Pebblebee Bluetooth Tracker Reviews 2025: An Expert’s Breakdown

Pebblebee Bluetooth Trackers
Our Final Verdict

We give Pebblebee Bluetooth Trackers an overall rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars.

Quality: 5/5
Reliability: 4.8/5
Accuracy: 4.8/5
Value: 5/5

Being a pet owner is no small feat. As much as you love your best bud, they can give you a run for your money, especially if they’re a runner or an escape artist. After all, there are few worse feelings than losing your four-legged soulmate, and few better feelings than knowing where they are at all times.

If you’ve experienced the dread of losing your pet (even for a few minutes), you might’ve considered getting a tracking device like the ones developed by Pebblebee. Pebblebee is an innovative company that makes tracking devices to help you find items that commonly go missing. While their products are often used to locate stationery items, like keys and wallets, they can also be used to keep an eye on four-legged family members and track their location.

I tested out Pebblebee’s products for my dog, Micah, and they’ve been handy gadgets to have. Not only do they provide real-time data about Micah’s location but they emit a tone to help me find him if he goes out of sight. If you’re looking for a reliable way to track your pet, Pebblebee’s trackers are a great option.

    About Pebblebee

    Pebblebee Bluetooth Trackers - unboxing with Micah

    What Is Pebblebee?

    Pebblebee is a tech company that makes tracking devices for personal items, like wallets, backpacks, and phones. The idea for the company was born in 2012 when a toddler’s knack for hiding important items inspired these aerospace engineers to create an easy way to find them. After a year of developing and testing their products, Pebblebee was founded with the mission to “Track What Matters Most”.

    Since their founding in 2013, Pebblebee has created several user-friendly smart trackers to help you locate your missing items, including the Pebblebee Clip, Tag, and Card. Whether you’ve lost your car keys, your wallet, or your four-legged friend, Pebblebee helps you stay connected to the important things in life.

    Who are Pebblebee’s Trackers Best Suited For?

    The devices are perfect for anyone who wants to track their furry friend’s whereabouts and are ideal if your dog has a habit of escaping your yard or bolting out your front door. Even if your pet is extremely well-behaved, these are great to use if you want to keep an eye on your pup and have peace of mind that they’re safe.

    Key Features

    Pebblebee Bluetooth Trackers - devices charging

    Dogs love having the freedom to explore, but letting them off-leash can come at a price if they wander too far. With Pebblebee’s trackers, you keep an eye on your pet from your phone and initiate an alert melody to help you find them if they go missing.

    How it Works

    All three devices function the same way–they’re rechargeable trackers that attach to whatever item you want to track and have recall features to help you locate the item if it goes missing. For pets, the trackers can easily be clipped onto their collar or slipped into your dog’s go-bag during travel.

    To use the tracker, download Pebblebee’s app and follow the in-app directions to create an account. After you log in, you’ll be prompted to add a device. To do so, place your phone near the tracker and click the Pebblebee logo button on the tracker twice. The device will beep, which lets you know it has been activated.

    At this point, you can complete the setup process through the Pebblebee app or hop over to the Apple Find My app or Google Find My Device app to finish adding the device to your phone. From there, you can track your pet’s location and use the alert features if needed.

    Tracking App

    There are a few ways you can track your pet depending on your network and personal preference, including:

    • Pebblebee app (iOS and Android)
    • Apple Find My app (iOS)
    • Google Find My Device app (Android)

    All three apps show a map of the tracker’s location and have several settings you can personalize based on your preferences. A few of these settings include sharing your pet’s location with a family member or friend and turning on notifications to alert you when the device is found. If your furry friend does go missing, you can use your phone to initiate a loud beep to help you find them or get directions to your pet’s location based on where the device is pinging.

    As an iOS user, I used Apple Find My for all three devices, and it worked great!

    Our Reviews of the Pebblebee Products We Received

    1. Pebblebee Clip

    Pebblebee Bluetooth Trackers - Pebblebee Clip

    The Pebblebee Clip has a circular design with a built-in hole at the top and comes with a carabiner-like ring for easy attachment. The hole is perfect for looping onto a traditional key ring and the carabiner is great for securing onto your dog’s collar. It also comes with a green LED light that lights up around the edge of the device when you charge it or pair it with your phone.

    Since the Clip is Pebblebee’s only product that comes with a keyring attachment, it’s one of the easiest to secure onto your pet. Because of this, it was my favorite device to use with Micah. Micah is a 54 lb Standard Goldendoodle and didn’t seem to mind wearing the tracker on his collar. However, it is bigger than traditional pet ID tags and might be a bit cumbersome for small pets.

    The Pebblebee Clip costs $29.99 for iOS and Android.

