How can I find my lost dog with an AirTag?

If you lose your dog wearing a HisoTag collar with its AirTag beacon, you'll be notified immediately on your iPhone . You can find your lost dog for free with the "Find My" app on your iPhone.

Each AirTag contains an ultra-wideband chip. These new chips transmit more data than Bluetooth or GPS combined, and at a higher speed. This means you'll be able to pinpoint your pet's exact location.

"An AirTag on your pet is like a microchip, but with superpowers."

AirTag vs. GPS

Millions of cats and dogs get lost every year, decide to go on a solo adventure, or get stolen or run over.

These figures are worrying, especially considering how much joy our furry friends bring us every day. It is our responsibility to keep them safe.

To track your pet, you have two options:

1. The Apple AirTag Necklace
2. GPS Tracker

Here are the differences between the two solutions and their advantages and disadvantages.

1. Advantages of Apple's AirTags :

• Modern ultra-wideband technology
• Community help
• All phones (iPhone and Android) can scan the AirTag and contact you
• Battery life: 1 year
• No reloading required
• Works in all countries without needing a SIM card.
• Airtag is small, lightweight, and waterproof.
• Works with the "Find My" app on your iPhone - no need to download another app
• Can locate your dog to the nearest centimeter.
• No paid subscription required to track your pet.
• Water and dust resistant according to IP67 standard

Disadvantages of Apple's AirTags :

• You need an iPhone to use it

2. Advantages of the GPS tracker :

• Worldwide coverage (with a paid SIM card plan, however)
• Unlimited range without relying on other devices, when GPS is connected.
• Real-time location
• Most GPS trackers have an IPX water resistance rating.
• 24-hour location history (rapidly reduces battery life)

Disadvantages of GPS trackers :

• Paid monthly subscription + SIM card
• Poor indoor operation and connection problems in bad weather or overcast skies.
• Requires downloading an application
• Large GPS tracker
• Short battery life of 2 to 5 days
• Recharge the GPS every day so the battery doesn't run out while your dog is lost.
• No NFC tag to scan and contact you

Which solution should you choose to track your pet?

If you live in an urban area and have an iPhone, we recommend using Apple AirTag . Most dogs, at some point, encounter people during their solo adventures. In this case, you'll be able to know exactly where your dog is, even if they're inside a building.

AirTags are perfect if you want to be sure you can find your cat wherever it goes. As long as your cat encounters other people, you'll be able to locate your feline friend.

An AirTag on your dog is essentially a microchip for dogs, but with superpowers. If you decide to go for the AirTag Collar , we have the perfect collar for your companion. Discover the Hisotag Collar for dogs and cats by clicking on the image below.

GPS dog trackers might be a better choice for hiking or if you live in a remote rural area, as your dog is unlikely to encounter many other people in the mountains. However, be aware that GPS trackers only have a battery life of two to five days.

Furthermore, if your dog is overweight and you want to monitor its daily activity, a GPS tracker could help it get back in shape. However, a GPS dog collar is not suitable for small dogs or cats because it is too bulky and uncomfortable for your pet.

Which GPS collar should I choose?

Both systems have their advantages and disadvantages. What's best for your cat or dog largely depends on your specific use case. You can also use AirTags and GPS simultaneously.

It's important to emphasize that neither system can guarantee you'll find your cat. However, if your cat is lost, they significantly increase the chances of finding it. Pet tracking should only be used as a backup system. Therefore, please take all necessary precautions to prevent your pet from running away in the first place.

Can the AirTag collar replace the electronic microchip?

Using both increases the chances of finding your pet quickly.
Want to maximize your chances of finding your lost cat ? The AirTag does everything a microchip does, but better. Here's why we don't recommend replacing your microchip:

Microchips are the standard for finding your lost cat or dog , and it never hurts to have one. The worst thing that can happen? It won't help you find your lost cat.

We are confident that we offer the most comfortable and elegant solution for attaching an AirTag to your pet.

How does a microchip for dogs or cats work?

A microchip is a small RFID transponder containing a unique identification number. Implanting a microchip in a dog or cat requires a minor procedure, which can be performed by a veterinarian. This procedure is not dangerous for your pet.

If someone locates your lost pet and takes it to the vet or a shelter, they can scan the microchip with a special device and get your contact details.

Things to keep in mind

Before a veterinarian or animal shelter can scan the microchip and contact you, you must register the microchip with a national animal recovery service . When registering the microchip, provide at least two phone numbers. Be sure to use a service provider that has access to various microchip databases and technologies.

"Also remember that you must update your registration information if you change your phone number. However, if you do not register your microchip, it will be useless."

The microchip inside your pet can move. This means it can shift from its original position. This isn't dangerous for your pet, but the shelter or veterinarian searching for the chip might not be able to locate it.

Is the AirTag collar better than the electronic chip?

The AirTag has 2 use cases for your pet :

1. An AirTag is an electronic chip for dogs and cats, but with superpowers. Anyone with an iPhone or Android smartphone can scan the AirTag and get your contact information.

• The advantage: there is no need to go to a veterinarian or shelter because they can call you directly.
• Important: The AirTag owner must have an iPhone, but any phone can scan the AirTag and get your contact information.

2. Track your pet with the AirTag Collar, using Apple's "Find My" network.

If your dog isn't nearby and can't be located, you can activate your pet's AirTag in Lost mode . In this mode, any other Apple device will help locate your dog .

When your pet is found, you will receive a notification indicating your dog's exact location. This solution will work even faster in urban areas, where many people live.

Which solution should I choose?

As mentioned in our summary, we recommend using both an AirTag collar and a microchip on your pet to maximize the chances of finding your lost dog or cat . Using a microchip with an AirTag will guarantee success.

If we had to choose just one, we would obviously choose the HisoTag AirTag Collar because your cat or dog will be located before being identified with its microchip.

If you're looking to use an AirTag collar for your cat or dog, we have the perfect collar for you. Our waterproof HisoTag collar features a built-in pocket.
