Pawfit 2 GPS Dog Tracker for Pet Dog Collar, Three Positioning, IP68 Waterproof, Removal Alert, Safety Zone Alert, Included Embedded SIM Card, Mini GPS Tracker for Dogs and Large Cats

pup on the range! To begin, I want to be clear that you will have to pay a monthly subscription fee to use this device, which I believe is around $5 per month and drops as you pay for more months in advance. No, this device isn't perfect. This isn't the app for you if you need to know where your pet is at all times of day, down to the second. When my dog is inside or hasn't moved in a while, it sometimes has trouble locating her. We live in the country, so I let her out first thing in the morning, and I was concerned that she would get too close to roads or areas where I knew deer were being hunted. I had hoped for something that would simply inform me of her whereabouts. However, she does a good job of updating me in real time when she is on the move. I've had it for two weeks and have had no problems tracking her location in real time on the app every morning when I let her out for a run. It also allows you to set a "zone," after which you will receive a notification on your phone if your pet leaves the zone. I've missed it a couple of times because there's no sound, just a banner alert, and the voice recording/alarm feature is the most useful feature for me. With a beeping collar (it was a shock collar, but I never had to use the shock), I had already trained my dog to come to me. So, if I think she's getting too far away from home or getting too close to a road, I can record my voice and watch her turn around in the app! It's pretty cool, if I do say so myself. I've only had to use the alarm once (a constant beeping) when I called her home and it appeared that she was distracted by something. Just for that, it's well worth the money! br>•Every two days or so, I have to charge the battery. br>• She has yet to misplace or knock off the tracker. That didn't seem like it would be a big deal, so I'm glad it isn't. Especially for a puppy who enjoys running through the woods and brush, as well as playing with other dogs. If it comes off, I'm assuming I'll be able to track it down and find it (hopefully). br>•Sometimes I'll check the app and it'll tell me she's somewhere she isn't, like in the middle of the lake or in my neighbor's house while she's sleeping in my bed. This is usually because she is inside or hasn't moved in a long time, but I'm guessing your area's cell service has something to do with how well the gps can track your pet's location. •This was the cheapest type of pet tracker I could find on here, and I'm glad I didn't go with a more expensive option because it has everything I need and more. It has made me very happy!.

This tracker has made my life a lot easier. I was on the verge of choosing another when I came across this one. It isn't as well-known in the United States, owing to its origins in the United Kingdom, but it is fantastic. It, like most trackers, requires mobile data, and this is the most affordable plan I could find. br>br>Prosbr>Beautiful user interface. The tracker is controlled by a smartphone app. It's extremely well-designed, and I'm quite taken aback by it. br>br>Live tracking of your dogbr>br>Waterproof up to 3 meters, which is ideal for my water-loving puppy. Ability to set zones/boundaries with alarms if they cross them, as well as record short voice recordings that can be sent to the tracker, such as "Fido, come," or anything else. br>br>Con'sbr>There aren't any that I can think of. I was hoping the tracker would record both of our walks. It calculates Junie's steps by measuring the app's (my) walk on the phone. I was hoping to compare how many miles we both walk on our walks because she walks a lot more than I do, and it would be interesting to know. It's not a deal breaker, and hopefully it'll be addressed in a future update. br>br>The data plan is only 2G, which may be a problem for some Americans. Before purchasing this tracker, I contacted Pawfit with my zip code, and they assured me that the 2G network in my area was good and would be good at least until 2025. To avoid disappointment, I recommend that anyone thinking about buying this tracker do the same. br>br>And that concludes my assessment. The Pawfit 2 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a dog tracker who lives within the 2G network range. br>br>One final point. "Sent it back, it didn't work out of the box," and "tracker didn't connect to app on my phone" are among the negative reviews I've seen here. No, you won't be able to do anything until you have data. You'll need to get a data plan in place. To set it up, go over the directions. It's the equivalent of trying to use Google Maps while driving but not having a data plan on your phone. It won't work unless you have a data plan.

In the United States, it does not exist! There was no mention of 2G cell service in the descriptor, which is an outdated technology that is only available from T-Mobile. Mobile service in my area of Florida is so spotty and weak that it won't connect; I confirmed this with their office. After wasting a lot of time trying to figure out why it wouldn't work, I'm returning it because it's unusable. The company attempted to respond to my support request and repeated troubleshooting tips from their website that I had already tried, but they are based in the United Kingdom, and their support offers no phone number to call for assistance, only an email address. As a result, troubleshooting becomes more difficult. I figured it out after wasting a lot of time trying to figure out why it wouldn't connect and looking into 2G service in my area. It appears to be a well-made tracker that will fit comfortably on a cat or dog's collar. It was supposed to be for a male cat, so I went with that option.

I couldn't have asked for a better solution! Not only can I keep track of his whereabouts, but I can also summon him home at the touch of a button if he wanders too far or into a dangerous area. I had no idea this feature existed until I saw it and tried it out - with success! Hundreds of acres of cattle fields and wooded areas surround us for the first time!br>br> In the 8 years we've had Shiloh, he's been a very friendly dog who has never bothered man or beast. He has, however, always had a strong desire to wander. He and I are both overjoyed that he can now roam to his heart's content without fear of straying onto the highway, where he has already been involved in one accident. We don't want anything like that to happen again.

No good. This is not a worthwhile investment of time or money. We returned it because we couldn't get accurate readings when we tried tracking it. It's so old that it won't even keep track of your dog. To find your dog, you should use a pigeon.
