“Utterly useless without the piece that attaches it to the dogs collar. Had to order extras since the original one got lost, but after paying a whopping $50 for a few tiny pieces of plastic it seems the company has simply pocketed this money. Pieces haven't shipped. No response from customer support. Been 2 months and still no update on tracking for the new pieces. GPS unit is now useless.” — Jordan Lacroix · Google Customer Reviews

“The battery life on this is great. Alerts usually within 2 miles of her safe zone. Which only happens when she's in the truck. Easy to charge on the go if need be, by not needing a charging base, just a micro USB cord. Very accurate in location. Like to test it and it's pretty quick to find her.” — James T. · whistle.com
