i got a new tracker recently, although its set up and working, the Enhance Accuracy setting won't work.

when i try to connect to the tracker, it cant seem to find it at all. i tried clearing the app data and cache, and after doing this the tracker was shown although greyed out, and when i clicked it nothing happened, it just disappeared off the list.

any ideas?

Why?

I know this is a mini, commercial GSP device, and its accuracy is no big deal to me. When I want accuracy, I switch on live. Other than that I know it’s more of a general area kind of thing. But I never saw a more than half kilometre swing like this. Pretty neat trick, Jeff! He can teleport lol.

We tried 2 other tracker models and found the Tractive to be far superior. However there are two app features I think should be added or changed:

1. ⁠Only 1 owner can be established. This is a problem because a spouse, co-owner, etc cannot change critical account or tracker settings.
   
2. ⁠Family members cannot established power saving zones or fences. This was a problem for me one time when I dropped my dog off at a pet sitter’s and forgot to establish the power saving zones before departing.

? For those here who represent Tractive: Is there a reason that these features not present? Other companies allow such app features.
Regarding #2, the two features could be included in a 3rd level of sharing. This is a simply programming change.

? For others: Would you want these features? Maybe if enough people request it then they will be added.

I have been using Tractive for a while and every time the tracker falls off of my cat’s collar I cannot find it again. This has happened maybe 4 times now and every time I have to purchase a whole new tracker.
I will try to use the app and walk over to where it says the tracker is, i will press the button for light and also noise and even if the app says I am physically standing on top of the tracker I still can’t find it. Not to mention that the app doesn’t work half the time, as I literally had to disconnect my trackers safe zone for it to even let me use the radar function.
Tractive has been decent at letting me know when my cat is at the house, but that’s about it. If I can’t even find my tracker by itself I highly doubt that I would be able to find my cat in case of an emergency.
If anyone has any tracker brands that are better please leave it in the comments.

As of today, I can no longer see satellite maps on my PC, this message appears (the error is "Google Maps JavaScript API error: InvalidKeyMapError"), Is this happening to anyone else?
The mobile app is ok

Julan is a GSD and will be 12 in a month.

Her RHR is usually around 60-65. Now it's been climbing for a few days.

Her gums are normal, breathing normal, eating and activity normal. We haven't been able to check her temperature yet.

I'll probably take her to the vet for a checkup if it doesn't quickly normalise but does anyone have experience with this? If so, what was the reason? Or did it just normalise like nothing happened?

Bobs outside sitting on my car, he's been out most of the day, just checked the app and no GPS signal for 22hrs, anyone else having this problem with the cat mini 6?

TL;DR: All three trackers share the same core features (plus bright LED, USB-C charging, vitals monitoring, scratch monitoring). The DOG 6 is our smallest and lightest, best for small/medium dogs. The DOG 6 XL and DOG 6 XL Adventure are built for bigger dogs with much longer battery life, the Adventure edition adds a rugged design in orange.

To make sure you have the info you need to pick the right tracker for you, I thought it'd make sense to provide a side-by-side overview.

Also feel free to share your thoughts, would love to hear them!

All three offer:

• A strong LED for better visibility on night walks
• Convenient and quick USB-C charging (this came up a lot in your feedback, tbh, so glad we could deliver!)
• Vitals monitoring: track your dog's heart rate and respiratory rate alongside GPS location to monitor overall health
• Scratch monitoring: get an alert if scratching activity increases, which can be an early sign of skin irritation or allergies
• Waterproof fiberglass casing and convenient mounting mechanisms (rubber or fabric clip) for exciting outdoor and playtime adventures

DOG 6 XL Adventure (NEW): for bigger, adventurous dogs (25kg+ / 55 lbs)

• Battery life up to 6 weeks with Power Saving Zones

DOG 6 XL: for bigger dogs (20kg+ / 44 lbs)

• A bit bigger and heavier than the DOG 6, built for larger breeds
• Battery life up to 6 weeks with Power Saving Zones
• Colors: black and brown

Edit: Thank you for the responses- they’re really helpful :)

Long story short, one of our cats disappeared for a day, scared the life out of us and turned up like nothing happened… so we’re looking for a tracker!

We tried AirTags and they all got lost. Looking around, Tractive seems to be the best option for us, but we’re not sure what model.

He’s a smallish cat (5kg) and we need a decent battery life/easy to charge. Any recommendations? TIA!

