Never wonder where your dog is again
For escape artists, adventurous dogs and owners who need peace of mind. Tractive uses a built-in SIM and mobile networks to give you live GPS tracking in 175+ countries where supported coverage is available — not Bluetooth, not a device network. Real GPS, in real time.
In the UK alone, 1,808 dogs were reported stolen in 2024 (Direct Line, 2024), and 61% of dog owners say they worry about dog theft. Nearly one in four UK dog owners already use a tracking device. Tractive is how serious dog parents stay ahead of the worst-case scenario.
The tracker is the entry point. The subscription is the protection.
Tractive's tracker uses mobile networks via a built-in SIM. The subscription covers those network costs so you can track your dog in real time, anywhere coverage is available. Without the plan, the device doesn't track. That's not a limitation — it's what makes it genuinely useful.
Choose the plan that fits your life
| Plan | Best for | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Owners who mainly need escape alerts and live tracking near home | Live GPS tracking, unlimited LIVE Tracking, escape alerts, heart and respiratory monitoring, activity and sleep monitoring |
| Premium - Recommended for most dog parents | Families, travellers, dog walkers, multi-person households | Everything in Basic, plus: family sharing, worldwide coverage, 365-day location history, GPS data export |
Best value: Most dog parents should choose Premium — especially if more than one person walks the dog, you travel, or you want long-term location history.
Budget pick: Basic is fine if you only need essential tracking and alerts close to home.
For travellers: Premium is the better fit — worldwide coverage is a Premium-only feature.

Which type of dog parent are you?
For escape artists
Get an instant alert the moment your dog leaves a safe zone. Set a virtual fence around your home, garden or a familiar area — and know immediately if they've gone beyond it.
For off-lead walkers and hikers
Use live tracking and the built-in light and sound feature when your dog disappears into woodland, fields or low light. No more shouting into the dark.
For anxious owners
Check their location from your phone instead of panicking. See exactly where they are, updated every 2-3 seconds in live mode.
For families and dog walkers
Premium family sharing lets more than one person track the dog at the same time. Perfect for households where multiple people walk, sit or care for your dog.
For travellers
Premium is the better fit if you travel internationally with your dog. Worldwide coverage is a Premium-only feature — works in 175+ countries where supported mobile coverage is available.
For health-conscious dog parents
Monitor activity, sleep, heart rate, respiratory rate, barking and health patterns. Get weekly reports and health alerts so you notice changes before they become problems.
