Does your cat go missing for days at a time? Is your dog a master escape artist?

Introducing our all new Petrek 3G, officially the smallest 3G Pet tracker in the World. Now fully waterproofed for up to 30 minutes of swimming for Dogs that love water! While, almost 50% smaller than our best selling Petrek GPS trackers.

Finally there is an answer to all the heartache and distress caused by losing a pet. The Petrek 3G delivers the highest standard of pet tracking for owners who want continuous knowledge of the whereabouts of their beloved pets. The 30 gram unit easily attaches onto any cat or dog collar with a special silicon case or a plastic clip and its associated app seamlessly integrates with most smart-phones; both Apple iOS & Android.

In a nutshell, you can pinpoint your pet’s location on your mobile phone; see where they’ve been; and, receive instant alerts if your pet breaches the boundaries of your property. The mobile application uses satellite Google mapping images and can even compile up to 1 month of location data into a heat mapping display to give you an indication of your pet’s favorite hang out hot-spots.

There are three simple tracking modes to choose from: urgent mode which will track your pets location on 30 second interval updates; normal mode which will track your pets location on 5 minutes interval updates; or, power saving mode which will track your pets location on 2 hours interval updates and will also increase the Petrek’s battery performance up to 5 days. Note that each update requires both GPS and GSM signal, so it won't always update if your pet is just sitting at home watching TV with you!

Unlike competing products on the market, the Petrek 3G does not bind you into any monthly or yearly contract fees. Every order comes with a Vodafone prepay sim card pack. You will just need to add credit to the number of the SIM card much like a prepay phone to start using your Petrek 3G. In most cases it should only cost you $5-20 credit to run for a whole year depending on the network you're with. Or simply use a shared plan with your current mobile plan.

We are the first to have a Pet tracker that now supports the SPARK/SKINNY network giving you more rural tracking range!

Order your Petrek 3G today and be reassured that you’re pet will always be in safe hands with Petrek.

Fine print:

iPet App best used with newer Android phones and iPhones with at least a 1.2ghz Dual core processor. Recommend Android phones for best usage.

Heat mapping feature is available on Android devices only due to iOS limitations; however, daily history playback is still possible with iOS devices as long as your phone let's the App update in the background.

Petrek 3G is suitable for small to large sized pets that are around 3kg and up. Please check dimensions and weight (30 grams) before purchase. We DO NOT provide refunds should you find the item too big, please read our Refund policy at the bottom of the checkout page for more information.

Location update accuracy depends on GPS Signal/Google Maps and can vary from 0.5m-25m+. Tracker works on Vodafone, Spark & Skinny network.
Each update requires GPS signal, GSM signal (mobile reception) and movement. Without these three necessities the tracker will not update. E.g, when the cat is at home hiding under a bed with no GPS signal. In this case, the app will just show the last update before the cat ran into the house to hide or connect to the nearest mobile cell tower which can be anywhere from 20m to 5km's away. So always check if the update was updated via GPS reception or Cell tower.

Device is IP67 waterproof certified, meaning the tracker can be fully submerged in water for up to 30 minutes long and 1 metre deep. Please make sure any seawater is to be washed off after usage with fresh water.
All Petrek trackers are made to come off should your pet become stuck in a tight situation or area, such as a rabbit hole, under a house, over a fence or even a tree. This is to prevent our trackers from becoming a choking accessory. We are not liable for any loss of trackers especially when the trackers come off dring a struggle under a house etc where no GPS signal is available.

Every tracker requires a SIM card, so when you receive your Petrek 3G, we will already have provided a Vodafone Prepay SIM card with instructions on topping up. While a Spark or Skinny SIM will also work it will cost significantly more to run. Costings are noted at the bottom of this product page.
Please check the mobile reception in your area for Vodafone using vodafone's coverage map. We do not provide refunds for trackers that have been taken out of the box and used only to find there is no mobile reception in your area. You can check on Vodafone, Spark, and Skinny on their coverage maps by typing in your address.

Dimensions are 46mm(L) x 38mm(W) x 19mm(H) without the plastic collar clip or collar adapting silicon jelly case. Weight is 29 Grams without SIM card, or 30 Grams with SIM Card.
Petrek 3G is small, but this also means it has a much smaller antennas, so if you are in an area with sketchy/weak mobile reception, they tracker may not always update and can drain battery slightly faster. So it is recommended that you consider the larger sized Petrek GPS which has a bigger antenna making it work better in weaker reception areas.

