About Tractive Smart Dog GPS Tracker
This is the standard Tractive dog tracker: a small unit that clips to the collar and reports live location, with virtual fences that send an alert when a dog leaves a set area and a location history to retrace a route. The listing gives up to 14 days of battery.
Two things to settle before buying. The maker's XL listing says a subscription is required, so confirm the plan on this page and what happens when it renews. And the listing sizes this model for dogs over 8 lb, with a separate XL version for dogs over 44 lb.