    Pros
    • Rechargeable
    • 12-month battery life
    • Snap-on keyring
    • Lightweight
    • Innovative design
    Cons
    • 500ft Bluetooth range

    2. Pebblebee Tag

    Pebblebee Bluetooth Trackers - Pebblebee Tag

    The Tag is Pebblebee’s smallest and most discrete device. It’s designed to stick onto items like remotes and slip into compact areas like a coat pocket. Because of its size, it’s perfect for attaching to small dogs and cats without being bulky. Since it’s Pebblebee’s only product to come with a silicone strap and double-sided adhesive tape, you can attach it to almost anything (pet collar, pet travel bag, dog backpack, etc.). It looks sleek too, which is a nice bonus!

    The tag was my second favorite because of how small and compact it is. The silicone strap looks nice on a dog collar, and the device is super lightweight. The only downside is the silicone strap doesn’t fit well on large dog collars. I had to find one of Micah’s thinnest collars to slide it onto, and even then, it was a tight fit. That said, I could see this being a favorite for anyone with small pets.

    The Tag costs $29.99 for iOS and $34.99 for Android.

    Pros
    • Track location
    • Loud melody
    • Emits LED light
    • 8-month battery life
    • Compact
    Cons
    • 300ft Bluetooth range

    3. Pebblebee Card

    Pebblebee Bluetooth Trackers - Pebblebee Card

    This is Pebblebee’s largest tracker and is designed to fit in narrow spaces like wallets, pockets, and bags. It comes with a magnetic charger and has LED lights on the front that light up when you pair it to your phone or charge it. Out of the three devices, the Card has the longest battery life (up to a year and a half on a single charge), which is impressive, especially since other trackers only last a few days.

    While this isn’t designed to attach to your pet’s collar, it’s the perfect tracker to keep in your dog’s travel bag or slip into a backpack when you’re on the go. I like putting the Card in Micah’s travel bag when I take him on road trips.

    The Pebblebee Card costs $29.99 for iOS and $34.99 for Android.

    Pros
    • Slim design
    • iOS and Android compatible
    • 18-month battery life
    • No subscription needed
    • One year warranty
    Cons
    • Can’t think of any!

    Our Experience With Pebblebee

    I have a Goldendoodle named Micah who loves to hike and go on solo adventures in my backyard (I live on several acres). Even though he’s great about checking in with me, he can disappear pretty fast. After hearing about Pebblebee, I was curious to see how their trackers would work in helping me keep an eye on him.

    I tried out the Pebblebee Clip, Tag, and Card, and all were amazing in their own way. They were easy to connect to my phone, and it only took a few minutes before all three were up and running.

    The Pebblebee Clip was the first tracker I tried and it ended up being my favorite. It was the easiest one for me to use since I could easily clip it onto Micah’s collar before going outside (the snap-on keyring was one of my favorite features!). I also love that it resembles an ID tag since it blends in with Micah’s tags and looks classy on his collar.

    Next, I tried the Pebblebee Tag. This is by far the most versatile tracker due to its small, compact size. Since it comes with adhesive tape and a silicone strap, it can be attached to just about anything you think of and is perfect for sliding onto a pet collar. The only drawback is the strap is too small to fit on thick collars. I was able to fit it onto Micah’s 1” collar (very snugly), but anything bigger than that would be too big. Small dogs and cats shouldn’t have a problem though!

    Last, I tried the Pebblebee Card. I love slipping the Card into Micah’s travel bag for road trips. This isn’t one I would attach to Micah since there’s not a great way to clip it on him, but it’s a great option to throw in any bag carrying your dog’s travel gear or pet essentials.

    When the trackers arrived, I initially planned to use them as a safeguard while hiking or traveling. But honestly, these are great gadgets to use every day. The devices are reliable, lightweight, and low maintenance, and they have a long battery life (8-18 months depending on the device, which honestly blew my mind).

    The app works great too. As an iPhone user, I like that Pebblebee works with the Apple Find My app. Through Apple Find My, I could track Micah’s location, set off a loud buzzer to find him, or get directions to his location if he wandered too far.

    When looking at cost, the devices range from $29.99 to $34.99 and are competitively priced compared to similar tech gadgets. They don’t require a subscription to use either, so you’re not locked into an ongoing expense, which is fantastic.

    Overall, I love having a way to check in on Micah’s whereabouts, and it gives me peace of mind to know his location if he goes out of sight.

    Conclusion

    Pebblebee’s mission is to help people stay connected to what matters most, and that’s exactly what Pebblebee’s tracking devices allow you to do. The Tag and Clip are small enough to attach to your dog’s collar and the Card is perfect for slipping into a bag of pet essentials. You can track all the devices from your phone, and initiate a sound and light to help you locate your furry friend if they go missing. I love having a way to track Micah and nothing beats the peace of mind it gives me to know where he is and that he’s safe.
