  • Here's why you don't put an AirTag on your dog's collar

    Seems to me these “don’t put AirTags on your dog” articles are written by people who have an interest in selling pet GPS trackers or don’t securely attach them.  

    What’s the difference between putting it on a dog or a backpack.  The person needs an iOS device to ping the “Find My” network regardless of where the AirTag is attached.  It being attached to a dog is irrelevant.  

    Apple advises against it to simply eliminate any liability if a dog chews and swallows it, just like drug companies list all of the “possible” side effects of a medication.  

    My dog is microchipped and the data is up to date, but that only works if someone finds him and brings him to a vet who can read it.  If my dog is lost, I want every advantage to help find and recover him.
