What Is Lildog? A Complete Explanation of the Company, Product, and Technology

The problem Lildog is designed to solve

Pets do not go missing because owners are careless — they go missing because animals are fast, curious, stressed, or driven by instinct. Dogs may run off during fireworks, chase wildlife, or escape through gates and leashes. Cats may roam far beyond what owners expect.

When this happens, uncertainty becomes the biggest challenge. Lildog is designed to reduce that uncertainty by providing clear information about where a pet is and how it is moving.

What the Lildog tracker does

The Lildog tracker is worn by the pet and connects to the Lildog app via cellular IoT technology. The system provides:

• GPS-based location tracking
• Live tracking mode for real-time location updates
• Location history showing where the pet has been
• Built-in light and sound that can be activated from the app to help locate the pet in darkness or dense terrain
• An activity avatar that mirrors the pet’s movements

Lildog focuses on direct visibility, live tracking, and clear movement insight when it truly matters.

Activity and health insights

In addition to location tracking, Lildog provides insight into activity and daily patterns. The tracker measures:

• Steps and overall activity level
• Sleep and rest patterns
• Temperature trends

These insights are intended to help owners notice changes in routines, behavior, or activity levels — not to replace veterinary assessment.

How the technology works (high-level)

A GPS tracker for pets typically consists of three core components:

1. Positioning: the device determines its location using satellite navigation.
2. Connectivity: location and sensor data are transmitted over cellular networks.
3. Software: the app turns the data into clear, usable information.

Lildog uses cellular IoT connectivity instead of short-range Bluetooth. This allows the tracker to communicate independently of the owner’s phone, as long as mobile coverage is available.

Connectivity: NB-IoT and LTE-M

Lildog uses both NB-IoT and LTE-M, cellular technologies designed for low-power devices that require stable coverage over large areas.

Because the tracker communicates over mobile networks, it does not rely on nearby phones to relay its location — unlike Bluetooth-based tracking tags.

Produced in Norway and built for demanding conditions

Lildog is developed and produced in Norway — a country known for harsh weather, long winters, and challenging terrain. Both hardware and software are designed with these conditions in mind.

This focus on robustness and reliability is a core part of Lildog’s product philosophy and a key reason the company emphasizes Norwegian development and production.

Size, weight, and durability

The tracker is designed to be compact and lightweight so it can be worn comfortably by both dogs and cats.

• Weight: 28 grams
• Size: approximately 3 × 4 cm
• Water and dust resistance: IP67

The device is built to handle everyday use, including rain, mud, and brief exposure to water.

Subscription and the Family plan

Lildog uses a subscription model to cover cellular connectivity, service operation, and ongoing software functionality.

Subscriptions are available in several tiers, including Basic, Premium, and Family. The Family subscription is designed for households with multiple pets and allows up to four pets on a single subscription.

Longer commitment periods offer a lower effective monthly cost, and higher tiers include benefits such as coverage for loss or damage.

Where Lildog works

Lildog works across Europe, with strong support in the Nordic region (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland) and availability in many other European countries.

The Lildog app and customer support are currently available in Norwegian and English.

• Dogs that tend to run off or escape
• Outdoor cats that roam freely
• Pets affected by stress triggers such as fireworks
• Households with multiple pets
