Never worry about losing your pet again with one of Nine Twenty Eight’s new AirTag dog collars. The family-run Canadian retailer — new to the Cult of Mac Store — designs the collars with a double-stitched slot for an AirTag, which is included with some models.

That way, you have a secure, comfortable collar for your pooch that also lets you use Apple’s AirTag tracking technology to help ensure he or she never gets lost.

Nine Twenty Eight also makes cat collars, but currently the lineup in the Cult of Mac Store is a selection of small, medium and large dog collars — and personalization is an option on the medium and large sizes!

Nine Twenty Eight AirTag dog collars include option for personalization on larger sizes

The company’s dog collars are reinforced with two security latches to make sure the AirTag is always secure. Each collar’s exterior is made with real leather for durability. The interior is lined with a soft microfibre material to make sure your pet is not only secure, but also comfortable.

The company said the Airtag Dog Collar has been thoroughly tested in heat, rain and snow to make sure the collar, Airtag and, most importantly, your dog is always secure.

The way an AirTag works with your Apple device, if your dog goes missing, you can see the pup’s last known whereabouts as soon as it passes someone else’s Apple device. If someone finds the lost dog, they can tap on the collar using their iPhone or any NFC-capable device to see a website displaying your contact information, if you have provided it.

Now Personalizable

Nine Twenty Eight said the medium and large collar can now be personalized with pet names or other information. The company asked that you double-check the neck size of your dog before ordering, as personalized options cannot be exchanged. But the one year manufacturer warranty still applies to all personalized items. Regular items also have a 30-day return or exchange policy.
