Great content and useful info. My friend has a blind dog & she was camping & her dog wandered off. She was freaking out. I'll send a shared video of this to her. Thx u!

[@Wahfulls88]

I had an AirTag attached to my cat and he got out the other day, he was gone for 2 days and the AirTag was worthless It was displaying that my cat was home so I pinged the AirTag to try and pinpoint where and it literally would not connect. When we finally found our cat I took his collar off with the air tag and tried to ping it while it was right next to my phone and again it just would not connect, terrible product.

[@ToobieBits]

I completely agree! I bought an AirTag specifically for my cat and I find it to be absolutely worthless.

[@theo4643]

@@ToobieBits yeah it's not made to be used for cats so it's better to use what's specifically made for cats even tho it costs more it's worth it

My cat’s been getting out, lately. Shes even come up with ways to sneak out when people enter/exit the house. I feel fortunate to have found her the few times she’s gotten out, but she’s gotten way more bold, lately. I had to wear her out and catch her to get her back. So, I’ve gotten her implant and am thinking of going the AirTag & Tractive route to make sure I can find her when it’s time to come back in.
In Phoenix, it’s just too hot to leave em out. Plus, there’s a lot of wildlife in the desert that can pick her off. So, I’m hoping that it being a big city, the AirTag might be the best choice w/ the Tractive

Air tags haven’t worked for me with my cat.
It just doesn’t show where he’s going unless he’s close to me.
I’m looking into a more robust option. Thanks for this video. It’s really helpful to contrast your experiences with these products. ❤

We Have Used Tractive for about a year now for our ever-wandering cat. It works well about half the time. The other half of the time- the app does not update- and you have no idea why. This is an everyday thing. Works sometime- doesn't work other times. And if you want a human being to speak to- forget about it. Terrible customer service- non- existent really. I Cannot recommend this product, and am currently looking for a replacement.

[@msantello1]

Very informative, thanks so much!

[@karenedwards3721]

What distances are you talking? 50 , 20 100 feet?

[@karriqueen]

Thank you so much for this video!! This year my cat is 3 years old. And now that summer has come he has started to be out for a looooooong time. The longest was 11-12 days. When he came home he weren't even that hungry. Wondering if someone has started to feed him and take him in or if he hunts enough himself. I get worried sick. And if someone is taking him in i would like to know and tell them not to do that. Not sure to choose the second or the third one though. The short battery life isn't gonna help me when he's out for a week or more. Wonder if I should get the third one first to get a gadge on where he tends to go, found out if he's in someone's home. Then get the tabcat so I can actually find him after a long time being out. This video was so helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤

[@dailyquotedairy1]

Very good info 👍👍👍

[@youneetee1733]

Hey! Great video thanks so much for the info. I was planning on getting the tractive mini as it's a little more budget friendly, but after hearing your experience I might go for the tabcat. Do you think tabcat would be a better fit for an indoor cat who I am concerned may get out as i'm moving in with roomates? Also wondering if your cats seemed to experience any discomfort with the tractive's larger size? Thanks!

[@Lunellen]

Thanks for this great info. We're moving to a new state and are concerned about our 3 cats. Also, I hope this doesn't offend you but I noticed that your neck looks like mine did when I was diagnosed with Graves disease. I'm sure you've probably had it checked out by a physician but if not you might want to have someone test your T3, T4 and TSH levels. Just trying to be helpful. Take care.

[@freelyroaming]

@@Lunellen thanks for the concern. We always check for that during our annual physicals and blood tests and what you are seeing isn't abnormal.

[@PRBB25]

What’s the range on the radio tracker?

[@tarvos_trigaranvs]

It's about 150meters for tabcat and 30 for airtag

[@thomasvrable9174]

I will be moving to Japan soon with my wife and cat. We want to put a tracker on our cat since for a portion of the trip he will have to be in cargo. Which tracker would you recommend in this situation?

[@ImFunny99]

صراحه بداية المقطع كويسه بس ما تطرق ل airtag بشكل كويس

[@Slamjobcrash]

Thank you! That was helpful!

[@fat_basturd5345]

I tried air tags on my dog, I threw it away.

[@Cookie.x.monsterr]

Did you ever find it 😅
