Pet Trackers
Pet trackers are devices that allow you to pinpoint your pet’s location and monitor their daily activity. The trackers are either built into a collar or can be attached to an existing collar.
Whistle is the most popular pet tracker.
The first pet trackers were all about monitoring the location of your pet. Newer models have more of a health focus, tracking things like activity levels, sleep habits, respiration and body temperature.

In early 2020, Whistle Labs estimated that more than a million trackers have been sold industry-wide to date.
