0:05 G'day, I'm Dr Duncan Houston and this is my fake living room.
0:12 Look, what I've got at the moment is the Ask A Vet GPS Tracker. This is my pride and joy along with the app, obviously the app is my pride and joy as well. These are what links to the app. I do have the ID tags as well but anyway, these are the GPS trackers and it's not just GPS, they do have much, much more.
0:30 It's in white or black, very simple, very basic colours but are timeless. So I do have a little gold strip that goes down the middle of them because I think it looks nice and I've just made them as a basic rectangle, you know, they kind of fit on everything.
0:44 This is 68 grams, I don't know what that is in ounces, sorry America. These are 68 grams, they're very light. I would use these on animals above 4 kilos or 10 pounds. That would be the minimum that I would put these on.
0:57 These are IP67 waterproof so they can go down to 1 metre for 30 minutes. It's not like they're going to be doing that, it's more splash resistance that I'm looking for because obviously if you have a dog, not really a cat, but if you have a dog that's going to run around and play and swim and things, it needs to be some level of waterproofness.
1:15 These also have an external temperature monitor on them, it's hot outside, you're going to get warnings on your phone, it will also have the warning on the screen here.
1:23 So that's the next thing, why did I put a screen on this? Look, I'm trying to make this just like your smart watch. I prefer to have the screen for the animal because your animal might go with someone else. Your smart watch won't, your smart watch will stick with you so you have that choice.
1:37 But if I give, you know, if I'm letting my dogs go out for a walk with another family member, friends, you know, anybody, like they don't have the app or they may not have the app, you can have family sharing, but they may not have the app and they won't get the warnings.
1:50 So if your dog goes out and it's too hot for them, you set like a limit at 30 degrees Celsius for when they go out, this is going to give a warning to whoever's walking the dog, it'll buzz and vibrate and then it says too hot for walking, you know, it's above 30 degrees, like be careful, go in the shade, make sure there's water, things like that, that's what you're meant to do. It will just warn you to say that the temperature's too hot.
2:12 You also get other warnings on this for like when medications are due, so if you've got your app that, you know, you've set multiple different health things on. I've got 20 different things. I'm probably going to add some more. So, you know, seizure activity, blood glucose, you know, vomiting, diarrhoea, things like that, you can track, but this will give you like warnings for like when medications are due.
2:31 So say that your animal, you know, is diabetic, but they're staying with your parents and you forgot to tell them that, you know, what time the medications are due and how much, obviously it probably won't be like it doesn't tell you how much, but then mum and dad will know to contact you. Hey, it says that the insulin is due for Jeffrey at the moment. And then they'll be like, Oh, I'll message them. Oh. Sorry. I forgot to tell you Jeffrey's insulin is four units. He needs it, you know, at 8 PM. Okay, cool.
2:57 But that's kind of the reason why I made these things is because your pet kind of needs a voice for themselves. These are here to make sure that your animal has a voice for their medical needs as well. And that's why I've put the screen on here.
3:09 You can also see the up-to-date details. So you can see their calories, step count, you know, GPS, how far they've tracked, sleeping. This has motion sensor in there as well as like, obviously everybody's saying at the moment, it works with AI. I do work with AI to be able to track all your dog and cat's things.
3:24 And then the vet can see them. When you talk to a vet, they can log in and see your pet's details when you have one of these. So if you need to talk to a vet, like Ask A Vet, you can use one of these trackers and then you can also log all their data, so medications and things, and then the vet that's on the other side of the screen, they can see everything and then talk to you properly about what's going on and see the history and go through it in depth.
3:46 You don't have to tell me stuff. I can see the data there as well as your pet's history. You know, what's going through. I can see it all so that I know when I talk to you. You don't have to run me through everything, which a lot of the time people forget stuff. So when you're going through things, you're like, Oh, I should have asked that, should have asked that question. You know, I didn't know about this. Whereas I can see all the data.
4:05 Safety. Look, this is also really good because they have LED lights on the top and the bottom and you get to choose the colour. That's right. It's not just a white LED light. That's real boring. You can be pink one night and then green the other, or you can have it change colours as your dog goes walk like a rainbow.
4:21 Now let's talk about battery life. Look, this can last like generally on normal average use two weeks. It can potentially last up to 30 days on low power mode and using it, you know, on and off. But if you're going to use it heaps, it will last like a few days up to seven days. That's how I use mine anyway.
4:39 It will work all around the world. There are some countries that won't be able to use this, unfortunately. On the website, it will say that that country, we can't sell to that country, or there will be a block and you won't be able to see this product in specific countries. That's just because of the network system, the mobile network system it uses. Unfortunately, not everybody in the world uses the same network system.
5:00 This is only a tiny tracker. It's only slightly bigger than my microphone. It is waterproof. It lasts about two weeks for battery life, has a touch screen so you can see all the vital information, has lights for safety.
5:12 It also has bark training in here and you'll also be able to train your dog with this. So look, if your dog barks when using this, it will vibrate or make a ping noise to try and deter them from barking if you want that feature on.
5:26 There is the other feature where it has like a geo-specific fence. So around your property, you can set up a fence on a GPS on a map and then when they get close to the perimeter, it will warn you when they are there or it will make a noise to deter them from going any further and try and get them to come back home.
5:42 We will have training features on this as well. So you'll be able to train your dog and play specific sounds with this. So it's right near their ear and they can hear it. So when you're training them, they can hear it straight away and then know what's going on rather than you standing there with clickers and things like that. You've got everything in your phone and in the device.
6:01 So I will teach you how to train your dog properly through the app, through the device so that everybody is happy and everybody knows what's going on.
6:09 Okay, that's the Ask A Vet GPS Tracker. I love this product.

