Want peace of mind when your cat leaves the house? Track them with petTracer!
petTracer was created with one mission: TO FIND LOST CATS.
We don't measure steps or sleep patterns; we provide the best solution to find lost cats. 😺
These are the 3 reasons why cat owners choose petTracer:
1️⃣ GPS + Radio: Most trackers use only GPS, which doesn't work indoors. Our patented technology includes Radio Search Mode, so you can find your cat even in locked buildings, garages, or sheds.
2️⃣ Light & Comfortable: Our tracker looks like a regular collar and is designed specifically for cats. All electronics are inbuilt in a lightweight, ergonomic collar that your cat will actually wear.
3️⃣ Longest Battery Life: Our collars last up to 30 days on a single charge. Most other trackers need daily charging, giving you a very small window to find your cat if they go missing.
Enhance your pet's safety and enjoy peace of mind with petTracer.

I see the majority of these comments are attacking the company for comparing their own product against others. If you watch the video, none of the points discussed are subjective. Stuff like the radio frequency element and the fact that the battery lasts 15 times longer than the others are facts. I think that perhaps this video would have been more appropriately named "Why our product is the best on the market." It is not really a review of other trackers as they aren't being graded, it is simply a clever way of marketing their product by listing the strengths it has over the weaknesses of it's competitors.
Its not so expensive considering losing your best friend for life.. at the end of the day if losing your pet is a concern its worth every penny for me !
Couldn't agree more. Our cat went missing for 7 days. I cried every day. She went missing on the day they mowed at my apt and returned the day they mowed again the next week. She was really hungry and had lost a lot of weight. Half her body weight I think.
what tracker do u use?
@@neta335 Tractive.... I paid $50 for tracker and $98 for first year but it was so heavy it loosened her collar. I thought I had it fixed but the second time she wore it she lost it. It was fully charged but I tried for an hour and couldn't find it. Then my son was in the woods for almost 3 hours but we never found a gps tracker. They're worthless. On the ap it would show me but for no reason it would show that I was backtracking but I wasn't. My son thought I wasn't doing it right ( Dang millennials) but it did the same to him. I was promised my $98 back but I keep calling. It's been over a month. I don't think they work right in the states. At least not mine.
@@trishaann1616 so awful!!
Have you had any luck with other trackers?
@@neta335 No, I don't think the others work here either.
Sorry, how can you give an unbiased comparison review of your own product?
Hi Christine. If you do the above tests you will come to the same conclusion. Please let us know if you have had a different experience.
@@petTracer Thanks for responding 😊
CHRISTINE+ FACTS
200 euros for a product which is arguably slightly better than the competition? Drop the price by 100 euros and then you will see a real appetite or this.
my words and check how much per year
We would if we could but unfortunately this is just not possible for our product. We build our collars in Switzerland and they are made to last. Buy cheap buy twice.
A very lucid explanation of points to look for in a cat-tracker.
This is incredible, Im moving soon and my baby needs to have one cause I live in the middle of the city with cars and traffic and he's injured so he cant drink without a fountain and because his my life obviously ! :)
I'm not sure if you could call petTracer "cheap" .... it may have more options but it is at least double priced (and what is the difference between plus and basic ?)
Our cat lost the collar the first time he went out with it, although we could track it down to under the neighbours car... Before use I tested the release to see how easily it would come off, apparently you should not do this as it blunts the release clip making it easier to come off next time... So to make it harder to come off I dressed the release clip with a needle file to 'sharpen' it. Not too much, just enough to stop it coming apart so easily... This time it took 4 months for our cat to lose the collar (neighbours garden, we could see it pinging away so got it back again ok). I would think every time the clip is undone to put on the charger it blunts slightly, so I will keep monitoring the release mechanism. I prefer the 'elasticated' release type of collar, so I'm thinking of trying to convert to this... Btw, the collar is useful, I see my cat has a favourite place to go and spend time, not happy coz he has to cross a road!
Thank you for your comment Nathan
hey nathen, just wondering after a year what your thoughts are, as im looing at buying a cat tracer and value people reviews rather than company reviews (which this is)
Thank you for the video I lost my cat and thanks god is back home but know I am looking for tracker and you video it’s was very useful thank you 🙏 😊
Seconded.
I got paw track last year and fell in love with the design and wished more companies would do it because although the design was amazing the functions where horrible but now I see yours and find out you guys dont sell to America. when will it come to the state?
