Keep Your Dog Close This Holiday Season: Top Trackers That Help
The holidays bring more visitors, open doors, and distractions—making it easier for a beloved family dog to slip outside unnoticed. Each year, thousands of pets go missing during gatherings or winter festivities, and cold weather can make the situation even more dangerous.
To protect your pup, consider investing in a reliable tracking device. Here are three top options:
Apple AirTag – Affordable, lightweight, and great for dogs who stay within Bluetooth range of an iPhone network.
Fi Smart Collar Series 3 – Uses GPS and cellular service for live tracking across the U.S. It also monitors activity and escape alerts.
Halo Collar 4 GPS Dog Fence & Tracker – Premium pick: dual-frequency GPS for higher accuracy, supports virtual “safe-zone” fences and training features.
Before guests arrive, remind family members to keep doors closed, ensure your dog’s ID tag is current, and confirm microchip information is up to date.
If your dog does go missing, post on PawBoost.com—a free, nationwide pet recovery network that alerts local shelters, rescue groups, and Facebook communities to help bring pets home faster.
A few small steps—and a smart tracker—can make the difference between panic and peace of mind this winter
