Loc8tor Pet is one of a kind
Unlike anything else currently available the Loc8tor’s audio and visual cues from the handheld point you in the right direction, and will guide you to their exact location whether it’s attached to them or in several cases with cats when they've got out of their collar and you need to locate that. It will literally take you minutes (even seconds) to find them when you could be hunting around for hours.
Guides you right to your pet
With amazing accuracy you will be guided to within an inch/2.5cm whether you are indoors or out even in complete darkness. Included within the pack are four Splashproof cases to help keep the Tags dry and give you the choice of how you prefer to attach the Tag.
To find your item, turn around in a full circle then walk in the direction of the strongest signal shown on the handheld – It’s as easy as that!!!

Q - How does the Loc8tor Pet work?
A - Loc8tor uses a blend of exciting new technologies and traditional radio frequency (RF) technology.
Both Tags and Handheld transmit and receive radio signals. The Loc8tor Handheld picks up this signal. Whilst the Tag beeps to help guide you in the Handset actually points you in the direction to walk. Using clear audio and visual prompts just follow the direction with the strongest signal
Q - How many items can I protect with my Loc8tor Pet?
A- Up to 4. The pack comes with 2 homing tags but an extra two mini homing tags can be purchased.
Q - What range does Loc8tor Pet have?
A - Loc8tor Pet has a typically range of up to 122m / 400 feet. This is based upon an outdoor application with clear line of sight. In certain environments you can find over a greater distance. Obstacles such as walls, floors, cupboards and other people will reduce the maximum range proportionately.
Q – How accurate is it ?
A – The Loc8tor Pet handset will guide you to within 2.5cm / 1” of your possessions.
Q - How do I actually find something?
A – Switching the handset on and select the item you want to find. So long as the tag is in range the handset will pick up its signal. Now turn around in a full circle keeping the handset pointing straight in front of you. Now walk in the direction of the strongest signal. The Loc8tor uses audio with varying pitch - higher when you are pointing in the right direction and visual -Red, amber and then green to indicate you are getting closer. Repeat full circle if you are ever unsure which direction to walk in.
Q - Will it locate the Tags through obstacles such as fences or walls?
A - Yes, however the maximum range will be reduced. Actual range will vary depending on what’s between the tagged item and handset
Q - Can Loc8tor detect whether your pet is upstairs or downstairs?
A - Yes, Loc8tor is fully directional and will provide guidance left and right, and up and down. You will get the strongest signal when you are pointing directly at the tag. First complete a full circle. As you get closer try pointing to the ceiling (if you are downstairs) or to the floor (if upstairs)
Q - Does Loc8tor work abroad?
A - Yes, Loc8tor works on the 2.45GHz ISM frequency band which is available worldwide.
Q - How do I attach a Tag to the pet I wish to protect?
A – Select one of the Splashproof tag cases included within the pack. Making sure you’ve registered the tag to the handset first insert the tag into the silicon case. This can now be attached directly to i.e. the pets collar using the split ring on the collar or feeding the collar through the silicon case.
Q - How do I know which button to press to search for it?
A - When you register each new Tag you are able to assign it to one of the four buttons on the front. Make a note which pet is assigned to which button on the slip provided. This can either be stuck to the back of the handset or onto the bracket provided.
Q - Will Tags owned by other people affect my Loc8tor Handheld?
A - No. Each Tag is uniquely registered to your Handheld during a simple set up process. It is then impossible for other Handhelds to track find your pet.
Q- Are the Tags water resistant?
A- Not unless used with our Splashproof case included within the pack.
Q- How do I get an additional copy of the manual ?
A- Click this link and save it to your computer or print

I followed the beeps and there was ‘Ratbag’ hiding under the owner's bed!!!
Reviewed by M. Pullen, New Zealand
"Hi there, I just wanted to tell you that Loc8tor worked for me and my cat again last evening. He didn't come in at 7pm as per usual so I called, and checked with the loc8tor. It showed he was in the next door neighbour's yard or vicinity. He usually comes when his collar beeps but this time he didn't. By 8:30pm I was convinced something was wrong so I knocked on the neighbour's door and asked if I could check the yard. No sign of cat but I kept getting a very strong response at one corner of their house. My conclusion was that cat must be inside the house! Knocked again, and they let me in,(no doubt thinking I was a bit mad!) I followed the beeps and there was ‘Ratbag’ hiding under the owner's bed!!! The neighbours were then very impressed and I was saved from a sleepless night. Thank you once again for this wonderful gadget."

