Product Description

Tagg—The Pet Tracker by Snaptracs, Inc., is a purpose-built pet tracking device that uses advanced GPS and wireless technology to help you to find your pet at any time, giving you peace of mind. Don't let your pet become a statistic Five to seven million pets enter animal shelters each year, but less than 20% of those dogs and cats are reunited with their families, according to the APCA. Now, if your pet escapes, Tagg—The Pet Tracker will direct you to his location so you can bring him home. How it works The stylish, lightweight Tagg tracker secures to your pet's existing collar. Using the Tagg website, you designate a Tagg zone (geofence) around the area where your pet spends most of his time. If your pet escapes the Tagg zone, finding him is as simple as 1, 2, 3. Receive a text and email when your pet escapes. Pinpoint your pet's location quickly on a map. Then track and find your pet. Stay in touch with your pet with the Tagg app The free Tagg—The Pet Tracker app is a convenient way to stay in touch with your pet. Find him on a map, track his whereabouts, and get driving directions to his current location, right from your iPhone, or iPad. You can even find nearby places and services. Fits your dog's collar—and lifestyle Created for pets weighing more than 10 pounds, the Tagg system integrates innovative technology into a sleek and stylish tracker. The tracker is lightweight (1.16 oz./32.89 g) and engineered to withstand your pet's daily activities. Whether your pet is swimming or rolling around, the tracker remains as comfortable as it is tough. The tracker's contemporary design complements your pet's existing collar. Tagg Pet Family Plan for multiple pets If you'd like to monitor more than one pet with the Tagg service, you don't need to purchase a Tagg First Pet master kit for each one. Simply buy one First Pet master kit, and for additional pets visit tagg.com/addapet. Each Add-a-Pet tracker has a low monthly service charge.

"...The monthly monitoring fee is minimal compared to others and I don't mind in the least activating with a credit card that will kick in after the 3..." Read more

"...It cost me one Benjamin Franklin, but is well worth the cost. The monthly fee for a single animal is $7.95 a month...." Read more

247 customers mention124 positive123 negative

Customers are mixed about the performance of the location tracker. Some mention that it works well, while others say that it doesn't work well or consistently enough. The app does not do a great job of updating locations, and the collar does not work with cats.

"...I want something small and light, and work with iPhone app. Nothing on the market comes close to what I was looking, until I found Tagg...." Read more

"...initializing the activation it takes about 2 hours to find out that it failed. Trying multiple times takes all day!..." Read more

"...Collar still working fine. Battery life is nowhere near what is suggested, but is still absolutely acceptable to me...." Read more

"...15. The accuracy of the units is not sufficient to locate them when detached from your pet.16...." Read more

183 customers mention91 positive92 negative

Customers are mixed about the tracking of the pet tracker. Some like the activity tracking, saying it monitors pet activity levels and the daily activity meter is an interesting feature. However, others say that it's not quite real-time tracking, and the device gets lost or stops being tracked after a month.

"...The activity tracking is a fun feature. It gives me an idea of how lazy my dogs are during the day when I am not home. They all work very well...." Read more

"...14. There is no API to access location data and the official apps are extremely limited.15...." Read more

"...I can live with the 5 - 7 days I currently get and it is a great piece of mind tool not to mention useful on a daily basis for me by knowing when..." Read more

"...One time, the tracking device got lost while Simba was running in the woods. I was able to track down and find the device very easily...." Read more

152 customers mention47 positive105 negative

Customers are mixed about the battery life of the location tracker. Some mention that it's great, while others say that it constantly dies or tells them the dog is out of home base. The unit has a power saving mode, so when the dog stays within the Home Base, the battery does not drain. That said, some say that the battery only stays charged for a few days and that they are not always getting a low battery alert.

"...Due to the short battery life and long charge time the only way I can see using Tagg would be to have two units and swap them out daily...." Read more

"...(utilizing the GPS and even cell transmitter) and starts sucking battery juice much faster...." Read more

"...but it is also probably the reason why it can have such a long battery life on such a small device...." Read more

"...like I do when we go to the dog park or go hiking, then the battery life is much less. I usually have to recharge mine about once a week...." Read more

105 customers mention56 positive49 negative

Customers are mixed about the accuracy of the location tracker. Some mention that it's easy to locate their dogs most of the time, with the GPS accuracy pretty accurate within 15 feet. However, others say that the alerts had some inaccurate addresses and gave off false notifications.

"...I tested it all weekend on my dog. The GPS accuracy is great. I have Siberian Huskies. The size of the tracker is no big deal to them...." Read more

"...3. The unit only provides location data when a locate request is made, you can not use it track where your pet is going or where he has been.4...." Read more

"...Surprisingly accurate. If you do actually lose your pet this will tell where they are within 25' or so.-..." Read more

"...The system is all about the CURRENT location with very little historical track info available...." Read more

84 customers mention54 positive30 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the location tracker. Some mention it's well designed, simple to use, and incredibly easy to setup. They also say downloading and running the iPhone app was also extremely simple. However, other customers say the process is cumbersome, slow, and confusing. They mention that the operation is a bit clunky and frustrating.

