10 Best Dog GPS Trackers UK 2024 | Tractive, Pawfit and More

It was a tough call, but for our no.1 spot we've chosen the Pawfit 2 GPS dog tracker. Not only does it track in real time, but it also combines all the added features you could ever want. It has a superior IPX68 rating, making it practically indestructible and unrivalled accuracy when tracking activity. 

This tracker is capable of calculating calories burned, activity, rest and distance covered, precisely determined using your dog's age, breed, weight and size. This makes it great for any dogs from speedy escapists to overweight oldies. 

This is the newer, updated version of the Tractive GPS. This tracker builds upon its predecessor, retaining the ability to live track, record and work in over 150 countries. This time around, they've added some brilliant features to improve the best-selling device's functionality. 

For instance, you can now use activity tracking to keep up to date with your dog's fitness. This system has also dropped the weight, making it suitable for smaller pooches to wear without being burdened.  

This tracker is specifically designed for small dogs, and could even be great for outdoor cats, too! The lightweight design means it won't be a burden to your pet, so they can have fun exploring while still staying safe. 

The durable and waterproof design makes it great for pups that like to play in the mud. However, there is no information available on specific battery life, as the durability will vary depending on what features you use!

This tracker boasts unlimited range and can even locate your dog precisely on the map to within 16 feet no matter where you are! If you're often out and about and find yourself worrying about your dog escaping home, this is the perfect option to keep your mind at ease.

The battery on this tracker will last up to 50 days when fully charged, and with a waterproof design and virtual fencing features, it really is a great all-rounder! Our only concern is that the collar is quite thick, so if your dog hates cumbersome accessories, this might not be the best tracker for you.

Weenect's GPS dog tracking device is the smallest and lightest on the list. This smart tracker will send you updates every minute the dog is moving, but only every 5 minutes once the dog has stopped to save on battery life. 

You can also use this tracker to help train your dog. It can be set to ring with each meal, in theory teaching them to return home at meal times. The app requires a bit of effort to set-up, but if you're tech-savvy this may not be a problem.

This tracker comes with a range of features, and uses a combination of GPS and WiFi to track your dog over an unlimited distance in real-time. You can share your dogs location with up to 3 friends or family members simultaneously, making it great for large families or to share with dog-walkers!

The tracker is shower-proof and will withstand a little downpour if you get caught in the rain, but be wary of this device if your dog likes to swim! It runs based on a subscription service which has to be purchased separately to the device itself, but at £30 for 5 years, it's not one to turn up your nose at!

This tracker relies on bluetooth technology to locate its whereabouts, and as such it can only provide accurate locations if it is within 120 meters. That being said, the free mobile app will update you with the most recently known location, so it's not hard to chase your dog down if they escape the 120 meter range!

This tracker also features 'find my phone' technology. Simply register your phone number on the Tile app while setting up and you can press a button on the tracker to make your phone ring even when it's on silent. It's never been easier for your pup to help you sniff out your lost phone!

Not necessarily built with pets in mind, but a useful tool nonetheless. This radio frequency tracker is great for use around the home. Simply, attach it to their collar and you can let them roam freely without worry. All you have to do is hit the buzzer on the control and then the noise should lead you to them. 

The range is 40m, which is ample for the average size home in the UK. However, we would not recommend this tracker for long wilderness walks, as it will not be capable of covering such long distances!

This gizmo works using GPS, Glonas, LBS, WiFi and Bluetooth, to let you reliably track your dog wherever you are. This tracker provides real-time positioning, so you'll always be able to pinpoint your pet's location. Additionally, you can utilise the virtual fencing to make sure they never stray too far.

It also offers an activity monitor to ensure your dog stays healthy, and a waterproof session so they can swim to their heart's content! Make sure to check additional prices, though, as this option does come with a subscription fee!
