• Find my cat: open-source Cat Tracker

  Which is what, 10 times as expensive as something purpose made like https://tractive.com/ ? - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Recommendation: Get a pet tracker

  Hi all- in seeing some posts about pets being stolen/lost, I highly recommend getting a pet tracker that fits on your collar. For ~$5-10/month, for your peace of mind, it is absolutely worth it. We have a tractive collar on our dog, and there are other options out there too. It's useful for when your dog escapes, if you have a dog walker, etc. An Apple airtag is only useful if there is a phone nearby- but with a... Source: 11 months ago

• Male or female?

  We are having daily walks where he is off the leash and it is working out great for us. He does his own thing and wanders around but he never lets the distance between us get too big, I’d say maximum 50 meters and then he is running back to me. I need to mention that we are using a tracking device always when he is off the leash(https://tractive.com/). I’ve always rewarded and praised him when he comes back to... Source: over 1 year ago

• Yesterday our indoor cat escaped for the first time. 12 hours later he came home to my wife. (OC)

  Cats definitely get lost less than dogs do. I could tell that kitty was thinking about his food bowl. I saw him licking his chops at the end of the video. I have a https://tractive.com/ tracker on my cat, it works awesome. If he doesn't come home, I go to him. Source: over 1 year ago

• I currently don't own a dog (but I dream of it and was raised around dogs) and I thought this is the one worth sharing

  This is what I'm using for my dog: https://tractive.com. Source: almost 2 years ago

• My dad doesn't understand why I insist on keeping a GPS tracker on my dog's collar

  Oh yes of course! It's called Tractive. https://tractive.com/ So... According to their website the battery only lasts 7 days, but for me it has lasted up to 13 days. Also, for this tracker to be charged so infrequently it needs to be connected to wifi, it goes into power saving mode in the wifi zone. Just a heads up about that. Source: almost 2 years ago

• PSA: Dog/Cat owners, please buy an Apple AirTag for your pets

  Or better yet, get a product specifically designed for pets - Tractive. Source: about 2 years ago

• Apple’s AirTags are being abused by car thieves and stalkers

  There are pet trackers that can do the same thing more accurately with an LTE and GPS connection. This one for example can give real time location updates, can last for multiple days on a charge, and gives location history over the last 24 hours. Sure it’s more expensive than airtags and requires a subscription for service, but it’s still far more problematic as it won’t tell a potential victim that they’re moving... Source: over 2 years ago

• Interesting decision to not oversubscribe cells

  Livestock don't use internet? That's changing. They're able to use cell towers and gps to "virtual fence" cattle with what are rapidly more affordable collar mounted units. And in my case, I can log on to tractive.com from any internet connection and precisely track my dog's collar-attached rechargeable unit. And right now my internet is with Starlink.

• Gizmo a few days after I rescued him, and today.

  I bought this one https://tractive.com/ it lasts about 1.5 days depending on how active my cat is outside, takes about an hr to charge. Source: over 2 years ago
