We’ve designed Pawfit to be very easy to use and continually work with our customers to keep improving their user experience. In fact, many of our latest features are ones suggested by the Pawfit community!
Our Pawfit trackers work so long as there is mobile phone signal in the area. All Pawfit trackers use GPS to track locations
and send location updates to the Pawfit App via the mobile phone network.
Pawfit 2 uses the 2g mobile network and works across Europe and parts of North America.
Pawfit 3 uses a branch of the 4g network and works across Europe and North America.
Pawfit has an unlimited range so long as there is network coverage. An internet connection on your mobile phone and an active network connection on your Pawfit tracker are required.
When a strong network signal is present, such as in an outdoor setting with your pet, Pawfit 3’s location accuracy is generally less than 9.7m. When the network signal is poor, such as an indoor, underground, or dense forest/wood setting, Pawfit 3 uses A-GPS to estimate the tracker’s location and the accuracy of that can range from a few feet to several miles.
As each Pawfit tracker has an embedded sim card inside, a subscription is required for your Pawfit tracker to be able to send GPS location updates via the mobile network. Your subscription will also give you access to Pawfit’s other great features like activity monitoring, virtual fences, Pawfit Voices and more!
Our Pawfit subscription prices are flexible and affordable to suit all budgets.

To attach to a collar/harness, place the collar/harness strap on top of the rubber base and then put the tracker attachment on top and hook it into the rubber base. The tracker then attaches to this base and can be easily removed to charge.
Pawfit Voice is a unique Pawfit feature which allows you to record up to 6 personal voice commands which can be played out of the speaker on the tracker. You can use these commands as an additional training and recall tool.

There are several differences between Pawfit 2 and the new Pawfit 3s, with the biggest
being the way they send and receive location updates. Pawfit 2 uses the 2g network and
Pawfit 3s uses the newer LTE-M network, which is faster, more accurate and uses less battery power.
For all the differences between Pawfit 2 and Pawfit 3s, check out the table below.

No, pet microchips do not contain GPS trackers. A microchip is a radio-frequency identification transponder that carries a unique identification number and is roughly the size of a grain of rice. A handheld scanner is used to read the radio frequency of the chip and reads the owners contact information contained within.
The short answer? No. GPS trackers are complicated devices that contain antennas, sim cards, and batteries that need recharging. Unfortunately, technology isn’t advanced enough yet to shrink a GPS tracker down small enough to be implanted into a dog or cat, but maybe one day! Until then, our Pawfit trackers are the perfect solution for tracking your pet.
Your dog can start wearing their Pawfit tracker from any age, but most will start wearing it once they are able to go for their first walks. The built-in activity tracker is an easy way to ensure your young puppy is getting the right amount of exercise each day and not overdoing it and risking potential long-term damage to their joints.
No problem! If you have multiple pets in your care, you can register up to 20 trackers to a single Pawfit account and easily track each one in the app.
