Take Your Helicopter (Pet) Parenting to the Next Level With Tractive's Smart Cat Tracker

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.
