Keeping track of your dog in a large backyard or when you’re on a camping trip can be nerve-wracking, especially if they have a habit of wandering off. To ensure you always keep tabs on your pup’s whereabouts, consider investing in a dog GPS tracker. Oftentimes in the form of a collar or an easy attachment, these gadgets enable you to find your dog’s location quickly via an app on your phone to bring them back home.
The pet experts and tech analysts at the Good Housekeeping Institute test pet essentials from pet cameras to dog leashes, dog beds and much more. When choosing the best dog GPS trackers, we researched the most popular models on the market and evaluated more than half a dozen picks. We reviewed each tracker for features such as ease of use, accuracy, fit, battery life and app intuitiveness. To help you decide whether a dog GPS collar is right for you, we also interviewed Megan Conrad, M.B.B.S., a veterinarian at Hello Ralphie and associate vet at WellHaven Pet Health.
Below, you’ll find the best dog GPS trackers to help you keep an eye on your dog's whereabouts.
