"We on the WIRED Reviews team often test (and love) smart rings. With these wearable health-monitoring devices, users can track important metrics like activity, health, and sleep, and the data is offloaded to your phone so you can easily review results without needing a cumbersome screen like you would with a smartwatch or fitness tracker. Within the ever-growing pet tech sphere I cover, many pet-related companies are integrating these health-monitoring features with trackers, popular for locating your pet whether you're near or far."
"A smart collar promises to bring all of the metrics that helicopter pet parents want-GPS-enabled location tracking, sleep and activity tracking, and alerts when activity or sleep patterns change. As I'm beginning my forthcoming guide to smart collars for pets, I first tested the Tractive Smart Cat Tracker (also called Tractive Cat Mini) for a month. Although the battery drains quickly when outside of the home zone,"
The Tractive Smart Cat Tracker (Tractive Cat Mini) is a low-cost GPS collar that monitors a cat’s location, sleep, and activity, provides virtual fencing, tracks trends, and issues alerts when activity or sleep patterns change. The device includes a charger, a black safety-release collar, and two clip options, and is available in three colors. Full functionality requires a paid subscription. The cat-specific model offers fewer health-tracking features than the dog version. Live GPS tracking outside the home Wi‑Fi zone significantly reduces battery life. The alert sound is very quiet. The tracker helps owners monitor pets’ day-to-day activities for early problem detection.
