![]() It’s sleeker and comes with an extra battery pack. This came just as Whistle announced a new tracker called the Whistle Switch Smart Collar, which is designed for smaller pets, down to 5 pounds. You can still see this information in old online listings. ![]() While we were writing this piece, Whistle updated its product description to say the Whistle Go Explore is suited for pets 20 pounds and up the company had previously rated the Whistle as being for pets above 8 pounds. You may be able to buy a collar from a Fi-approved seller, but you can’t attach the Fi to any collar from your local pet store. The Fi is sold with its proprietary collars that are 1-inch wide, which are too bulky for smaller pets. Also, the Whistle is the only GPS device we tested that can be attached to any collar up to 2 inches wide. ![]() For example, the Tile Mate (2020) is rated IP55 and will withstand only a splash, rather than a prolonged mud-puddling. More than half of the trackers we found can’t say the same. It can also withstand an escaped dog’s romp in a mud puddle or swim in a river, thanks to its IPX8 rating (which means it’s waterproof and can be submerged in water up to a meter deep). We dropped it repeatedly from about 2 feet in the air, or the height of a large dog, and it never scratched, dented, or broke. The Whistle Go Explore is made of hard-wearing plastic.
