Thank you so much for the timely and easy shipping. We are so excited to start using the whistle for our dog Koda. Betty

Difficult to find replacement parts for previous Whistle version.

I have been using various Whistle products for years. i really love the newer version (Whistle 3) as it is more accurate (less false escape notices) than older versions. Also happy you changed the collar attachment so it does not fall off as much.

Great product, however, the true costs requires a replacement of your device just about annually. This should be clearly defined at the time of purchase. I've had a whistle on my dog for about 6 years (started with a Tagg) and get frustrated every 12-18 months when I have to BUY a new device.

We have used Whistle for about a year and a half since adopting a very fearful, abused pup who had been left in the street. On a daily basis Whistle has helped us track his exercise so that we ensure he lives a long, happy life with us, and most critically has helped us locate him during two terrifying incidents when he has gotten away from us in downtown SF. It has also given us more confidence when leaving him with friends or family during trips, knowing we can keep an eye on his location without bothering people. The app is fantastic, and remarkably, I have never had to reach out to support, despite using the app all the time—everything just always works smoothly. We’ll never switch to another pet tracker, we’re customers for life.

was still being charged a monthly fee when our whistle stopped locating and we had not even had a notification or warning that it was not working ... Still very angry about this but i guess having to upgrade and spend more money was the only option. Lets see how log this new one will actually last !

This product does more than just let you know your dog has got out. With the health monitoring it gives me insight into what they are doing for all those hours Im not around. And helps me track activity so I know if they are getting enough but also notice trends that could indicate a problem.

I would have given 4-5 starts except for these things: The actual tracking device is too big. I see them laying down when it’s fallen to the floor-side of their neck, and not be able to get comfortable so they get up and try again. I have Salukis and I love using 2’ collars on them but the device doesn’t fit on them well. Because of the delay in the GPS (I need to know ASAP if one of them gets loose) you don’t know if they JUST left the yard. With my breed, by the time it gives you a notification, they are a mile away. So, for a dog actually lost this would be great but for immediate warning, not so much. I like the weekly reports. They’re interesting to read. I’m not sure how accurate they are (how could you) but interesting nonetheless. I wish I could tweak the perimeter a little but haven’t figured it out yet. The customer service blows Fi out of the water. I have 4 Salukis - 2 are on Fi and 2 are on Whistle. I like how flush their device is to the dog but you have to use their collars, which sucks. I have some other issues with them which is why I went with Whistle, which I DO like better. Both Fi and Whistle have the same delay for an escape. I had hoped to feel safe with these devices but I’m still a little worried because of how far they could get before a notification. I don’t make a ton of money so 4 collars and 4 one year plans was no joke to afford. I do like Whistle and their report they send. It does charge quickly which is nice. And the battery seems to last awhile between charges. In general, I find Whistle to be better than Fi.