“I just wanted to say that the Loc8tor Pet is an absolutely brilliant product..... We've found him locked in airing cupboard, hiding under the stairs and in the garden. He's still a kitten and very adventurous and a few days ago he managed to climb over the neighbours fence but wasn't able to get back out. Luckily we managed to find him straight away hiding under some potted plants because it was pouring with rain. If we hadn't had the loc8tor he probably would have been there for days. I would definitely recommend this product for anyone who has a cat or a kitten!”

- super efficient gadget was a good buy Review by Sydney
-
We had lots of trouble locating Katja our adventurous kitten. She wandered far from home in all directions around our 3 hectares wooded terrain.
Now, with the loc8tor, I can quickly find the direction and exact location, even when up trees. I hesitated when I saw the price, but for me this super efficient gadget was a good buy - even now after 3 months when I seldom need more that the initial direction. I am reaching the age when I will place place the receiver on my keyring which has many secret hiding places. Can strongly recommend. (Posted on 5/17/13) - Bingo, there is a Cat! Review by Lee
- We have used the Loc8tor Pet system to monitor two cats outside on an heavily gardened acre property. Although it does not always give you an excact location, because of no line of direct sight ,it does give you a clue as to which way to go and then as you get closer "Bingo" there is a cat. Great system, we would just like it to work with two handsets at the same time. If one cat goes to front of house and other is at the back. Two people doing the chasing iis far better. Well done Loc8tor. (Posted on 11/15/12)

Thanks so much! (Posted on 10/22/12) - My Loc8tor Is awesome! Review by TamH
- This is truly the best $139 I have ever spent on my cats. We live in Colorado where cats often become a midnight snack for foxes, coyotes, and hawks. But our 4 cats are so much happier (not to mention thinner) when they can go outside during the daytime. But each time one disappears, we feel tremendous stress searching the neighborhood, with my kids and I in tears. The Loc8tor is exactly what I have imagined we needed. It really is fun and easy to use. One week after tagging our 4 kitties, we had a noisy BBQ at our house. One cat disappeared and wouldn't respond to our calls. I switched on the little receiver in our house, pushed #3 for her tag, and it led me through our pitch black back yard, directly to our lilac bush. I couldn't see a thing, but reached in and pulled out my cat in about 30 seconds all together! I love the Loc8tor, and won't ever have a cat without one again. And just think...the cost is half the price I payed to stitch up my cat that got bitten the last time she spent the night on the town:) (Posted on 9/16/12)
- finding kittens by tracking the mom Review by polly pillsbury
-
So here is the kitten story: two weeks ago a sweet cat started showing up at my house, thin and hungry. A town resident happened to stop by our house one day and said that the cat had been left behind by his tenants. I decided to take care of her and find her a home, but discovered that she was a lactating mother with kittens stashed somewhere! but where? I immediately thought of a friends barn because of the close proximity to the house where the cat had lived, but my friends hadn't seen the cat around.
I walked the property Of the cats former home, and I crawled around in the muck and mosquitoes under the porches, etc, but no kittens. The cat continued to show up at my house every night for food, purring loudly. It was a daunting project. I realized that if the kittens weren't found, they would not have a chance at loving homes because they would become feral, and multiply, and The town would have a problem. More coyotes hanging around, and cats with diseases. But how to find them? So I went online and googled radio collars for wildlife, and found one for cats! I found your pet loc8tor company, and although skeptical, thought it worth a try. I ordered one out of desperation.
. The day it arrived, I put the collar with the little radio tag on the cat , and because it was late at night when she showed up, I opted to wait for daylight to try it out. The next day I started at her former home, and immediately got a faint signal that got stronger and stronger as it led me first through a back yard and then through the underbrush behind a barn, to right in front of a tree. I opened a can of cat food, and the cat came running down from the tree to greet me.
But still no sign of kittens anywhere. That night I went back late and again got a signal, only to discover the collar had been ditched . no cat. The next night when kitty showed up, I put the collar on again and then turned my attention to a dinner party I was giving. I didn't check emails til late to discover that a friend had emailed saying that the cat was in her barn, and she had petted her. So early the next morning I went to the barn and started to get a strong signal from inside,. I went into the barn, and in a corner found mom and four kittens! I dumped mom in the carrier I'd brought, and the owner of the barn turned up just in time to help me gather up the four kittens. Took them to mom's and got them settled in, and 5 hours later Charles showed up with a fifth kitten he'd found!
They were all given a clean bill of health at the vet and were determined to be about five weeks old. they are beautiful!
I would never have found them without this wonderful little piece of technology called "the pet loc8tor"
Thank you!