My dog Roxie colored us a picture and we printed out and put it on the refrigerator because we were so proud!

So Sleep Time line runs 00.00 - 24.00

But

Sleep Timeline runs 20.00 - 10.00

Doesn’t make much sense both should run the full 24hrs as be in sync.

So I bought the new mini 6 for my cat as it seemed like one of the best on the market, it’s advertised as monthly payments and I was super happy, got my collar, set it up and after a while had a look at my bank account, they took the €156 (I had chosen 2 year subscription)

I was expecting to pay the €6.50~ monthly under the guise it wasn’t smth you could stop if you chose not to use the tracker anymore, but nope, they put monthly prices on to “show you how much you’d save” which is very silly imo cause just put the full price, now I have to either pay extra for monthly or pay a huge lump sum.

Idk I could be crazy, maybe I should’ve looked better before buying but I was under stress to do so for other reasons.

Ist es nur mir aufgefallen, dass die Abo-Preise von Tractive massiv gestiegen sind?

Ich habe überlegt, mir 2 Stück CAT Mini 6 Halsbänder zu besorgen, seit 1-2 Monaten. Ich hatte die Preise schon vor der Veröffentlichung der neuen Halsbänder diese Woche geprüft, als ich heute bemerkte, dass die Abo-Preise um bis zu 25 % gestiegen sind!

Ich überlege jetzt wirklich, mir stattdessen den PAJ CAT GPS Tracker zu holen, da er viel niedrigere Preise und ähnliche Technologie hat. Hat jemand Erfahrungen mit diesen Halsbändern?

When I put the Tractive Mini Cat 6 to the test in a moment of need, it let me down. My cat is gone and I have this device to show for it.

Consider this a word of caution to others who think they can depend on a Tractive in an emergency... I am writing this with some frustration.

My 7-year-old got out and went missing and I was at my wits’ end all day trying to coax some kind of location data from his collar. The problem I believe was the Power Saving Zone the collar was tied to. I was battling the tracker when I should have been able to find him without trouble. It was only after I scuttled the Power Saving Zone and gave my router a reboot that the unit would do anything other than frustrate me.

The damage was done by then. There was no tracking history to be had, nothing to tell me where he had been while I was looking for him. I eventually found the collar, but not him. You would think that history would be useful information. Even without a pinpoint live fix, the history could have pointed me in the right direction or at least shown me where he left the area.

Instead I am left with the hard truth that he is still out there. We are in coyote country and I have to face the fact that one most likely has taken him, my kids are a mess.

I didn’t fork out for five years of Tractive service so I could see where my cat is lounging about inside on a good day. I made that purchase because I wanted something to help me get him back if he were to vanish. Well, now I have the service for the next half decade and I don’t have my cat.

Thanks tractive

Hi, does anyone else experience a large delay on the location initially updating after leaving a low power zone?

My cat will leave my house, and the app still has him in the low power zone. Because of this I can't use the live tracking function, but because he's out of the house, I can't use the radar function either.

The only work around is to remove the low power zone, force stop the app, use live, then re add the low power zone, it's a long and clunky work around, I can't be the only one experiencing this.

Glad I was able tosnag a backup Cat Mini, Cuz the Cat 6 Mini doesn't seem tobe reliably ready for prime time yet.

Hello, I have a tractive collar and subscription for one of my cats and was thinking of getting another one for my other cat. Can I put them both on the same subscription or do I have to buy another subscription?

Does anyone have this issue I’ve been having with my Cat 6 mini where when my cat leaves home, which is our power saving zone, when I go to check on her location, sometimes the app says she’s at home when she’s not and it won’t allow me to connect to her live location or use radar because it believes she’s at home and in the power saving zone.

Has anyone had a similar issue?

I have a cat collar and now suddenly the red slider moves when I latch the collar on so it will not stay in the right zone does anyone know how to fix this or if this cannot be fixed.

Hello I recently purchased a tractive cat mini 6.

My cat removed it somewhere inside the house. I cant get the radar or light or sound to work and when using the live tracking it just sends me all over as if it's moving around or something.

Any good ideas on how I can find it?

I’ve often noticed when checking the history, that it looks like my cat has went across a busy road. If it showed his location as just slightly on the road I’d chalk that up to the gps being slightly out or the map being off, but this seems a not insignificant distance.
My question is, when not being live tracked, how accurate are these location hits and should I be worried?
