Tractive GPS Dog Tracker with Vital Signs Monitoring
The best-value LTE dog tracker you can actually buy in Canada, as long as you accept that the $76 hardware is a doorway to a monthly bill.
Best for: Owners of escape-prone dogs over about 4 kg (8.8 lb), rural and off-leash households, and anyone who wants nationwide live tracking rather than 60-metre Bluetooth range.

A lot of hopper and a usable camera for $159.99, held back by volumetric portioning and app reliability that's clearly hit-or-miss across owners.
Best for: Owners of one or two large dogs on dry kibble who want week-plus capacity, remote check-ins and voice reassurance without paying $250+ for a premium smart feeder.