How it works

Why the tracker earns its place on the collar

Live GPS that works where your dog actually goes

The tracker carries its own 4G connection.

Not tied to a passing phoneIt reports its position from the beach, the bush and three suburbs away, not just within Bluetooth range of a passing phone.
Live position and routeOpen the app and you see a live position and the route they took to get there.
Virtual fence alertsDraw a virtual fence around the yard, the park or grandma's place and you get an alert the moment they cross it, which is usually before you have noticed the gate is open.
What the Tracker Plan coversThe Tracker Plan that powers it works in most countries, on holiday too, and keeps a year of location history. Where the mobile network cannot support it, the store does not sell it.

A collar screen that talks to whoever finds them

Most trackers are useless to the person who actually finds your dog.

A touchscreen on the collarThis one has a touchscreen on the collar that shows a Lost Pet QR code and works with NFC.
Tap or scan with any phoneA stranger taps or scans with any phone and sees the profile you keep in the Ask A Vet app. No app for them to download.
What the finder seesYour number, a backup contact, medical notes, the fact that she is deaf or he is diabetic.
Your stats without your phoneThe same screen shows you the daily stats and alerts without reaching for your phone.

The health record you did not know you were keeping

Steps, distance, rest and sleep, logged every day against your dog's own baseline.

Bark and temperature alertsBark detection for the hours you are out and temperature alerts for the days you should not be.
A record, not a diagnosisNone of it is a diagnosis. What it is, is the answer to the question I ask every owner and almost none can answer: when did this start?
A warning before the limpThe dog that is doing 30 percent fewer steps than three weeks ago, or is up four times a night, has told you something before the limp or the vomit arrives.
Take the graph to a vetBring the graph to your vet, or chat to one in the app.

Fit guide

Will it fit my pet?

Three fit rules

One device for dogs and cats from about 4 kg. Below that the device is too much collar for the animal, and a cat under 4 kg should wear the battery-free Smart ID Tag on a breakaway collar instead.
It mounts on your own flat collar with the two silicone back straps in the box: screen facing out, snug enough that it does not swing, loose enough for two fingers under the collar.
Cats must wear it on a breakaway collar. Any animal wearing a device should have the skin under it checked once a week and the device taken off for grooming and for X-rays.

How to

How to set up the tracker

Charge it first
USB-C, cable in the box, to full before the first walk. The app will tell you when it needs charging from then on; most owners land on a charge about every two weeks, sooner with heavy live tracking.
Set up the profile
Download the Ask A Vet app, create your dog's profile with a photo, two phone numbers and any medical notes, then scan the QR code inside the box lid to pair the tracker.
Choose the Tracker Plan
Live GPS, the virtual fence and the health trends run on it. One tracker per plan; the Premium plan carries two and adds the vet chats. The Lost Pet ID on the screen is free.
Mount it on the collar
Thread your flat collar through the two silicone back straps, screen facing out, sitting to one side of the throat. Two fingers under the collar, and it should not swing when they shake.
Draw the fence, pick the colour
Set a safe zone around home before the first night, turn on escape alerts, and set the LED colour so you can find a black dog in a dark park. Then leave the tracker alone for a week so the activity baseline is your dog's normal, not the excitement of a new gadget.

Vet noteDr Duncan Houston, BVSc

A tracker tells you where your dog is. It does not stop them getting out, so fix the fence, the recall and the door routine as well. Activity, sleep and temperature data are context for a conversation with a vet, not a diagnosis, and a quiet dog with a normal step count can still be sick. Use the sound and vibration cues to mark and reward behaviour you want, never to startle or punish; if training goes backwards, stop using them. Cats wear it only on a breakaway collar. Take the device off for grooming, bathing with shampoo, and whenever a clinic asks, and check the skin under it weekly. Nothing on the collar replaces the microchip; keep both, and keep the chip registration current.