I would love to be a sales rep for this product! (Posted on 8/29/12) - Trained my wandering cat to come home! Review by Kate
- I have a cat who is an escape artist -- Houdini would be proud. After only a few days of wearing the Loc8tor on his harness, he realized that the beeping meant he would be fed if he came home. As soon as the first red light comes on, I know his Loc8tor has started beeping and sure enough, within seconds he'll come running. My 10 year old daughter suffered heartache every time he got out and she couldn't find him -- now she can go out with the Loc8tor and bring him home. Amazing! Thank you! (Posted on 7/29/12)

I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the locator .
My cat is getting quite old now and often wanders .
I have just come home tonight and was very worried because he is usually waiting for me when I get home but he wasn’t.
I used the locator and found him caught up in the water lilies half in the lake . He was very happy to see me. He would have drowned when the gate opened [happens every night at 8pm. ]
Thankyou so much for inventing this.
I noticed you have a new model on your website and would love to become a distributor here.
[would like one of those new ones too] how much are they in NZ dollars?
I am happy to go on holiday now and leave the remote with my cat sitter.

- Works wonderful.. We have a big Maine-Coon cat that likes to wonder off when he's outside. Put this on him and he is always found. When he's visible we've even used the beeping sound on his collar to discourage him from wondering into places he shouldn't go. He now knows when he hears that beep it means 'we're watching you!'.

- The Loc8tor is essential for all pet owners who want peace of mind. Review by Victoria - New Zealand
-
I have just placed my 2nd order with Loc8tor, for more Pet Splashproof covers & batteries. I purchased the Loc8tor Plus to track my two young & very active Bengal cats, who are always exploring areas of bushland around my home, and other people's homes. They now know to come home when they hear their tags beeping! I decided my 3rd cat (17yrs+, very
fat) needed one too when I walked past her 3 times in daylight, without seeing her nestled amongst some grass.
The Loc8tor is essential for all pet owners who want peace of mind. I now don't worry about my old cat wandering off (injured or dying) and never finding her again, even under my own house. The tags and splashproof housings work very well and the cats don't notice them at all. I now know when the other two cats are "visiting" and which house they are at!

