About Tractive: GPS Technology for your fur babies
Founded in 2012 by a few animal-loving entrepreneurs based in Pasching, Austria, Tractive has developed into a global market leader in the area of GPS pet tracking within only a short period of time. Their mission: using technology to strengthen the connection between pets and their humans, securing a longer and safer mutual relationship. To reach this goal, Tractive has developed a cutting-edge GPS pet tracker with a compatible app.
These GPS trackers allow pet owners to locate their pet anywhere and in real time. They weigh only 35 grams, are extremely robust, 100% waterproof, virtually unbreakable and easily attach to your pet’s collar. The trackers operate across any distance and have a limitless range, allowing you to track your pet from the other side of the world. Owners can pinpoint their pet’s exact location directly via a free smartphone app or a web browser. Tractive also offers pet owners the option of an integrated virtual fence, sending an immediate alert as soon as a dog or cat leaves a pre-designated safe zone (geofence).

In this day and age of pets increasingly becoming an integral part of our lives, it’s only natural for us to worry about their whereabouts and wellbeing.
