5 Ways to Track Your Pet GPS Collars, Smart Tags and More

1. Apple AirTag. An Apple AirTag lets you keep track of your pets using the FindMy app, which you likely already have downloaded to keep track of your iPhone. The AirTag enables users to share the location with more than one person, to ensure there are multiple eyes on your fur baby. You can even get an AirTag holder which attaches securely to their collar, and keeps it safe from the elements.

2. Ring Pet Tag. You may already be familiar with the Ring brand for its home security cameras, but Ring’s Pet Tag makes sure your furry friends are safe, too. It gives real-time alerts regarding your pet’s location when someone scans their tag’s custom QR code. It shares a “profile” with photos, medical information, and more. And it doesn’t require any kind of subscription — it’s just the cost of the tag itself.

3. Halo Collar 4. In addition to tracking your pet, the Halo Collar 4 creates an invisible fence to keep them on your property (or whatever boundaries you create!). It’s water-proof and has a battery life of over 30 hours — then, once it dies, you can recharge it at home. Best of all, it comes in four distinct colors: pink, grey, blue and yellow, so you can pick your pet’s favorite shade.

4. Chipolo ONE Bluetooth Tag. Chipolo’s ONE Bluetooth tag can be “rung,” meaning it will make a sound when you contact it through the app (you can also use it to find your phone!).