All Petrek GPS and 3G trackers come with builtin rechargeable battery. The Petrek 3G uses a world first magnetic waterproof charging port, this means you can charge without pulling any waterproof covers. The port acts like a magnet for the charging head and attaches itself when the plug gets close enough. Charging is required daily on frequent update modes (Urgent. normal etc) or can be charged once every 3-5 days if in power saving mode. Please note battery life is very dependent on reception. The better the reception the longer the battery life. We are constantly tweaking this new model to achieve maximum battery life so expect battery life to increase as your tracker automatically updates during usage. Charging takes less than 1 hour.

Note: Please read battery life expectations below

Features:

Live Location

Get live location updates by the press of a button shown on Google Maps with an accuracy of up to 0.5 metres so you know the location of your pet. You can choose to have the tracker updating every 30 seconds (Urgent mode), 5 minutes (Normal mode), or 2 hours. (Power saving mode)

Battery life is dependent on settings above.

*Satellite Live location updates require full GSM and GPS signal. GPS signals require clear sight of sky. The most accurate location updates will be received when tracker is outdoors. Google map accuracy can also effect total accuracy of tracker. Bad weather, hilly terrain etc all can have a accuracy bias of up to 20 or even 30 metres in extreme cases. Some rural and outdoor areas may have poor GPS reception due to limited Satellite stations and also inaccurate Google Map placement, so please allow 2 metres and up to 15 metre accuracy in certain areas. Please check your area’s GPS signal with various GPS apps if you are unsure of your GPS and GSM reception. Indoors may show no GPS signal or weak signal which means accuracy will be limited and can be up to 5km away. Read our FAQ for more on accuracy.

Satellite View

With the touch of a button you can zoom into full satellite imagery so you know which house, tree or fence is nearest your pet.

*Satellite view and any other live view is only accurate when there is GPS signal, if there is no GPS signal the app will show you the nearest cell tower for an idea of the area until the tracker moves out to an area with reception.

Street View Technology

Still not sure where your pet is? Drag the little Google street view person to the location of your pet and get an instant idea of the house or garden they are in!

Geo-Fencing

Through the iPet App for both Android and iOS phones you can now put your finger on your property and immediately create a proximity circle that you can adjust from 100 metres to 999 metres. Depending on your update time, should the iPet app detect your dog or cat outside the proximity circle on the latest location update, you will get an alert and notifications within seconds!

*Geo-Fencing relies on GPS signals for the Petrek GPS to update its location . As long as the tracking is moving (not in sleep mode) and outdoors, the breach will be picked up. Please also note GSM network is required to send the notification to your phone.

Low Battery Alert

When your Petrek GPS is about to run out of juice, you will receive a notification via iPet App.

*Low battery alert applies only if there is GSM signal. If the tracker is in an area with no GSM reception, you may not receive the alert.

Battery Life

If the Petrek 3G does not detect movement, it simply goes to sleep mode. In pure sleep mode, it can last up to 1600 hours. However in practical use, depending on how active your pet is, update frequency and features you set to.

- Normal mode (5-10 min updates) - Approx 8-14 hours

- Urgent mode (30 Sec updates) 5-8 hours

- Power saving mode (2 hour updates) 2-4 days

*Battery life varies significantly depending on usage levels, For example in places with poor GPS (when indoors) or GSM reception battery life can decrease up to 2 hours, but if your pet is normally out and about in open areas where the tracker don't have to constantly hunt for better reception the battery life will increase. Read our FAQ for more information.

*Note Switching back from Power saving mode may take up to 2 hours as the Petrek 3G goes to sleep for 2 hours to save power, however if Geo-fence is triggered on the next update, it will send an notification and change back to “normal” mode.

IP67 Waterproofing

Does your dog like to take a dip at the beach or at the backyard stream? No worries, the Petrek 3G has been certified and has passed it’s IP67 ratings which means your Dog or even your cat can go swim at the local swimming pool for up to 30 minutes! Of course, as long as they don't dive deeper than 1 metre.

*IP67 rating does not allow the tracker to be used for deep water diving. Warranty will not be given if water damages are found.

† Please note that while we do not charge any ongoing fees for APP usage, the Petrek 3G requires a prepay SIM card loaded with credit for text or data charges to function.
The i-Pet app uses data for location updates only. [approx. 0.0017MB per automatic location update]
Text or data charges would depend on the rates from the Telco company.

for more info on data charges please go to www.skinny.co.nz

Ideally on Skinny each update is charged at 5 cents so it is best to use a data plan such as the 50mb/7 days $2 plan which will cost $8 a month to run.

On Vodafone Pay & Go prepay it will cost around $20-40 a year to run depending on your usage level.

Lintek and any of it’s agents and retailers do not take any responsibility if your pet is lost and is not found while using any of our trackers.
