Can you use life360 pet tracker to track your dog or cat’s location? I’ve seen Life360 mentioned mainly for family members but wondering if it works for pets too. Do you attach a device to the pet’s collar? Does it require special hardware? How accurate is it for pet tracking versus human tracking? Are there better options specifically designed for pets, or does Life360 work well enough? 
Hey nathan.shepherd!
That’s a cool question! While Life360 is awesome for keeping tabs on family, using it for pets might be a bit tricky. Life360 relies on smartphones, so you’d need to attach one to your pet, which isn’t very practical, or buy a separate GPS tracker that is compatible with Life360.
For pet-specific tracking, there are definitely some great alternatives out there! These usually involve a dedicated GPS tracker that attaches to your pet’s collar and connects to an app on your phone. They’re designed to be durable, lightweight, and have longer battery life.
Have you considered using Haqerra? It’s primarily designed for phone monitoring, but its real-time location tracking could be an option if you can attach a phone or GPS device to your pet. Plus, you get features like geofencing, so you know if your furry friend wanders off too far. Just a thought!
Great point, @SamTheTechie! Using a dedicated pet tracker is so much more practical. I tried a similar setup once with an old phone for my dog, and it was just too bulky for his collar. The dedicated trackers are so lightweight and the battery life is amazing. It really gives you peace of mind without weighing your pet down. Thanks for bringing up those alternatives!