Pawtrack is horrible??? I'm trying to figure out which brand to get for my cat... Erghh.. I thought Paw track is the best. I like the design as it is small and not bulky.
Thank you for your comment. Please email us to obtain petTracer in America. hello@pettracer.com
You need petTracer then :)
Thanks mate 👍
Please I need quick response 😭
I live in Indonesia and been trying so hard to get this kind of collar for my cat, I went to website in your description but it just won't work, why is that? I really need this Petracer collar.
When will this be available for me to purchase and get shipped toCalifornia? :(
Please get in touch via email and we'll help you getting one :) hello@pettracer.com
Thank you for sharing this comparative study. The battery life is indeed very important
Thank you! and yes indeed. With most trackers only lasting under a day, you will be lucky to find a lost cat before running out of battery completely.
Oh this sounded so cool! Pretty pricy, though and i don’t understand the subscription system, so need to do more research.
I'm in the process of looking them up and according to their site the subscription costs are for digital map (since it's for commercial use you pay a licensing fee), server infrastructure and third party fees.
I am using this one
You can have one for 19€ from AliExpress it works fine but not super précise and use your own sim card which is much more flexible as you can have super cheap subscription in 4g depending the country
Here in France I pay 2€ a month for 80go per month in 4g
a.aliexpress.com/_vMXQqF
It seems the product shown in this video is much more precise but the question is would you rather pay 350€ a year for a good precision or 30€ a year for a precision of 15 meters
My answer is clear I prefer the cheaper version and hope my cat can hear me around 15 meters radius which always worked for me
Another point is that this chinese gps works for a day tops or 2 days if you close and open the gps when you need it
@@REDIUS999 Hi, how do you do to have a monthly subscription with the SIM card. I still don't understand how it works. Thank you very much for that link.
@@waffleaffle9837 I live in France and the communications here are dirt cheap
If you live in France you can get SIM card 4g with 60gb database for 8€ a month and if you you add 2€ extra € you get a second sim card with 60gb that you can use anywhere in your tablet computer or a gps cat like I do
And for the product I use for my cat it’s a gps from AliExpress that I bought for 20€
I must say it’s meh 😒 it works but when the GPS cover is BAD you see your cat fat away like 20km or something
For instance when the cat enters a building or gets under a car you lose the position so I am seeking for an affordable one that I can use my own SIM card in it
For now I couldn’t find any that is under 100€ that works fine
OH PLEASE!
OH PLEASE!
WORK!
Seems that you have done your homework for cat compatibility and cat tracking...
Gonna give it a try! I have 8 cats... Tired of having to go out and look for them!
Blessings James...
P.S. What's the range on the finder? Feet? Or Miles?
Not available in U.S. 🇺🇲 😭
Did they tell you petsonally that they don't ship to the US? Or did you read the info on their site that they sell in EU, UK and Switzerland only so far?
Please email us directly to obtain a petTracer in the US. hello@pettracer.com Thank you
Good review ..
Why the ".... ,, ?
Hi, could you test Ubeequee 4G please? Many thanks
,since I ordered, xx ,
Is this 2g or 3g and will it work in Australia of which no longer supports 2g
Hi! Neither, petTracer is a GPS collar that does not use mobile phone. We actually have a very big community in Australia of users please get in touch via email and we'll help you getting one hello@pettracer.com
Why can't the device be made much smaller? We live in the 21st century!
Mainly because of battery. That is the bulk of most of these devices.
@@petTracer Have you seen a smart watch? Very small compared to this cat tracker. xD
I’m looking for the pet tracer that you reviewed. Is there another name? Or could you help me with the manufacturer? Thank you.

What's the range???
Hi there, i'm wondering if i could have some recommendations ? I’ve been looking and reviewing GPS trackers recently for cats, and unsure what one is the most accurate? Any advice please ??my cat lewie went missing for 3 weeks and has returned recently, what tracker would you recommend in buying ?
Hi Beth, please watch the video. It is clear that petTracer is the winner all around. There are others which will be accurate but each has some pros and cons. www.pettracer.com
@@petTracer thank you ! :)
BETH+ WATCH THE DAMN VIDEO, GEESH, SO SILLY
@@leelunk8235 this was a long time ago now it unfortunately got lost
We need these in the us :(
Please get in touch via email and we'll help you to buy one. hello@pettracer.com
Did I hear that the location was furry, furry accurate :)
Is the product only available in the EU?
