Visit Tractive

Tractive provides GPS and health trackers for cats and dogs, reporting live location over cellular networks and surfacing health insights such as activity, sleep, heart and respiratory rate, and scratch monitoring.

The product line includes the DOG 6, DOG 6 XL, DOG 6 XL Adventure, and CAT 6 Mini, with battery life varying by model. The app offers live GPS tracking, activity and sleep monitoring, heart and respiratory rate monitoring, family sharing, location history, and GPS data export. Tractive is packaged as a hardware purchase plus a per-tracker subscription in Basic and Premium editions, billed monthly, yearly, every two years, or every five years, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. An optional Tractive Care add-on covers loss, damage, or theft of the tracker.