- My cat roams our 2acre waterfront property. At first the Loc8tor found her easily. But this cat does not want to be found. Now the beeper on her collar tag warns her, and she immediately runs out of range, untill her collar stops beeping. I wish you had a pet tag that didn't warn her that I'm looking. (Posted on 7/9/12)
- Works in temperatures below freezing Review by Lorna Beairsto - Calgary Canada
- Living in a cold climate, I was a little uncertain when I first bought your system whether it would be of use all year so I thought I would send you the answer: a resounding yes! The Loc8tor Plus has given me an extra hour or two of sleep most nights. My cat came from a farm and roams at least three blocks in every direction. At night, if she's not around, I drive a grid pattern through the neighbourhood until I get a signal. I used to get out of the car and find her and drive her home but lately she has been heading home when her collar beeps so I just meet her there. I can attest to the facts that it works well from inside a car and it works in temperatures far below freezing, at least as long as the tag is taped snuggly on the inside of a long-haired cat's collar and the hand-held device is kept warm inside a coat or in the car. My cat and I are both thrilled - I get to sleep at a decent time and she gets lots of treats for coming home when beeped. (Posted on 7/9/12)
- THANK YOU LOC8TOR FOR HELPING US TO SAVE OUR CATS LIFE Review by Rosemary and Jim Kolynich - New York
-
Our two cats, Tommy and Jerry, now five, are more like children to us than pets. Although we have always allowed them the freedom of roaming outdoors we like to keep very close tabs on them. We have been using your Loc8tor tags on our two cats for the past few years to help us find them whenever we felt it was time to return indoors again. They are extremely loving and affectionate cats who sleep in our bed with us at night.
Yesterday my husband let the cats out shortly after 9 AM. Since it was a Saturday we were both busy going about our housework. Tommy returned home around noon but Jerry never returned. Since it gets dark early now we decided to start calling for Jerry around 3:00 but couldn't find him. Jim took the Loc8tor out and began searching the fields and neighboring yards and streets. The later the hour grew the more worried we became. With each passing hour we grew more anxious. Since it is December in New York now the weather is very cold here. The night time temperatures are down below freezing. The wind was blowing very strong and there were snowflakes blowing in the air.
By eleven o'clock we were in a panic. Jim had made several attempts to find him by walking every inch of the neighborhood. He nearly froze trying to find him in the 30 degree temperatures and strong winds. We finally went to bed but never slept more than a few hours each getting up every few minutes to look outside for Jerry.
We knew that unless he found shelter he would be very cold and might even freeze. We prayed that he was safe somewhere and would come home in the morning. First thing in the morning on Sunday we immediately dressed and started trying searching again. We drove up and down all the streets calling and checking with neighbors. We finally returned home around 11:00 AM.
Frustrated that we could not find him we started trying to figure out the possibilities of where he might have gone. We stared outside looking at the few country homes and barns that were visible from our kitchen window. I said it didn't seem likely he would be roaming around in this freezing cold. Most likely he was in a barn somewhere. There were only a few barns within a miles range of our home and we had already checked all of them.
Suddenly I remembered an empty home within a half to three quarters of a mile away that has been boarded up and unoccupied for years. I told Jim I'd like to drive over there and look around. We piled back into our coats and hats and quickly drove to the empty house. Jim jumped out with the Loc8tor and began walking around back as I followed. Just as he turned the corner around the back of the house he hollered I've got him. The Loc8tor began to sing and squeal louder and louder as he approached the house.
It was as if we had both each received a shot of adrenaline. We began running around from window to window knocking frantically and calling Jerry Jerry. We couldn't see him inside the house anywhere but the Loc8tor continued to beep loudly. Suddenly Jim found a hole in the door jam area of the back door just big enough for a cat or a small animal to jump through down into the basement of the house. He said he believed that's where he went in.
I tried calling the local police for help but they said there wasn't anything they could do to help us. They suggested we wait until Monday and call the code enforcement officer of our municipality to see what he could do about unlocking a condemned house.
We knew time was of the essence. Jerry had already been trapped in that unheated basement for 24 hours and was crying for help. He might be injured down there and was definitely freezing and hungry. We decided to try to find a way into the house on our own. Luckily Jim was able to pry open one of the cellar doors just enough to squeeze inside. Success ! Once inside he spotted Jerry right away and he leapt up into his arms, one cold but happy cat. Jim passed him out through the crack in the door to me where I immediately whisked him away into the warm waiting car.
We took our Jerry home and he was so hungry and happy to be back in his nice warm house again with his Mom and Dad who love him so dearly. He is the light of our life. We thanked God for giving us the will to pursue our search for Jerry until we found him. Had we given up and had not had the Loc8tor to scan that house, our precious pet would have perished there in another freezing cold night with no food or heat.
THANK YOU LOC8TOR FOR HELPING US TO SAVE OUR CATS LIFE !!
We remain eternally grateful,
Rosemary and Jim Kolynich and Jerry
(Posted on 7/9/12) - I just wanted to write and say thanks for inventing these tags. Review by Justine
- I just wanted to write and say thanks for inventing these tags. One of our cats went missing a couple of days before Christmas. We thought she had been stolen as she is a valuable one. We spent two days scanning local streets and eventually tracked her down to an old warehouse behind a builders yard and after some time she worked her way to the window (she responds to the bleep on the tag as a homing signal and usually returns) so we knew for definite she was in there. However the warehouse was locked and no one was there (it was a Sunday). We eventually traced the owner who had left the property for Christmas the day before and was now 8 hours away and wasn't due back for 2 weeks. He kindly got a family member to cut a cat flap in the door of the warehouse to release our cat. Without one of your Loc8tor tags on she would have almost certainly not been found and probably would not have survived. The tags have been worth every penny (Posted on 7/9/12)
- it does what it says on the tin Review by J. Henthorn
-
I have been greatly impressed with the performance of the loc8tor. "It does what it says on the tin"! My cat does not object at all to the tag (in its splash-proof case) being attached to his collar. Most times when the search is activated the bleep of the tag is sufficient to remind him that his presence at home is required and he duly returns.
I thoroughly recommend the product.

