About Us
Our pets are full members of the family, and their safety matters just as much as their freedom. When a dog or a cat runs away or wanders a little too far—even for a brief moment—anxiety can quickly take over. GPS collars and pet trackers can offer valuable peace of mind by enabling real-time location tracking, but their effectiveness ultimately depends on reliability and suitability for everyday life.
Follow My Paw was created with a clear purpose: to help you better understand these technologies through an independent, real-world perspective. We test GPS trackers for dogs and cats in everyday situations to reveal how they truly perform once worn by our furry companions. Walks, explorations, unexpected escapes, or simple movements around the home—every use case matters. This is why our reviews are based on essential criteria such as location reliability in different environments, tracking accuracy, effectiveness of safe-zone alerts, resistance to outdoor conditions, comfort for the animal, and real-world battery life.
Through Follow My Paw, our goal is to guide you toward an informed choice that matches your pet’s lifestyle, ensuring that technology remains a daily support rather than a source of stress, while always respecting the freedom and well-being of our four-legged companions.
Follow My Paw relies on a multidisciplinary team bringing together specialists in animal behavior, biology, and veterinary health. This complementary skill set enables us to assess GPS collars not only from a technical standpoint, but also through the lens of animal welfare and the real needs of dogs and cats.
