Hopefully we won't need to verify it's effectiveness

Appreciate that. I'm not an Apple user but your comment caused me do some googling and it turns out there are Android tags as well. Just picked two up and rolled them into the bandana our guys are always wearing as backups.

If you live in a rural area and plan let your dog run and want to track it a dedicated tracking collar with GPS would be best. Cost 10-20X

Appreciate you seconding the airtag. I checked out those dedicated collars you mentioned and they are quite big and bulky. Apparently designed for hunting dogs. It's weird how big they are. My Garmin watch is extremely accurate and a fraction of the size. I'm surprised they can't shrink that collar down. It's like a walkie-talkie strapped to a collar.

Thanks for tracking that down. Looks a lot cheaper than the fi collars we have. I'm going to order one and see how it goes. If it had decent accuracy and customer service, I'll switch them both over.
