Walking & Safety FAQ
Is a harness always better than a collar?
No single setup suits every dog. Consider body shape, size, behavior, activity and fit. Recheck equipment regularly for wear and changes in fit.
Can an AirTag replace a GPS dog tracker?
No. AirTag and dedicated GPS trackers work differently. An AirTag can support item location through Apple’s Find My network but should not be represented as continuous real-time GPS tracking.
Does a cooling vest make a hot midday walk safe?
No. A vest can support comfort but cannot make unsafe temperatures, hot pavement or overexertion safe. Timing, water, shade and environmental conditions come first.
