The idea of training your puppy to walk with you without a leash is, no doubt, enticing. Do you have a kitty who yearns to explore the world outside the four walls of your home? The same fear of a runaway pet stops both you and your pet from experiencing this freedom and joy. However, there is a solution. Invest in a GPS tracking collar for your pet. Here are some of the top and best GPS trackers in the market.

1.  Tractive GPS Tracker
Tractive has almost perfected the art of making pet trackers. With a “LIVE” Tracking mode, your pet’s location gets transmitted every 2-3 seconds. However, primarily marketed for dogs, this tracker is manufactured keeping both cats and dogs in mind. You can track activity and location simply by clipping the device onto the existing collar on your pet. You can also easily set up a virtual fence or safe zone. The tracker will notify you when your furry friend decides to step outside the established safe limits. The device is waterproof, light- and shock-resistant, and the battery lasts for up to 5 days after being charged for merely 2 hours. Payment plans for the Tractive GPS Tracker can be monthly, or 1-, 2-, 5- yearly.

2. Pod 3 GPS Tracker
If you are looking for a compact but feature-packed device, this is the pet tracker for you. Pod 3 can be used for dogs and cats and keeps track of both their location and activity. The device allows you to create multiple safe zones for parks, homes, and workplaces. The App presents a 24-hour location history and is available in both Apple and Android variants. The Pod 3 GPS Tracker includes a collar, but you require subscription plans to use this. The device has excellent battery life and is water-resistant. 

3. Jiobit GPS collar tracker 
The Jiobit GPS collar tracker is a low-profile, lightweight, universal pet tracker that allows you to see your pet everywhere and also enables you to get their attention. This sounds too good to be true, right? Well, Jiobit fulfills the dream with a combination of cellular, GPS, Bluetooth, and WiFi technology. The simple, lightweight design makes it comfortable for your furry friends and does not hinder their ability to move around. An inbuilt ringer allows you to get their attention remotely. The device is durable and has a battery life of 7 days. A monthly plan, however, must be purchased.

4. Baby 3G GPS Pet Tracker 
While most trackers are plain and inconspicuous, Baby presents patterned GPS trackers. However, it does not come with a collar, but you can clip on these cute trackers onto almost any existing collar. You can create virtual fences and receive real-time alerts when your pets wander outside these zones. You require a subscription plan to use this tracker, and options start from 5 dollars a month. You can monitor steps, calories burned, sleep patterns, and intensity of playtime with this pet tracker.

Depending on where you live and the lifestyle you and your pets lead, you can choose an appropriate collar. It is crucial to be able to say for sure that your pet is not an escape artist!
