When your dog starts spending more and more time indoors, it's natural to wonder what he's up to. After all, dogs like to roam around and play outside. But, with today's busy lifestyles, it's not always easy to spend enough time with your dog. Thankfully, dog-tracking devices let you keep tabs on your pup, even when you can't be there to watch him.

Time trackers for pet dogs record when your dog is outside, when he arrives home, and how long he stays outside. Some devices also let you track his activity levels and activity duration, so you can know if he's getting his exercise.

The MOOZ Themes Reviews Lab has been testing pet trackers for years, evaluating performance and ease of use. We look at ease of setup, ease of operation, and ease of use, including whether the device is easy to navigate, and whether it tracks activities accurately. We also look at performance, including how many miles a dog can track, how long it takes to recharge, and how many hours of tracking a dog's activity it can track before the battery dies. Here are the best dog-tracking devices of 2022:

The PETFON Pet GPS Tracker is a fun, affordable device that's easy to set up and use. It's small, durable, and waterproof, and it even has anti-lost radar detection to help you find your pet more quickly. The GPS tracker has a range of up to 65 miles, but it's affected by your surroundings, so it's best used indoors or in more rural areas. The battery life is good, and it's easy to recharge the device. The GPS tracker also has a unique anti-lost radar feature that can help you locate your pet. Unfortunately, the GPS tracker's anti-lost radar feature only works outdoors, and it's only available if the GPS tracker is in Bluetooth range. If you don't have Bluetooth enabled on your phone, the anti-lost feature won't work, and you'll need to use the GPS tracker's locator feature. The GPS tracker is easy to set up and use, and it's compatible with a variety of devices. The GPS tracker's app is very straightforward, and it's easy to navigate. The GPS tracker works best with Android phones, but it's compatible with iOS 10 devices.

LONG STANDBY BATTERY and RAINPROOF: The rainproof feature enables it to work in wet weather but do not working for swimming. Petfon GPS Tracker's battery can last up to 8-16 hours and comes with a compact charging station. It can recharge the device multiple times, which is perfect for going off the grid.

This tracker is a great option for tracking dogs, cats, and other pets. It has a lot of features, including GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth, while the battery life is one of the longest we've seen in a pet tracking device. The rechargeable lithium battery lasts for about two to three months, depending on usage, and the device itself, which includes GPS, lasts about two to three years before needing a recharge. The PetFon GPS tracker uses two forms of GPS, including GPS and GLONASS. The GPS signal, which we got up to about 60 miles (100 kilometers) away, was consistently accurate. The GPS signal is also quite stable, so you won't have to worry about signal interruptions. The PetFon GPS tracker has the added advantage of using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, both of which allow you to track your pet from your phone. The GPS tracking app, which is available for both Android and iOS, is simple to use, and the app has a number of features, including the ability to view the pet's last location, set safe zones, and receive real-time alerts. The PetFon GPS tracker also has a built-in microphone, so you'll be able to record voice messages and send them to your pet. The PetFon GPS tracker also has a built-in 100mAh lithium battery, so recharging the device isn't necessary. We particularly liked that the PetFon GPS tracker comes with a 3-month money-back guarantee.

The Petfon GPS Tracker is an affordable GPS device that can be used to track your pet's location. The GPS function works as advertised, though it's admittedly slower than other devices we've tested. The Petfon GPS Tracker can also track your dog's activity, which is useful primarily for dog owners who want to track how much exercise their pet is getting. The GPS tracker is waterproof, so it's suitable for use outdoors. The battery life is good and the device is small and compact, so it's easy to hide. The GPS tracker is easy to operate, and the app is well designed and easy to use, though it can be a little confusing at first. The GPS tracker is easy to set up, but you'll need to download a Petfoni app (free for iOS, $4.95 for Andriod) to connect your GPS tracker to your phone. This app can also locate your pet's location on a map, set alerts, and control a variety of functions, including geofencing, custom voice messages, activity tracking, and accessing saved photos. The GPS tracker is easy to set up and use, but it's a little too expensive for pet owners with modest needs.

FitBark GPS Dog Tracker | Health & Location Pet Tracking Smart Collar Device | Small (17 g) & Waterproof | 4G LTE-M Real-Time US Verizon Coverage Nationwide | iPhone & Android Apps

FitBark GPS Dog Tracker

by FitBark

COMFORT. Lightweight (17 g). Fits 5 lb and 240 lb dogs and most collars up to 1.5 wide. Tough, rugged & waterproof. Battery typically lasts 10-20 days depending on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & Verizon availability. Software experience not optimized for cats.

The FitBark GPS Dog Tracker was a tremendous upgrade from our former pick, the Petnet Smart Pet Tracker, thanks to a number of improvements. The tracker was smaller and easier to strap on to my dog's neck, and it was water-resistant, so my dog could wear it out in the rain. It's also more rugged, which is important because dogs are always playing. The FitBark also tracks distance, speed, calories burned, and sleep quality, and it's compatible with Fitbits, Apple Watches, and Android phones, so you can share the data with other dog owners. The FitBark 2.0 app is user-friendly and straightforward, and it comes with several useful training features, like the ability to remotely activate a doggy door, or to remotely scare a dog into a crate. The tracker also come with a collar clip, so you can clip it onto your dog's collar, or attach it to a leash. The app also keeps track of your dog's daily activities, so you can view them in the app, and you can set goals for your dog and view their progress over time. The FitBark GPS Dog Tracker is pricier than the Petnet Smart Pet Tracker, but it's well worth it.