I just had to write you and say THANK YOU SO MUCH for your Pet Loc8tor product!
We live in the back of a secluded community and I have/had 3 furry babies. They just love to sit in the backyard in the sun and since our community doesn’t get much traffic, I never thought twice about letting them go outside. However one Sunday one of my cats went missing. He was microchipped and had his collar and tags on. I put up fliers; went door to door asking neighbors, called vet clinics, searched local shelters tirelessly for months. I never did find my poor kitty. Afterwards I bought your Pet Loc8tor for my 2 remaining cats and I have never slept better! Also one of my little kitties is a MASTER COLLAR REMOVER! With the Loc8tor, it doesn’t matter if it is pitch black outside I can always find my kitties and/or their removed collars! The blinking red light is great at night! The loc8tor has paid for itself in cat collars alone and there is no price you can put on peace of mind! Also I read that many of your customers noticed their cats will come once the collar starts beeping. I as well have seen that once I activate the Loc8tor it seems the cats start their way back to the yard. I am always sure to give them kitty treats when I find them to reinforce the behavior. THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU!!! I did find that one of the tags had a dead battery when I unpacked it, so I would recommend to other customers buying the replacement batteries when they place their order. Other than that, I have absolutely no complaints about the Loc8tor product!

- Thank you Review by J Harrison
- I did a fair amount of research on different systems available for cats as I have one who does like to leave our garden in his outside time. Within a couple of months of use, this product well and truly paid for itself. My cat didn't return home one evening and I was unable to pick up a signal anywhere around our street and his usual haunts. It was a long night with still no signal.. Very early the next day I started walking streets from ours and picked up a very faint signal. It led me to finding my gorgeous boy safe but at least 800 mts away and stuck on top of an old shed with a steep angled roof with a dog sitting below... Had we not had the loc8tor on him, I wouldnt like to think how that may have ended up. Thank you! (Posted on 7/3/12)
- Love these tags Review by Two cat Carol
- We've had these tags for a few months now, and we're delighted with them. They're easy to use, our cats accept them happily, and we're now more at ease allowing them into the backyard knowing that if the younger one does get adventurous and leaps the fence we can track her down quite easily. It's also nice to be able to locate her if we need to get her indoors and she's decided to ignore us concealed somewhere in the shrubbery. They're also great for locating the collars when the cats have decided to ditch them and go into 'stealth mode' (we use safety collars whcih snap away and our cats have worked out how to 'undress'). I can thoroughly reccomend these locator tags - they greatly increase my peace of mind. (Posted on 6/29/12)

This device is great to give my cats better chance. If there do not come home, I can find them if they are stuck somewhere.

So, I am getting new ones.