Dr Duncan Houston with Bridie and Kiko — Dr Duncan Houston, BVSc Emergency veterinarian and founder of WOOPF™ and Ask A Vet

Why I designed it

Every dog a stranger brings into my ER at 2 am has the same problem: no way home.

No tag, or a tag with a number that stopped working two house moves ago, or a microchip registered to a breeder in another state. The dog is fine. The owner is driving around in the dark. I wanted one thing on the collar that ends that night early.

Live, on your phoneIf they bolt, you see where they are, live, on your phone.
Before you have finished panickingIf a stranger finds them first, the screen on the collar shows a QR code and the finder is reading your details before you have finished panicking.
A graph instead of a feelingAnd on the ordinary days, which is most of them, it quietly counts steps, rest and sleep, so the week your old dog slows down shows up as a graph instead of a feeling.
Two honest linesIt needs charging, so the battery-free Smart ID Tag belongs on the same collar as the backup.
A monthly Tracker PlanAnd the live GPS runs on a monthly Tracker Plan, because a 4G connection in most of the world is not free and I would rather tell you that here than in the app.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.

Based on 11 Judge.me reviews

The GPS is great, it's given me so much peace of mind knowing I can pinpoint my dog if she tries to escape. It tells me when it needs charging, and it lasts so much longer than other trackers I've had in the past. Also loving the safe zone so I know if she leaves our yard.

Part of the Ask A Vet ecosystem

The tracker is the sensor. The app is the vet.

WOOPF™ is the dog product arm of Ask A Vet, Dr Duncan Houston's animal health platform. The tracker feeds live location, activity, sleep and alerts into your dog's profile, next to the medications you keep there. With family sharing, a family member you give the location permission to sees the tracker in their own Ask A Vet app. On the Premium plan, a certified vet chats with you twice a month.

Shipping and delivery details How returns work

Do I need a subscription?

For the live GPS, yes. The device is paid for once; live location, the virtual fence, activity and sleep monitoring, coverage in most countries and a year of location history run on the Tracker Plan, billed monthly in the Ask A Vet app, one tracker per plan. The pet profile, the Lost Pet ID on the screen and the app itself are free. The Premium plan includes two tracker plans, unlimited AI vet chat and two certified vet chats a month; the Tracker Plan on its own does not include the vet chats.

How does it find my dog?

It has its own 4G connection and a GPS receiver, so it sends its position to the app from wherever it is, not just within range of your phone. You see a live dot and the route, and you can set virtual fences that alert you when they leave. Accuracy depends on signal and surroundings: open ground is close to exact, dense city streets and indoors widen the circle. A Bluetooth item tag only reports when a stranger's phone from the same network happens to pass, which on a beach at dawn is nobody.

Will it suit a cat or a small dog?

From about 4 kg, so most adult cats and every dog bigger than a Chihuahua. Cats wear it only on a breakaway collar. Below 4 kg, or for a cat that will not tolerate a collar device, the battery-free Smart ID Tag is the right product.

How long does the battery last?

About two weeks on normal use. Up to 30 days with light use and the automatic power-saving when they are home on your WiFi; a few days to a week with heavy live tracking, a lot of LED and a weak signal. It charges by USB-C with the cable in the box and the app warns you before it runs flat. If it does go flat, the Smart ID Tag on the same collar is still readable, which is why I run both.

Is it waterproof?

IP67: one metre of water for 30 minutes, so swimming, rain, rivers and the beach are fine. Rinse it in fresh water after salt water and dry the charging port before you plug it in. It is not for diving, and it is not a chew toy: it lives on the collar of the dog wearing it, not in the mouth of the dog next door.

What are the training cues, and is there any shock?

Eight built-in sounds the tracker plays from the app's Training Sounds screen (clicker, two whistles, ring, quiet, come back, search and beep) and a vibration at three strengths, sent to the tracker over Bluetooth from your phone. There is no static or shock function and no voice recording; training runs on sound and vibration only. Use the sounds to mark the behaviour you want and pay it with food; use vibration as an attention cue for a dog that has learned what it means, not as a correction.

Does it replace the Smart ID Tag and the microchip?

It replaces the tag on the days it is charged: the screen shows the same QR and NFC Lost Pet ID. It does not replace the microchip, which is the legal identifier and works with no battery at the vet or the pound. The setup I recommend is tracker plus tag on the same collar, chip registered to a phone number that works, and that is what the Track & Scan Bundle is.

What is in the box, and what if it arrives faulty?

The tracker, two silicone back straps for the collar, a one metre USB-C cable and a QR code inside the lid that takes you through setup in the Ask A Vet app. Faulty or damaged on arrival: email hello@woopf.com as soon as you notice, with a photo and your order number. For anything after that, the same address reaches the Ask A Vet hardware support team.
