Loc8tor Pet

Customer Reviews

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 09/04/2012)

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 10/12/2011)

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 wanted to say that the Loc8tor Pet is an absolutely brilliant product Review by Erica Bins, UK

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 27/07/2011)

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 27/07/2011)

The Loc8tor Pet is a blessing Review by Doris Dane, UK

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.

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 just wanted to say that the Loc8tor Pet is an absolutely brilliant product Review by Anna, Christchurch NZ

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 27/07/2011)

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 27/07/2011)
