Question: Can you recommend a device that tracks my dog's location and activity in real-time?

If you want a device that'll let you track your dog's location and activity in real time, Whistle is a good option. Whistle sells a variety of GPS pet trackers and activity monitors that'll keep you up to date on your dog's location and activity. The devices track daily activity, monitor health trends and provide location updates through Find My Pet Mode and Escape Alerts. Prices start at $69, but you'll need a subscription for full access to the features.

Another option is Petcube, which pairs GPS tracking with pet cameras and virtual fences. Petcube's system offers real-time location updates, escape alerts and 24/7 vet access. The devices can trigger motion and sound alerts, have night vision and work with Amazon Alexa. The system requires a subscription starting at $5/month for GPS tracking, but it offers a lot of pet care and monitoring abilities.

If you want a more general-purpose tracking system, Invoxia offers a variety of GPS trackers that can track your pet, but also other things you might want to keep tabs on. Its Minitailz model is designed specifically for dogs, offering GPS and health tracking and AI-based activity analysis. That can help you keep tabs on your dog's health and activity levels, too, in addition to its location. The subscription plans start at €2.09 per month, and the trackers are relatively affordable.

And while it doesn't track location, Dosty offers an all-purpose pet care app that can help you with daily chores and offer expert advice for health and behavioral problems. It's not a location tracker, but its suite of tools to manage your pet's health and behavior can be useful in conjunction with a GPS tracker.
