Cat Tracker RF Finder Longest Range up to 1600 ft lightest pet Safety Tracking Device only 0.28oz Small Pets Dog Girafus Pro-Track-tor Pet Tracker

If you have a sneaky little dog like mine that's really good at hide and seek (And sometimes isn't even in the house!) this is a great way to keep track of your pet (dog or cat). She wears a cat collar with Beau's Bells (Also purchased on Amazon) on it so my family has two ways of keeping track of her now. Thankfully she hasn't managed to sneak out of the house again, but this "Cat Tracker" so far has reduced a game of "hide and seek" from 10 minutes and over to less than 5 minutes. To bring up some slight negatives but not enough to take away a star, it's a little expensive but compared to other means of tracking your small pet (assuming they're an indoor pet), it's the least expensive option I've seen with the bonus of being simple to use and effective. The fact you have to change and charge the rechargeable battery (LIR2032H) that goes inside of the tracker tag every 5 days (the instructions say if the battery is 100% drained, it becomes unchargeable), is very annoying and some people may even forget to do this critical step. However, for me, I just put a reminder on my calendar so I don't forget and plan on purchasing more of the batteries so I always have a charged battery for my pet's tracker tag (You can buy them on Amazon). I can't comment on its durability yet since it hasn't even been a week since I got it. The only nitpick I have is that the screws that come with it are really TINY (There is some assembly required.). I wished it came with a tiny bag to hold them (like a really small sandwich bag or something) because they are definitely small enough to get lost themselves. To fix this issue myself, I just used the smallest snack bag I had to hold them. Overall, (just to never have to play my dog's games again) WORTH IT.

After the cat lost the two tags that came with the product, I ordered a new tag--which I was unable to register. First of all, the replacement unit was a Pink tag. AFter reading the confusing and incomplete pairing instructions dozens of time, I was unable to determine if each tag color is fixed against Based on the product with 3 and with 4 tags, it appears that the pink tag is hardwired for search #4. The next gap in the instruction id that the tag must be turned on for the pairing. But nowhere is there an instruction to turn on the tag--which is also vague, since there is no on/off switch on the tag. So the only way it can be done is by removing the battery. But, why remove the battery if the tag must be powered on to respond to the pairing command? This kind of sloppy instruction makes the pairing process far more difficult than it should be. But after thorough experimenting with the Set and search buttons, no combination worked. I couldn't not pair the tag, which makes the tracker worthless. Is the problem, associated with the new tag, or simply the instructions is wholly inadequate? As an engineers with decades of experience in designing consumer user interface, I give this one a royal lemon. Please ignore my initial rating. If it can't be registered with replacement tags, it it pretty much useless. This is a very early comment on the Pro-track. I have a cat that likes to roam the neighborhood at night. Homes here are on acre+ size lots with almost jungle like foliage behind the homes, where my cat can easily disappear. In the past, he can usually be located by clapping my hands as I walk up and down the street. But recently for unknown reason, this hasn't been very effective. I suspect that he might have travel far behind the homes and may have gotten lost in the thickets. The more days that he is missing, the more likely he has gone much farther away. The first time I use the Pro-Track, I was able to narrow his location to one or two homes--instead of back tracking repeatedly while clapping my hands, and annoying my neighbors. I was about 800 fet from my house when I heard the first time it beep, I knew that the cat had to be nearby. At am hours, my cat modus operandi is to stealthily return home when he knows I am looking for him. I was about 600 ft from my home when the beeping started to slow down indicating my cat was moving away toward my home.. Just as I suspected, he was already in my front yard when I got back. I was elatded If I can get him home each night, there is much less chance that he might wander deep into the thickets and get lost.for many days. As an RF device, vs tracking devices that use SIM cell phone technology, setup is a breeze. As an aside, I have no options but to go RF as I live in a cell phone dead-spot. The cat is oblivious to the presence of the light weight tag on his collar. The beep from the tag meant to help the searcher to locate the animal has an unexpected benefit. It alerts my cat, much like clapping of my hand, that I am looking for him. In the coming months, I plan to write a more thorough review. Battery life, reliability, performance are factors that I need to address before I can give it a haerty rating.

