12 Best AirTag Pet Collars & Accessories in 2022

First launched in April of last year, AirTag is a technology developed by Apple to track devices and things that can get easily lost or stolen (eg, keys, wallets, laptops, bicycles). However, when customers started realizing they could throw these on members of their own families (dogs and cats, mostly).

AirTag doesn’t use GPS technology, but a combination of Bluetooth and proprietary Find My service. If your pet goes outside of your own Bluetooth range, the signal from its AirTag will utilize the GPS signals from surrounding iPhones to pinpoint its location for you to see on your own device. And if someone with an iPhone picks up your pet, he or she can tap into its AirTag and use their own app to access the information you’ve uploaded there, such as your name, phone number, and address. Moreover, the AirTag chip itself is water-, dust-, and splash-resistant out of the factory.

Whereas GPS often requires a paid cellular plan of some kind, AirTag is completely free (so long as you have an iPhone to use it). Likewise, the ability to triangulate your pet’s location through other users’ iPhones makes AirTag the optimal choice if you live in a city with not many dead spots. However, if you’re in a more remote area surrounded by hills and mountains and other areas where your dog or cat can stray off the grid, GPS might be worth the extra trouble, since the lack of iPhones and cell coverage will ensure that he or she remains lost.
