AirTags are great, buy a couple and put them in your bag and wallet. But if you ever let your dog off the lead, in fact, if you ever go anywhere that’s further than 10 metres from other people, and if your dog is worth more than £35 to you, you’re going to need a different tracker. You need a purpose-made dog tracker like the PitPat Dog GPS Tracker, with its own built-in satellite receiver and its own independent mobile connection. That way, you’re not relying on other people’s mobile to find your dog. AirTags work by relying on the massive number of iPhones out there, but they don’t even have their own connection to a mobile phone network, instead, they rely entirely on any passing iPhone. In a local park surrounded by houses and people, the AirTag was detected about once or twice a day, which would be much worse for a dog that was properly lost out in the country. With PitPat GPS, you’ll get a quick and accurate first fix followed by real-time updates every 10 seconds while you quickly run towards them and rescue them.