- 9 out of 10 rating Review by Rolando of Sugar Land, Texas
- My wife decided to put out our 2 cats outside the house and because both of them are not familiar with living the outside world, I decided to buy this Loc8tor just in case they wander around. After one week of owning this Loc8tor, one of the cats disappeared, so I decided to scan the whole block of our neighborhood using this Loc8tor with no success. I started to broadened my search by planning to search our subdivision into 4 quadrants, and each quadrant took me about 45 minutes to scan. It took me 3 days with total accumulated of 3 hours of search time and stil no sign of our lost cat. On the 4th night that our cat was missing, as me and my wife were heading home from Easter celebration (04/08/2012) and birthday party of my grand daughter, just about 500 feet from arriving my house, this Loc8tor gave me two successive beeps. I verified if I pushed the correct button, since the 2nd button is assigned to the other cat, by cancelling it and then reactivating the 1st button assigned to the missing cat, 3 seconds after the activation it gave possitive successive weak beeps and at that time we decided to park the car and do the search on foot. I turned around 360 degrees to get the direction of the strongest weak signal and finally get the correct direction to move forward and get stronger signal in my detector (Loc8tor). Finally we were able to pinpoint the exact location within 30 feet of our Oreo, the missing cat, and I started to knock the door of the owner of the house to get the permission to access their backyard, however, after several attempts to communicate with the owner of house, no one opened the door for us, so we decided to open the gate of the fence which fortunately was not locked. We went towards the wooden shed located in the backyard and there he is inside the shed hiding behind a big box. Thanks for the other neighbor who opened the door for us and loaned us a flashlight and opened up the lights in her backyard. (Posted on 4/9/12)
- Very happy to have bought this Loc8tor with a rating of 9 out of 10 Review by Rolando
- My wife decided to put out our 2 cats outside the house and because both of them are not familiar with living the outside world, I decided to buy this Loc8tor just in case they wander around. After one week of owning this Loc8tor, one of the cats disappeared, so I decided to scan the whole block of our neighborhood using this Loc8tor with no success. I started to broadened my search by planning to search our subdivision into 4 quadrants, and each quadrant took me about 45 minutes to scan. It took me 3 days with total accumulated of 3 hours of search time and stil no sign of our lost cat. On the 4th night that our cat was missing, as me and my wife were heading home from Easter celebration (04/08/2012) and birthday party of my grand daughter, just about 500 feet from arriving my house, this Loc8tor gave me two successive beeps. I verified if I pushed the correct button, since the 2nd button is assigned to the other cat, by cancelling it and then reactivating the 1st button assigned to the missing cat, 3 seconds after the activation it gave possitive successive weak beeps and at that time we decided to park the car and do the search on foot.

- Great product! Peace of mind at last! Review by Elaine
- I purchased this item about a month ago for my indoor/outdoor cat who has a bad habit of getting into fights, although yes, he is neutered, and then being too injured to get back home for a few days. I also like to keep him in at night, when I can find him. I love the peace of mind I now have in keeping tabs on where he is all the time. The only downside is he wears a breakaway collar and he loses it from time to time but I at least can find the tag and have an idea of the area he was in. I do not recommend the splash protector at all. It got ripped off as it's completely rubber, including where it attaches to the collar. We were able to find it however. The range is still in question but from what I'm gathering, it will pick up a signal somewhere in the vicinity of 200 ft. I think this product would be excellent for dogs who have a habit of getting out of the yard and wandering around the neighborhood, particularly since they don't lose their collars but you are probably better off with an actual gps for them if you anticipate them going farther than that. I also plan to use the other tag that came in the box on my strictly indoor cat to locate him if he happens to slip out, as soon as I can get him to wear a collar. I highly recommend this product for all your cats, both indoor and outdoor. You want to cover as many bases as is possible with them as they are part of your family. (Posted on 12/10/11)

- Peace of Mind Review by Di Featherby - South Africa
-
Hi- I have two Chinchilla Kittens and as I had promised (them) and myself when the season warmed and they were a little older I would let them out into the garden. I found that I delayed the process out of terrible fear of them going astray despite the pressure from relatives and friends insisting that they would stay close to home. We live on an Acre property with many trees, bush and shrubs but after discovering the Pet Loc8tor and actually trying it out inside I felt totally comfortable in taking that major step and introducing them to the outdoors.
Well... at this very moment I am sitting outside in the gorgeous weather with Tommy and Mia running and playing and having the best time every whilst I have peace of mind that I can turn the Loc8tor on and ensure they are still in the vicinity.
In fact, when I turn it on to scan the area they come out of the bush they hiding under to see "what Mummy wants"...
A true and utter Blessing.
Thank You!

