Anyone have a FI dog collar?

[Autism Family Travels]

I was looking at getting one of these GPS collars for our amazing husky. Since they are escape artists and every day on our local husky facebook page 2 or 3 go missing. One was found on an ocean beach yesterday dead after being caught on the Ocean iceflow. I think this would be a great resource to have, your dog goes missing you can track them via gps/lte.

Problem with airtags they need to be near an apple device in order for them to send a signal to you. No good in the woods, or areas where no one has anything apple. FI collars are a true gps transmitter. I thought about a tile on Mekia's collar as well before and same thing, they need to be in an area that someone is has the tile app on their phone.

I've been wondering about these as well. I head they are good but they also kinda look like they have to go on specific collars. The air tag idea is good too, but I'm not sure how delicate they are. My 7 month old German Shepherd is somehow super hard on tags. She has gone through 3 key rings now and tears them off with ease. Also I don't see a place to mount the air tag to a collar. Id really like to get something to track the dog as well as I'm somewhat scared of her running away when off leash. If y'all have any advise for off leash training id appreciate it as well.

They are for their own collars. It's a complete unit. Collar, tracker etc.

I couldn't me more happy with my Tractive GPS collars - I have two-2yr old Black Mouth Curs which love to run. The app is as simple as they come, the night time strobe light really makes it easy to see the two rug rats running down the hill side.
If I didn't go with Tractive, I would have picked TKStar which I run their GPS units in my rigs.

With the app you can trace their activity, set up a virtual fence - attaching a pic of the history feature.

The GPS collars are well worth it, now for the Tractive Collars I paid $50 bucks with a premium 1 year subscription of $99.00 per pup.

Does the owner's cellphone need to have a cellular signal in order to track the collar? If not, how is the location transmitted back to the owner?

Yes, they all need cell service. Garmin should make one to communicate with inreach.

You would need your cell, or wifi to access the app. Without that your pups would be out of luck. I use the Wifi Service offered by Sprint / Mopar, and I really don't see myself going that far off the grid.

Gotta have this collar for my poodle who is also an escape artist when I'm sleeping!
