What is Tractive?
Tractive makes wearable GPS trackers for dogs and cats that pair with a companion app to show a pet's real-time location on a map anywhere there's cellular coverage, unlike short-range Bluetooth trackers. The trackers also monitor activity, sleep, and behaviors like scratching, giving owners early alerts to potential health issues.
