Tractive LED Light Up Dog Collar USB Rechargeable Waterproof (Blue)

The media could not be loaded. I bought four of these light up collar/tractive Trackers for our four dogs. We have an old black lab, who got the Large red collar, and is normally impossible to find in the darkness, a Large pink one for our Amstaff, a Large green for our husky/lab mix, and a Medium blue for our boxer as they were out of the large blue at the time of purchase. They honestly all could have had a medium. The only difference between the medium and large are the lengths of the collar, and we had to tighten all of them to fit. The Trackers are all the same size and have an area on the collar where they can attach to (though we have them on their everyday collar rather than these which are their nighttime collars). There are three light settings, one solid and two different speed of blinking. Due to my epilepsy, both of the the blinking settings are too harsh so we leave them on solid colors. But they are BRIGHT, like we can practically make out the whole dog's figure by the light of the collar alone. I have attached three photos (one in our muddy mud room with lights on, one outside under night settings and one outside without any special photo settings) as well as a plain video with no settings while our dogs played. The dogs are clearly located in the darkness with these collars, even our old man who likes to go find the darkest corner of the yard to lay down in. And I like that the four colors are distinctive enough to see the four colors individually.I haven't been able to test the Trackers yet as the cost for the subscription is pretty high, especially for four dogs but have had good reviews from family and friends so im sure they will be great as well once we get the funds to activate those.

I really need to take the blame for the fact that the lightup feature broke.The adjustability is somewhat limited on this collar. I tried to make it smaller so it would fit the puppy and I did something that damaged it and the unit will not light up anymore.Lesson learned.While it was working it did an amazing job of letting us know when the german shepherd is underfoot in the dark. It probably saved my neck a couple of times while I avoided tripping on him.You know what that means?This product SAVED MY LIFE! It kept me from breaking my neck!How sad that I broke the lightup feature.Guess I'll have to get another one!

Not impressed

This was said to be a Tractive product, good news, I confirmed this with the product page and it is branded/boxed appearing to all be authentic.The bad... The product ships in two stages/billings which was undisclosed and alarming without notice. I got the tracker in a day, the app is beautiful and features appear robust.There was no monthly option for subscription as implied, they in fact will only allow yearly payment subscriptions.More bad. The collar showed up with more china parts than a weather balloon, I simply cannot recommend this. The buckle is thin brittle feeling plastic and the light while bright does not appear to project in horizontal angles very well, you need to be facing the strip head on for good illumination.Last, this collar showed up (L) which claimed a range of up to 22.7" the collar is barely 21.5. I reached out to Amazon for support and was told to contact the MFC I reached out to Tractive and they refused to provide support for a product not sold on their website.China number none.

Not strong enough. Broke after just a few weeks of use. Very disappointed.

Works great, you can see my cat a mile away. She is a Russian Blue and like to be in the street for some reason. This is light weight enough for her.

I bought three of these. I'm on my third one so what I did as the dog got bigger I just bought another collar. Charge it really bright at night when I let the dog out the back I could see her
