I bought this after my dog strayed away from my house, scaring the daylights out of me. I didn’t realize it also essentially functions as a Fitbit for him, giving me daily updates on whether he’s meeting his fitness goals! Absolutely love this.

Epic fail
I finally really needed my whistle app and it was a COMPLETE FAIL The app had stopped tracking my pet and never notified me. When he got turned around and was lost and I tried to check for his location it would not connect. For over ten minutes. Then, it knocked me completely our of the system. First tries to reconnect, I got a notice that the
Email addrsss was wrong. It wasn’t. I was using saved information. Finally on about the fifth try, it connected to the Ap. Then I kept getting the silly “humps” notice you use. The only reason I was able to locate my per was that I had a collar on him with his phone number printed in large type and someone called me. In case you were wondering if my phone was working- you can see that it was. When I go onto my app now, there is a large time gap where I can see that it was not working. As if my pet vanished into thin air. All with no notification. I have had small problems in the past and was assured they were taken care of. Obviously not. I am going to contact everyone I recommended your product to, to rescind my recommendation and let them know they should do the same. This really is not a service you can sell unless you attend to its quality.

When I got my bundle of joy
When I got my bundle of joy, Tuck, an Australian Labradoodle, my brothers gave me Whistle for Christmas. I was grateful, but, not certain that I'd use it. It's been a wonderful gift & I highly recommend!

We bought this after a harrowing…
We bought this after a harrowing experience where our golden took off for 2 1/2 hours from our yard after being frightened by a hot air balloon. I remain impressed by the cost of entry, tech, light weight collar attachment and overall responsiveness.
The data reports on activity, sleep, etc. are a nice bonus and will provide a data driven record of our family pet's health trends and any changes in her routines.

Junk won’t stay charge for
Our whistle will only stay charged for 8 hours at a time then needs to be recharged. Can’t get in contact with customer service after multiple attempts. There are far better products out there for less money. Junk

Excellent source of assurance for safety and the health of your dog
I really love the Whistle product for multiple reasons. The most important reason is that I feel reassured that if my dog were to become scared or react to a strong prey drive instinct and run off, Whistle partnered with recall would help me locate my dog more quickly and return them back into a safe and controlled environment.
I also like to know that they are getting the correct amount of activity during the day/week to keep them healthy and enriched.
Lastly, the itching and licking notifications on the weekly wellness report provide important feedback that could indicate a sensitivity to a new treat or food ingredient or direct me to check for the dreaded flea.
Three stars (instead of five) is based on my experience with one of my dogs actually Whistle unit. One of the toggles broke and consequently would not stay on the collar attachment. When I reached out to Whistle about it, the customer service was AMAZING! Efficient, communicative and incredibly fast getting me another tracker within 48 hours, all they asked for was a picture of the broken device. Unfortunately, this happened again with the replacement device and I was unable to locate it. (when I noticed it was missing it had run out of battery) Nothing on the collar attachment indicated damage and not being able to provide a picture of the broken or defective product, I did not bother calling customer service. I would have felt like a jerk. Ironically, this occurred with my 12 year old, 25lb. dog that is not crazy or rambunctious, while my two year old 95lb., crazy, deer chasing, rambunctious dog has not had an issue thus far.
This truly is an amazing product. Gives owners reassurance and knowledge to keep their pups safe and healthy. I would recommend it to all dog owners.

A great product that does what's…
A great product that does what's intended and more!
Helps to tract activity level of my dog with arthritis which helps us with what medications she needs that day (more activity means more pain the next day). The licking and scratching feature also helps me to track when she needs to go to the groomer, if they increase its time for a spa day. Cant ask for a better product!
