For each model, they tested tracking ability, evaluated ease of use (including how easy they are to charge and attach to a dog’s collar), and ease of setup (including installing and connecting the app). The CR lab team performed formal evaluations of seven popular pet trackers. Sheepadoodles require a lot of activity, so these features were especially appealing to my family: It’s nice to know if we’d managed to get Luna enough exercise on any given day, or if we hadn’t and needed to extend her last walk of the day. Most of the devices also serve as a fitness tracker for your pooch, helping you set daily exercise goals based on their breed, weight, and age, and letting you know how many steps, miles, or active minutes your dog is getting each day and over time. Some also let you designate danger zones and alert you if your dog is approaching a busy street, say, or a body of water.
Most GPS pet trackers also allow you to create a safe zone around your home-defined either by being close enough to still be connected to your WiFi, or by staying within a geofence that you demarcate on a map-and then alert you if your dog leaves that zone. By contrast, a GPS pet tracker enables you to actively track a missing pet in real time with a high degree of accuracy. Microchips rely on someone finding your pet, “reading” it with a specialized electronic tool, and then contacting you.
These devices are very different from the small microchip identification tags that many dogs have implanted beneath their skin.
