Bluetooth tags track your pet’s location. They alert you if they wander too far.

[{"selector":"#anim-1bf8fed5-bcb8-4a8e-8206-2801d9257199 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(23.90756286688219%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-135b705f-a519-4e47-b980-2748c838726b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9812ebca-0770-47ab-bf4a-b1d493e8876c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(106.37119%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Traditional tags wear out and have limited space. They’re hard to update.

Bluetooth tags work best in open spaces with strong connections.

QR tags might raise privacy worries. But, good companies keep your info safe.

But, always check if they can handle rough play and weather.

Many smart tags are tough and weather-resistant. They’re good for active pets.
