Life360’s New Pet GPS Tracker Is Making Sure No Dog or Cat Gets Left Behind

If you’ve ever frantically shaken a bag of treats while calling your dog’s name into the night, you know that sinking feeling of a missing pet. Life360 — the family safety app that’s already tracking your kids and keys — just announced it’s venturing into pet tech with its new Pet GPS tracker, and it’s giving pet parents serious peace of mind.

Retailing at $49.99, the Pet GPS is a small but mighty device that clips onto your pet’s collar or harness, updating their real-time location every few seconds. The company, which bought Tile back in 2021, is leveraging its network of more than 88 million users to help owners locate lost pets faster than ever. If your furry friend bolts after a squirrel, you can set up “safe zones” that trigger an instant escape alert, plus ping nearby users with a photo and contact info.

It’s also surprisingly durable. The tracker is water-resistant, dustproof, and even bite-proof, because we all know dogs don’t always respect tech. It packs a built-in light and sound chime, perfect for calling them in from the yard or spotting them in the dark. Battery life can stretch to two weeks — or an impressive six months in Bluetooth Reserve Mode — which is ideal for forgetful humans who don’t want to add “charge the dog’s collar” to their weekly checklist.

This isn’t just about convenience — it’s a reminder that the animals we share our homes with are part of a fragile planet. When we invest in keeping them safe and reduce the number of strays or lost pets, we also reduce stress on local wildlife and shelters.

According to TechCrunch, the device is available now in multiple countries, including the U.S. and U.K. So whether you’re raising rescues, fostering future best friends, or just trying to keep track of your indoor escape artist, this little gadget might be your new favorite tool.

Protect the animals, cherish your pets, and consider small, plant-based choices that make life safer for every species — including ours.
