Find My pet trackers — Apple's network opens to third-party
“Find My-network pet trackers don't replace cellular trackers like Fi. They complement them. BLE + 1 billion iPhones crowdsourced relay works for finding a lost pet in a city. It doesn't work in rural areas, and it never tracks in real-time. For active outdoor tracking, cellular still wins.”

AirTag on Atom's collar — anti-stalking vs pet tracking
“AirTag's anti-stalking features are designed to alert an unsuspecting person that an AirTag is following them. When the AirTag is on your dog who's exited the geofence, your dog gets the 'someone is tracking you' chirp. Apple's design assumes the tagged entity is a person, and pet tracking breaks that assumption in interesting ways.”
