A small waterproof tracker that clips to your dog's collar and shows their live location on your phone, with alerts if they leave a safe zone. It uses mobile networks, so it needs a subscription.

Our in-depth look

Who it's for

Dogs that slip out of gates, hounds that follow their nose, rescue dogs settling into a new home, and owners who hike with their dog off lead.

Who should skip it

Owners who don't want a subscription. A GPS tracker also isn't a replacement for an ID tag and microchip.

Tips

Set your home as a safe zone so you get an alert the moment your dog leaves. Charge it on the same day each week so the battery never runs out.
