The Fi collar has been a total game changer for us. If our dogs ever gets spooked or slips out, especially living in a rural area, it gives me instant peace of mind knowing I can track them in real time. It’s like a safety net I never knew I needed. I also love the step tracking feature. It keeps me motivated to get out with them and makes sure they are staying active and healthy. Honestly, I woul Melissa · chewy.com
