Fitting the Collar Properly

How to Properly Fit the petTracer Collar

A correct, snug fit is essential to ensure the collar is safe, comfortable, and able to function as designed. Please take a moment to follow the steps and videos below.

Why Proper Fit Matters

The Adjustment Band includes a tested safety buckle that opens if your cat pulls against the collar after getting caught on something.

This prevents injury by releasing under tension. If the collar is too loose, however, it can:

• slip over your cat’s jaw

• fail to activate the safety buckle (because no or inadequate force is applied directly to the safety buckle)

This is why the collar must sit securely around your cat’s neck.

How Tight Should the Collar Be?

For a correct fit:

• Only one finger (max. 2 cm) should fit between your cat’s neck and the collar

• The collar should stay in place and sit close to the neck all the way around.

• Avoid bending or forcing the collar into a smaller shape - this may damage internal electronics

Minimum Weight and Size

The recommended minimum weight for a cat to wear petTracer is 3 kg.

The collar should NOT be used on cats with a neck size below 19 cm. The inlay band should be used to reduce the collar’s circumference if your cat’s neck size is below 21.5 cm. Many cats need to wear the inlay band to get a perfect fit. You can purchase one from here

Important: If the collar still cannot achieve a snug fit even with the inlay band, we do not recommend your cat wears petTracer at this point. You can always contact us as needed.

Adjustment Band Care

Over time, repeated triggering of the safety buckle may reduce its effectiveness.

If the buckle has opened several times, we recommend replacing the Adjustment Band with the spare included in your Set.
