Fi Series 3 GPS Dog Collar Unboxing & Review

Would you invest in a GPS collar for your pup?

Can't it just get taken off or tored if someone steals your dog I don't know feel like it's a waste that's just me though nice review

whats app name

Hi! What do you do for the dog tag that has their name and numbers?

Just got this - collar rattles. Also a competitor - Whistle - has way better health features and cost less.

Does it work out of the state ?

I'm disappointed that these do not work Internationally. 😒

After back surgery, ugh, had to decamp for about two months to my sisters' farm outside of Asheville NC. Although many of the fields are fenced for the regular crew of farm stock I was really unsure of Lincoln, a nearly year old Bloodhound being safe and secure on the property. Bought the collar to make sure I could keep an eye on him. The fields are separated by gates which he could pretty easily squeeze under but for the most part he was happy to hang with the pigs, calves and cows. One day when a sister went out to bring him in, she my saw while he was at the gate waiting, he was collarless!!!! All I could think about was the acreage we would have to walk through to find the collar and our chances of success. Went to my phone which even though not on Lincoln, it directed me to the location of the collar in the lower field so no joke was able to walk right to the collar laying in the field!!

my dogs keep getting out no matter what we do raising the fence covering the holes they jump through covering the holes they dug through, this would be a game changer. i do have a question though would the app alert you if your dog got out behind your back lets says you're inside watching tv right? and your dog is outside doing his business and the dog decides hey i'm gonna jump or dig through the fence. would the app alert you if your dog has escaped?

They need to partner with more cell services to give people options

Can this be bundled with multiple animals? Meaning several collars, all tracked in one app?

I lost my beloved dog last year when he ran away from a wildfire and I have no idea if he died or survived. With this collar at least I have peace of mind that I will be able to know where my new dog is at all times.

Nice review and nice idea , but I always think of someone finding my dog and just taking the collar off and breaking it and keeping the dog for themselves.

Just got it♡

A month an a half? I was thinking it would be like my Samsung watch and I'd have to charge it every day!
Great review BTW! I'm in China and there are tons of fireworks and my Dog took off last night for the second time this year (New Year's was the first, July is the second, so not too bad overall, but ya I'm looking into a tracking collar for her and this review gave a great over view of what I should be looking for.

Just bought one after scouring reviews! This one is the best. We just a border collie pup she’s insane lol. A bit skittish so this is peace of mind for me. Thanks so much for helping make up my mind. Appreciate it.

One major con I can say is I despise subscriptions for stuff like this, it’s like paying your dogs phone bill…you also have to pay the price of the collar. With an activation fee. Which was $212 + $3-$4 a week fee for either 6months or a 2 year plan. The collar itself sounds great, but they would have been better with having people pay the $212 and that’s it, or a monthly subscription. But both is greedy…one or the other.

This is a really helpful review - you covered all the bases. Thanks!

I wish you would have talked about pricing

Interesting

I love the collar but it definitely feels strange basically paying my dogs phone bill every month. Worth mentioning the cost and subscription price imo

I've owned 3 Fi's, one of which is the latest Series 3. I take my dog with me everywhere and am disappointed the it frequently doesn't notify me that my dog is away from home until 10 minutes after we leave. Trying to follow where we have been has not once ever looked like your map. So perfect going up and down each street, when mine jumps around like a bunch of z's. I have to admit that I really thought that series 3 would be so much better that series 2 I was using. Disappointed!

I just bought the Series 3 large for my 40 lb mixed hound after she escaped from a boarder. I was very luck to find her running down a busy road in traffic far from where she escaped! (The medium collar was just a little tight.) My only comment so far is that the collar is heavier than I expected. I decided on the Fi because of the advertise battery life - hope it holds up!

We just recieved our fi colllar for one of our dogs and we absolutely love it! We love the collar and the sleek design as well as the step and activity tracking, sleep tracking and real time gps. Its super reliable !

If people have the first gen, they could just use a harness or second collar to be what they attach a leash to, if they are worried about pull and breaking this expensive collar. That's what I'd do to just preserve the new version anyways.

I think my favorite new feature is the fact that I can easily change the collar itself, but keep the GPS tracker. The series 2 had the gps tracker sewn into the collar, making it difficult to switch out. Series 3 lets me swap collars with ease.

great review!

Thanks much - well done - any recommendation on where to purchase?

Do they have just a GPS ONLY version with LTE? All the other stuff is unnecessary. DTM

Do these ever go on sale? Is there a discount if a current customer refers you?
Thank you for the helpful review!

How many users can be on the same account?

Hello! Great review, very well made video.

Had a couple question not mentioned in the reviews I have watched.

Does it have the training beep/vibrate?

My phone coverage is pretty poor when I go outside of the city such as camping. Is that going to make this device useless for me if my phone has no connection?

Great review. What a beautiful dog.

So helpful thank you.

I have series 1. Is there a trade in option?

I have the series 2. Im wondering if its worth twice the yearly cost?

Thanks for the great review... I used TractiveGPS for dog before but had to recharge every 2 days (very annoying)... but one of the cool features was that it was possible to send a signal sound on the collar, so when my dog came out of the safe zone, I would just beep his collar and he would come running back... Is that possible with this collar? maybe you forgot to mention this feature...

great breakdown and review. I'll be buying this for my dog who just escaped and gave me a heart attack!

also half the time the battery life doesnt update on the app, the network unlinks

mine gets only 1 full week of battery, friday i have to recharge for the weekend

Great video, thanks for the information! I purchased one of these last night waiting for it to come now. I have two dogs, one is a 13lb yorkie mix and one is a 18 lb Chiweenie. Do you think the small size color would be ok for the smallest one? Just curious if this will be too heavy. Thanks!

Nice review! Is Penny part cattle dog? She's a beaut!
