Family safety app Life360 is getting into pet tech with the launch of its new tracker, Pet GPS. Designed to be attached to a collar or leash, this new device aims to give pet owners peace of mind by providing real-time location updates for their dogs and cats.
The launch of Pet GPS seems like a natural progression for Life360, especially after acquiring tracker company Tile in 2021. Since then, the company has incorporated Tile’s item-finding capabilities into its app, including the ability to assign a tile tracker to your pet.
Retailing at $49.99, Life360’s Pet GPS is the most expensive offering in its range. However, it comes with a number of features that pet owners may find worthwhile.
Key features include geofencing (virtual boundary alerts), escape alerts and access to a pet finder network. Pet owners can set up safe zones and if a pet escapes, an escape alert will be triggered.
Users can also alert the nearby community about a lost pet. When issuing a lost pet alert, the app shares important information with nearby members, such as the pet’s picture and name, breed, and emergency contact information.
Life360 says its network includes over 88 million members, providing users with an important community to help them locate their lost pet.
The pet tracker combines cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to provide the most accurate location, updating every 2 to 4 seconds when the pet is away from home.

Other useful features include a built-in light, which can be activated via the app to help you find a pet in the dark. The device also has a chime noise function, allowing owners to call their pets when needed – like when they’re taking too long to relieve themselves in the yard or hiding under the sofa.
With an IP68 rating, Life360 says the device is resistant to water, dust and pet bites.
The device includes a charger with a battery life that lasts up to 14 days. There’s also a “Bluetooth Tethering Mode,” which extends battery life to keep the pet tracked for up to six months.
The Life360 Pet GPS comes in three colors: pink, navy and black. It is available for purchase in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand at Life360.com. To access all features, users need a Gold ($14.99/month) or Platinum ($24.99/month) subscription.
