just a heads up that PetTracker addon seems to be unsupported now but there’s a better option.
I’m using " Battle Pet Completionist" addon now and it dose the same thing and more.
heres the features
Features
- Displays the locations of all pets.
- Filter the list of pets shown (in the options dialog)
- Updates the tooltip for pets in the auction house (and pet cages in general), to show the source of the pet.
- Create TomTom waypoints by shift clicking a map pin.
- Work together with your party to capture pets (see Teamwork below).
I use this when shoping on the AH to see the source of the pets there and also for pet id

Why do you say that? Jaliborc is always slow with PetTracker. Possibly because of all the data that has to be added from the new zones, that often isn’t finalized untol late.
Until I hear otherwise, I expect an update Soon™-ish.
Ofc, a new pet addon is always of interest. I’m trying the addon Pet Collector myself, which is in development by one of the Discord members.

Sounds interesting. I haven’t used either one of those…how well do they work with Rematch and BattlePet Breed ID? Or would it be bloat with all of them?
Well, Pet Collector covers much the same ground as Pet Tracker, with the addition of a screen that lists today’s opportunities to get Charms and Blue Stones from WQ.
And from what I gather, Battle Pet Completionist covers pretty much that same ground.
So there isn’t really much overlap.
If you look at the overall pet gameplay, you’ve got
- Acquisition, Wild (Pet Tracker, these new ones)
- Acquistition, Drops and other
- Breed Display (Battle Pet Breed ID)
- Roster and Team Management (Rematch)
- Battle (Derangement’s, Pet Tracker’s modules, Battle Pet Battle UI Tweaks)

For those who are interested, it looks like PetTracker has been updated at Curseforge

Thankfully it has. I tried Battle Pet Completionist, but I didn’t like the fact that I couldn’t hide the pets I’d already collected on the map. Or, at least, I couldn’t figure out how to do that.

Is there a way to turn the map icons on and off when you need to? I don’t want my map constantly cluttered by them all the time. Only when I’m looking for certain pets.
If I recall correctly, you can configure which wild pet icons show on the map. I haven’t used it in a while (since I got all of DF’s wild pets relatively early, and then the addon stopped working), but I’m pretty sure the icon display can be filtered by the name of the pets, at least.

I have not been able to see how to configure Pettracker which makes it not workable for me.
The addon you’re suggesting doesn’t actually do everything Pettracker did - the great thing about Pettracker was the in-fight options, which i have yet to see in another addon.
It’s down again - within the last week or so; glitches out during a fight, at the point you need to swap pets…
Can’t find that addon “Pet Collector”. I’d like an addon that shows where today’s charms and stones are – if anyone has the proper name or a link I’d appreciate it.
Its test version in the WarcraftPets Discord, in the #addons channel.

Lately Pet Tracker is always causing bug issues with other addons has for me for months…right now if I have it on it won’t let me bring in my next pet during a pet battle…it has made a huge issues with my map being out of place meaning way too big and I can’t move it …it fills my whole screen and the edges are way out of scope of my monster …
I don’t know if it would help, but the addon has been updated twice now this month. Latest update was 5 days ago. (Although the pet switch after death issue is still marked as open.)
someone suggested reverting to the last version (11.1.1), havent tested it yet to see.
edit–yes reverting to version (11.1.1) works fine
I always check for updates for my addons daily before logging into the game…habit of mine…I just keep it off now cause it does give me an issue with my full size map and has now for few months…

the issue with the map, is it maximized? and did you have this issue with all prior releases?
I ask because i have not had this map issue you speak of, so it may be another addon causing conflict maybe?
Run Buggrabber and see if it spits something out

The only issue I’ve had with Pettracker is with the switching pets on death during a fight, which is resolved by turning off Switcher in the addon. I haven’t had any issue with my map being too large. That’s being caused by another addon.
