Where do pets roam when they are out and about? Did they eat when their family is away? Are there any health concerns they cannot speak up about? Pet tracking and pet care is like having a front-row seat to pets’ secret life, while keeping them safe on wild explorations. It’s about watching their epic journeys in real-time, uncovering the secret hideouts, and being aware of critical changes in their behavior or health. By combining pet tracking technology with accurate data and reliable connectivity, we can keep small companions safe and promote responsible pet parenthood.
Pet tracking and smart pet care technology is often lifesavers – a built-in compass with a benefit knowing pets are safe on their adventures. Generating constant alerts and defining geographic perimeters helps to reduce anxiety and uncertainty as well as the possibility of accidents when pets are missing. As more and more furry friends become integral parts of families, the demand for advanced IoT pets trackers is skyrocketing. Only in 2022 the amount of IoT-based tracking devices, including dog, cat, and bird trackers reached 12.5 m in EU and North America according to Berg Insight.
The competition among pet tracking devices is booming. Austria-based Tractive leads the pet tracking market with a subscriber base approaching one million. In North America, notable providers include Fi, Whistle, and Halo, the latter offering a comprehensive pet GPS tracking and containment solution.