"...The tracker works well and the app is simple and easy to use...." Read more

"...CONS:Frustrating to get unit activated if it doesn't initially work.Would be nice to have a smaller zone...." Read more

"...Easy set up. The small monthly fee is worth it to me, and it does come with 3 months monitoring included...." Read more

"...the TAGG I know which direction to start looking and the Android app is easy to use and accurate...." Read more

80 customers mention45 positive35 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the location tracker. Some mention that it is absolutely worth the peace of mind, and gives them the reassurance that if their pet wanders off, they have it. However, others say that it was faulty and not reliable.

"...the "safe" area gives long battery life and makes this a practical safety device...." Read more

"...Pet Tracker there isn't a problem then Pet Tracker knows the unit is defective...." Read more

"...I choose this rating because this product has changed my life for the better. I love my cats like my children...." Read more

"...The Tagg Zone option is also inconvenient. It can only be set up as a circle...." Read more

72 customers mention19 positive53 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the location tracker. They mention that the unit is a bit large for a cat, the zone is too large, and the boundary settings are too big. Some say that the tracker is very large around their pet's neck and that the home area range is not adjustable.

"...This trackers GPS area is not small enough for most household yards...." Read more

"...The only thing I'm not crazy about, is that the Home Zone is so large (even if you use the smallest possible diameter circle) , you can't pinpoint..." Read more

"...Good size. Small and sleek.Technical support is readily available and hold times are terribly long...." Read more

"...They're too small and too catty! My second complaint actually stems from when we quit using it because of the lesions...." Read more

Works questionably fine, until it does not. Otherwise expensive, EXTREMELY poor craftsmanship

Works questionably fine, until it does not. Otherwise expensive, EXTREMELY poor craftsmanship
Seems either I am unlucky, or the other reviewers have not gotten to my stage yet. I've not checked if there are any alternatives released in the two years since I purchased this, if there are, GO FOR THE ALTERNATIVE!If your pet never leaves the home, and you have no alternatives. This tagg system *may* work for you.. However if you go on walks daily, or have other pets who like to rough-house with each other (the tracker comes off quite easily when they wrestle, I find myself in the backyard searching for the tagg tracker all to often)... I'd really be uncomfortable recommending this system...-- Summary --I've had very mixed experiences with this tracker. It works questionably fine (service goes out sometimes, infrequently the base will stop tracking, but its rare. Tagg tracker, LOVES TO break at the hinges, *pictures included*), while it works.-- Tagg Tracker Constantly breaking --Both the tagg device itself and the base are made in china. Nothing against the country, but it's not renowned for quality production. Let me also state that I've gone out of my way to take very good care of this Tagg system (still continues to break), Third, let me also point out that the Tagg website states that the Tagg is - and I quote "Durable: Created to keep up with your playful pet, Tagg is ruggedized and ready to go wherever your pet goes." Heh.First tracker, just decided to stop being tracked after a month, Tagg's dev team was baffled and just ended up sending a replacement.Second tagg tracker's battery gave out (I was yelled at for leaving the tracker on while walking my pet (Siberian Husky who needs walked, several miles a day), I was then told to take it off before every walk. Furthermore apparently their activity tracking feature is meant only for tracking activity inside your home...What?Third tagg tracker broke at the hinges, apparently from taking it on and off too much (what I was told to do, equated to twice a day).Forth tagg tracker (refurbished) arrives with stress fractures over every single screw... No idea how long this will last.Replacing the tagg trackers is not so bad because they keep breaking so frequently that it's before the warranty expires so they send a refurbished replacement and the warranty gets extended but still...-- Tagg tracker likes to come loose --If the tagg tracker ever comes loose and falls off within the tagg zone (as it's done for me, many times in my backyard), you are SOL as the system will not track the tracker while its inside the zone. Best you can do is wait for night, hit the page button on the base (which causes the trackers light to flash), and hope it fell down face up, or you'll have to start a grid search for the tracker...-- Tagg base --Tracker base 'acted' broken recently . I switched the wall-outlet the base was plugged into and the device then refused to turn on (checked many outlets afterwards, still did not turn on). I called support, the first tech I spoke to immediately said it was a lost cause, and that sitting on a counter in the kitchen for the last 2 years constitutes as wear and tear and not covered by warranty. So I'd have to pay for a new tagg base and transferred me over to sales' waiting line. After an hour on hold, I hung up and called again, speaking to a new tech, who walked me through a reboot procedure (put the tagg tracker, into the base, hold down the tagg's button for ten seconds and release) which immediately fixed the issue...? -- Slow to add needed features -- They finally (after nearly two years) added a trip feature for walks (suspends notifications for a mere 15 minutes while the pet is outside the zone (thats quite a short walk...)). Were as previously, I'd get a notification for either my pet leaving the zone, or a notification for removing the tracker from my pet (as per instructions) when I took him on his walk, twice a day. You cannot disable said notifications as they are the same notifications that you get if your pet were to actually get loose...-- Expensive --Theres also a hidden membership fee of nearly $100 a year.-- In Summary / Bottom line / TLDR --Look for alternatives, otherwise PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