Let me preface this by saying that this item is a great bargain and well worth the money! But theres a few things you should know. I initially bought the 2 pack of this in June and then liked how well it was working so I asked about getting extra tags from the seller. It looks like to get extra tags you have to program them to your remote and they come from the factory which comes with shipping costs etc. It sounded kinda complicated so I bought the 4 pack and kept the 2pk as backups in case my cats lose these. So if you have 4 cats, just do yourself a favor and buy the 4 pck first. Pros: Works really well when the battery is charged up. Its a basic tracker so it leads you in the direction your cat is in. But you have to trust the tracker and follow it and remember that you are following a cat. So in other words, dont stick to main roads, your cat is going to be anywhere and everywhere and if you have cats you probably know what i mean lol You can touch the number that the tracker corresponds to once and the bars will light up telling you whether you are closer or farther away. Green means your going in the right direction. You can press and hold the number button for the cat your tracking and a quick beep will sound which just confirms that you are going the right direction. Not too loud but loud enough that you know if your cat is within 30 ft of you. Con: The method that is suggested with the packaging is a velcro type thing and a silicone case. This will NOT protect the device from water and if your cat is indoor/outdoor it will probably get wet. The battery immediately stops working if it gets damp so its essentially useless. I would HIGHLY recommend the manufacturers come up with a hard plastic case with a carabiners or velcro attachment to it. Right now i am trying to come up with ways to waterproof it. So far I have tried: saran wrap, zip loc bags, and 2 by 4inch 4 mil bead bags. So far the bead bags are working but I have yet to test it out in the rainy season as its not that time of year yet. I have to tape the device once its in this bag to the collar (using electrical tape). This seems to be the best way to keep it from getting wet and also keep it secure to the collar. Another con: the two halves of the device are held together by screws. These keep it closed and the battery in place. But it would be easier if the sides just snapped in place versus having to pull out the screw driver every time you want to replace the battery. The battery lasts a little less than two weeks. I replaced a fully charged battery in one device on August 23rd and it was dead on Sept 4th. This is a long enough time that i feel its worth the maintenance for my four babies for peace of mind. But you have to stay on top of it otherwise its pretty useless in helping you find your cats. You know that the battery is dead when the bars don't light up. If the batteries charged it should blink a couple of times for it to catch the signal of the device and then at least one bar will light up if you arent too far away. The Charger: Works well. Buy yourself another pack of rechargeable 3052 batteries and swap them out so you always have extra ones on hand. Then when it comes time to switch out you can easily replace them without having to wait a day for it to charge. Whatever you do DONT close the two halves of the charger. This will be a pain to get back open. You can easily see the charging lights with it open. If you unplug the device and plug it back in the lights should flash red once and go out if they are fully charged. They will stay red or green if charging and go out to black when fully charged. Overall, if you are willing to do the maintenance of replacing the battery every two weeks and waterproofing/taping onto collar then this is a good bet for you! The charge lasts a lot longer than i've seen other ones last and the tracker leads in the right direction. I have used this to track my cat to the neighbor house he likes to visit. This was also useful when my other cat got into a neighborhood fight with another stray. She came home without her collar and i pulled out this tracker and tracked her collar out of the culdesac and over a house, 4 houses away. It was under a bush next to a neighbors front door and with the tracking bars, the beeping, and the flashing red of the device I was able to find it easily. So it is also saving me money on lost collars too! This is a great device, wayyyy cheaper than a gps tracking collar because you dont have to pay a subscription feet. This easily fits onto their collar. its not too big, and its perfect for giving you a direction to go in when looking for your cat. I have had a couple cats go missing and this gives me peace of mind. If they fix the kinks with water proofing the cover and attaching it to the collar then I would definitely buy those cases or the upgraded version.

I lost the handset for my Loc8tor Pet, and it was no longer available to purchase, so I bought this. It works at a far greater range than the other product, which is the best thing about it. If there's no substantial obstacle, it beeps when my cat is some 1/4 + mile away in the forest. It's harder to pinpoint direction, though, and can be as much as 20 degrees off either way, which is substantial, but with practice you can learn to narrow it down a bit. The handset is bulkier, and seems to be made of cheaper materials, but the thin, sleek design, black color, and small size of the Loc8tor Pet handset probably contributed to its loss, so the bulkiness and light colors can be an advantage in a way. The 2-piece tag, which slides apart for battery insertion often slides apart a fraction without my help, possibly knocked apart when the cat scratches himself. When this happens, it renders the whole setup useless. It's better than nothing, works most of the time, and is a lot smaller & cheaper than any GPS system I've seen.

The product has an impressive quality and build. It looks and feels well-made with quality materials and precision manufacturing. One day one of the cats took his collar off outside. It rained all day on the tag. It was still working when we found it. It's made in Germany and the seller is based in Germany as well. The communication and customer support from the seller were 5 star. The tags and the base unit are quite a bit smaller than what it looks like from some of the product images. Learning how to use the device might take some time. The operation of the buttons and lights are not immediately obvious. The manual could be simplified. Here is some useful information that we discovered through using it: - The tags are already paired with the base unit when you receive it. No need to set anything up. Just insert the batteries and everything is ready to use. - The base unit should stay off unless you are looking for your pet. - Whenever the base unit is turned on, it starts searching for the first tag. If you have more than one tag, press the second button to search for the second tag. As long as the base unit is on, it's searching for one of the tags. - When searching, the beeps are faster when you are getting closer to your pet. Usually the green light comes on when you're directly facing your pet. - The tags are always working. No on/off switches on them. The buttons on the tags are for checking the battery. - When you start the search, it's recommended to first turn in place around yourself in both directions so that the base unit can survey the strength of signal coming from all directions. This is referred to in the manual as calibration. It's to be done at the start of every search. It's not a one-time calibration of the device.

