Most importantly, if your dog is lost or stolen, relying on an Airtag to track them could give you a false sense of security, leading you to delay taking the necessary steps to locate and retrieve your pet. Airtags rely on the presence of an Apple device nearby in order to relay their location, which means that if your dog wanders too far away from anyone with an Apple device, you may not be able to locate them.Īdditionally, Airtags are not durable enough to withstand the rough and tumble of a dog's active lifestyle, and could easily fall off or break if they get caught on something. While Apple's Airtags may seem like a convenient and affordable option for tracking your pet, it's important to note that they are not designed for tracking your dog and may actually put your furry friend at risk. The short answer is no, you shouldn’t use Apple Airtags for your dog. Pet owners should understand the value of using a designated pet tracker to keep their pet safe. Too many people are relying on a device that was not intended to track their pet. In light of such statistics, it is important to understand your options as a pet owner to ensure your furry friends are safe.Īs the creators of the Fi GPS Smart Collar, we wanted to shine a light on pet owners using the AirTag to try and track their lost pet.
