How I observe my corgi with an Apple AirTag

The Apple AirTag could also be a jack-of-all-trades — individuals use it for retaining observe of keys, suitcases, backpacks, purses — however I believe probably the most logical use case for it, by far, is retaining observe of your pet. I connect it to my corgi Jelly’s collar by way of an identical silicone holder. Have I ever as soon as really wanted it to search out her, and do I believe she’d ever run off on me? No — she’s a reasonably loyal herding canine, so she likes to keep watch over her dad and mom — however identical to no matter else you might connect an AirTag to, there’s a major likelihood that the one time you really want it, you’ll be thanking God that you just had it. (Kind of like insurance coverage.)

I believe it’d be particularly helpful, too, for somebody who participates in off-leash hours on the park, or lets their canine roam free when in a brand new atmosphere (like a cabin weekend upstate). Even probably the most tried-and-true canine might be distracted by one thing they’ve by no means seen earlier than, run after it for a minute, after which discover themself unexpectedly misplaced; it occurred to one in every of my buddies a couple of months in the past. (The canine was discovered a couple of days later unhurt, however sadly, there was no AirTag on her collar.)

For me and Jelly, it’s even helpful after we’re aside as a result of it cuts down on pestering whoever is watching her. For occasion, once I was away for the weekend and knew her sitter had a busy day forward, I used to be in a position to verify in to verify Jelly was out on her stroll inside a sure variety of hours with out having to ship a single textual content.