At the moment it is sold in the EU, Switzerland and UK. It's because of the radio band/frequency they use. However the manual ststes it is up to the potential buyer to find out if usage in your country is legal. So you might be able to get one also if you live in another country than the ones above.
@@TheMundusvultdecipi thanks for the info!
Please get in touch via email and we'll help you to buy one. hello@pettracer.com
I like what pet tracer is doing with their radio scanner which is great, but a max range of only 500m from the collar to the homestation is such a shame when other collars have unlimited range
This is why I was confused on their site. So even the GPS tracking only has 500m? Thats what it sounded like and then reading your comment is sounds like thats the case. Why is the GPS not standard and a sim and data can be purchased. The subscription is 125 a year for 500m GPS? How can that be
@@sprtwlf9314 yep, on their website they say if there are other homestations within the area that would also boost the range. I find it weird that they send gps locations via radio from the collar to their home station and then add the location to their server via the internet, seems like it could be a cost saving thing on their end maybe.
Hi, the GPS is unlimited. The signal is transmitted to the HomeStation via radio which is why this is limited to 500m. This means that if the cat is out of range but comes back into range you will be able to see in retrospect where ha has been. You can also make the HomeStation mobile by connecting it to a power bank and moving closer to the cats natural territory which will give you a new 500m area from that point as well as guide you with the Radio technology if you are getting closer or further away from him.
Hi, you understood how petTracer works but there are many reasons as to why we opted for this as our technology as opposed to using SMS like most other companies do. One of it is that many users dont like a device next to their cat's head constantly using telephone technology which could potentially cause radiation to their cat.
PET TRACER IS GOOD BUT YOU NEED A SUBSCRIPTION MAKING IT EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE
Sooo what one would most likely be recommended?
petTracer by far. Watch the video :)
www.pettracer.com
Can I use PetTracer in New Zealand?
Yes, please get in touch via email and we'll help you getting one hello@pettracer.com
If I have to pay a monthly service I am out. Maybe a one time charge I would consider it.
You can pay in advance for hardware and subscription to portal
Pettracer is work in Australia?
Hi Daria, yes! please email us, we actually have many petTracer users in Australia. Who knows maybe someone near you is already using it :) hello@pettracer.com
So what are they called? I can't hear you
Please visit our website www.pettracer.com if outside UK or www.pettracer.co.uk if in the UK. Thanks
How much cellular data does it consume?
petTracer doesnt use celullar data. Is GPS + RF (Radio)
The price for the device is already a no go. And also for the subscribe.
Its is never 4 times better then others, but the price is so.
It doesn't have to be 4 times better it just has to work. Most other trackers will run out of battery in a few hours, that alone makes them a bad alternative and truly a waste of money and false security.
Pawtrack NEVER EVER - quality and service are sucks
I'm living in US and I had a bit concern about buy collar from UK. I paid for this collar two month ago, one month later nothing ship to me, I sent email to customer support - they said - Yes we will send it to you soon, finally after 3 weeks it came to me. Device was different than on the site pictures. After two weeks using it was broken. Support said - it is my fault and I must to pay for both way shipping.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. We can ship a petTracer collar from Switzerland if interested in a great GPS collar for your cat. Please contact us via the site. www.pettracer.com
Pleease step-by-step
This is very bad news for me because I live in the states and only tractive and paw tracker work here. 😭
Hi Trisha, we have many users in America who use petTracer :) Please email us on: hello@pettracer.com
this is just u advertising ur own product and i have 2 cats why would i spend 400 dollars on 2 small trackers when i could get a really good one for 20$?
Because these high quality tracers are the only ones who work and even then there are issues. Read Steve Bs review above to get a better idea. You get what you pay for. But if you delude yourself into thinking constructing a cat tracer is a piece of cake go ahead and order some of these supercheap junk tracers on Aliexpress. Don't forget to post your experience here pls after 1 month (more like 1 day) of use.
Please let us know where you can find a really good one for $20 🧐
Please send me as gift..
It’s sooooooooooo expensive
PET TRACER IS THE BEST ONE BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION MONTHLY
Dont buy it very unrelayable!
Really? Please tell us how it is unreliable and why people shouldn't buy it. Thanks