- I just had to write you and say THANK YOU SO MUCH for your Pet Loc8tor product! We live in the back of a secluded community and I have/had 3 furry babies. They just love to sit in the backyard in the sun and since our community doesn't get much traffic, I never thought twice about letting them go outside. However one Sunday one of my cats went missing. He was microchipped and had his collar and tags on. I put up fliers; went door to door asking neighbors, called vet clinics, searched local shelters tirelessly for months. I never did find my poor kitty. Afterwards I bought your Pet Loc8tor for my 2 remaining cats and I have never slept better! Also one of my little kitties is a MASTER COLLAR REMOVER! With the Loc8tor, it doesn't matter if it is pitch black outside I can always find my kitties and/or their removed collars! The blinking red light is great at night! The loc8tor has paid for itself in cat collars alone and there is no price you can put on peace of mind! Also I read that many of your customers noticed their cats will come once the collar starts beeping. I as well have seen that once I activate the Loc8tor it seems the cats start their way back to the yard. I am always sure to give them kitty treats when I find them to reinforce the behavior. THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU!!! (Posted on 7/27/11)
- I just wanted to say that the Loc8tor Pet is an absolutely brilliant product Review by D. Astle, Liverpool
- I just wanted to say that the Loc8tor Pet is an absolutely brilliant product..... We've found him locked in airing cupboard, hiding under the stairs and in the garden. He's still a kitten and very adventurous and a few days ago he managed to climb over the neighbours fence but wasn't able to get back out. Luckily we managed to find him straight away hiding under some potted plants because it was pouring with rain. If we hadn't had the loc8tor he probably would have been there for days. I would definitely recommend this product for anyone who has a cat or a kitten! (Posted on 7/27/11)

I take three dogs up into the forest every day and it rains a lot. I have no worries with the other two (one of whom is a career criminal but she saves it for when she's home) but Doris, a fearful creature who is afraid of wheelie bins, bikes, notice boards, baby buggies, etc. (you name it) when near home, turns into the Dog From Hell when amongst the pine trees and likes to disappear into them. The Loc8tor Pet is a blessing.
(Posted on 7/27/11) - Many thanks again from me and Bertie! Review by Rachel, UK
-
A couple of days ago one of my cats went missing. Bertie never wanders far and we had become very concerned and started searching for him using the Loc8tor we purchased from you in December last year. We live in a very rural environment which meant trouping miles across hilly countryside. The weather was deplorable, raining, high winds and very, very cold. Using the Loc8tor we tracked Bertie and eventually found him up a big tree, on the banks of a burn in full spate, and on the opposite side. We would never have imagined Bertie could have crossed this burn (we still don’t know how he managed it!). We even doubted the Loc8tor and thought that the signal was being ‘interfered’ with by an electrical power box nearby. Bertie let out a loud meow and we were right in front of him on the other side of the burn – we will remember to look upwards as well as on the ground next time! To find him was absolutely amazing given the conditions and the distance away from home. My husband has estimated that the distance from where we actually picked up the first ‘bleep’ was at least 500 yards away from where Bertie was (in a straight line and with nothing in between to break the signal).
We are very impressed and we wanted to say thanks for providing such a life saver! If it hadn’t been for the Loc8tor I seriously doubt we would have found him.
Many thanks again from me and Bertie!

- I absolutely love the loc8tor device. With the earthquakes in Christchurch over the last 6 months two of my three cats would often disappear especially after an aftershock. One of the cats had been quite badly injured in the first quake so I became very worried when I could not find them. I knew a neighbour had a loc8tor device so I thought I'd try one. It's been great and has reduced my stress levels immensely. Now I can find my cats even when they have gone into hiding. I also attached one to our puppy and have found that useful when he has inadvertently escaped. (Posted on 7/27/11)
- Your product has changed our lives Review by Rowan Timmer
- Firstly i must say that your product has changed our lives. We never imagined that the Loc8tor would be as great as it is. We actually found our cat down a storm drain about a mile from our house. After lots of driving around we eventually got the return beep on the handset near the drain and after a lot of persuasion our cat emerged. Without the loc8tor we would have never stopped there and would certainly would not have found him. Thanks for a great product. (Posted on 7/27/11)