Strongly encourage reading the entire instructions to ensure proper understanding and expectations of how this device works to get the most success. It helps to rotate the remote full circle a few times in both directions on high ground. I then walk in a circle about 20 feet wide which seems to give me a general direction to start walking. I continue to rotate the remote from left to right to observe the strongest signal. I leave the alarm switch on to hear the beeping get faster and higher pitch as I’m watching the lights grow stronger. I’ve tracked my cat from at least 500-800 ft thus far. It gets me 5-20 feet to the cat (as intended) so I start looking within that perimeter, at that point I turn off the remote beeping and keep an eye on the light and look for the cat. You can push the collar alarm but it’s really too faint unless you’re a few feet away to hear, good if you’re in tall weeds or bushes. It’s never intended to take you directly and immediately straight to your pet, their is a bit of wandering and experimenting to get the hang of it. I live in a rural heavily wooded area and can find my cat at dusk now if he hasn’t already returned home for the night, away from predators. I also intend to use it when there are storms moving it to get him inside. Super happy with product. Bought two tags in case he loses one. I did put some black electrical tape around the device rubber casing and collar to better secure to collar. LONG TERM 4 MONTH UPDATE: changing rating from 5 to 2 stars. Units started going into deep sleep for no reason. Instructions say take out battery and put back in. This resets it for only a cycle, when you track it only works for about one minute then permanently deep sleeps again, rendering the device useless. Tried fresh batteries, no go. I gave it 2 stars because it did work well for 4 months, always found my cat even upwards of 600 ft away, before deep sleep mode issues, obviously there is a flaw in the system. My advice is don’t waste your money like me ($90+) on this product and search for a more reliable solution.

Great product and work well. My cat just had an eye removed and we live rural so was afraid he would not find his way back home. But was able to track him down even when he went to neighbouring property. Also does not seem to mind wearing it.

My cats and I seem to approve. They do not mind wearing the tags as they are small and light. Bluetooth devices are much cheaper, but they work over such a small range that they are no use to me. If a cat is in bluetooth range, the cat is home, not lost. GPS tracking is a nice idea but requires a SIM and I live in a poor reception area. Actually, I live in the countryside of Japan and worry a GPS device would not receive a signal as not all phones work in this area. Also, battery life with GPS seems very short. By the time you think the cat is lost, the battery is probably dead. I therefore settled for a radio device, the Girafus, and I am completely satisfied. I had one minor problem, the charger worked with one battery but not two at the same time. It seems there was a bad connection. However, I contacted Girafus and they have sent me another. Sometimes there are minor faults in a product. It happens even with the best of manufacturers. What is important is how the company reacts. Girafus acted perfectly. They immediately sent a replacement. I recommend this product.

Funciona muy bien, el alcance de más de 500 mts, supongo que es en espacios abiertos, por qué cuando se atraviesan casas o muros, no alcanza el rastreador. La pila tiene buena duración, no la he cargado y lleva como 1 semana, en la caja dice que dura 30 días. El gato no siente el rastreador, es muy pequeño. Solo es un poco difícil entenderle a las instrucciones pero por lo demás funciona genial, el sonido que hace es muy molesto, y debería tener un volumen. Pero cumple con su cometido, es radiotransmisor no gps

Ik woon buiten op 2 hectare land. Mijn kater zwerft graag rond maar ik kan hem altjd binnen een paar minuten vinden, zelfs als hij ergens binnen is. Geweldig

I'm generally quite happy with this product. I do have a few things to recommend. 1: There is an instructional video available on YouTube. Search for "Girafus Tracker". The instructions are available in several languages. 2: You will likely find that your cat goes beyond the 500m range more often than you might have thought. Don't panic, it's quite normal! 3: When you need to recharge the battery in each tag, be careful not to lose the screws while the tag is open! (This is a bit of a nuisance; it would be so much better if it were possible to open and close the tag without the use of screws.) 4: I agree with some users that the included instructions are not very clear. In particular, the synchronization between the base unit and the tags is not clarified. However, it is nicely explained in the YouTube video.

Pour un chat de gouttière qui parcourt des kilomètres ce n'est pas suffisant, par contre pour un chat qui ne s'éloigne ca cela fonctionne très bien, je l'ai testé sur mes trois chats, je les ai lâchés dans la nature et les ai retrouvés en 2 min

Sencillo y Eficaz. Vengo de probar distintos localizadores GPS que no me han funcionado. Este aparato sirve y está bien hecho. Ayer los probé en el monte y si tienes un perro o dos que marchan a un bosque y no los puedes localizar, este aparato sirve donde no hay señal de teléfono. están bien hechos. No os dejéis timear por otros localizadores del mercado que dicen que localizan, dan señal de actividad t demás historias son un timo. Muy recomendable compra, se ve que hay un servicio detrás ya que te dan contactos por email en caso de necesidad. ponerlos en marcha es muy sencillo.
