The case is reasonably sturdy for its price and does a good job of housing the tracker inside. It has a carabiner-style keyring, meaning you can easily remove it or put it on.

Typecase Store’s AirTag collar holder is one of the popular options on Amazon. Like its counterpart above, it snaps into the collar and does not hang. It’s washable and shockproof, which makes it easy to maintain in the long run. The tracker stays inside the holder even when your furry friend is super active, and several users have backed this as part of their reviews.
The tag stays well-covered, which makes it a tad difficult to lose. At the same time, the Besides that, the material is soft and flexible.
However, if your pet has a smaller collar, the holder may to be a little on the bigger side. That said, it fits most 1/2-inch collars and 3/4-inch collars well. Moreover, the fit is perfect, so it has earned its share of positive feedback from its user base.
4. Tilixi Pet Loop Holder
The Tilixi AirTag holder for dogs shares a similar design to the Hatalkin case, though this one is much cheaper. This one is made especially for smaller dogs, and so far, it has attracted a decent number of reviews primarily because of its build. The AirTag fits like a glove, which is one of the main reasons for its popularity. It’s worth noting that the snug fit makes the tracker difficult to pop.
Again, the opening is a tad on the bigger side and may not be suitable for pets who love slimmer collars or for larger breeds. It stays on and has worked remarkably well for super active dogs or dogs who enjoy rough play. Moreover, the tag holder is lightweight and shouldn’t bother your pet much.
5. KONITY AirTag Dog Collar
If you are looking for an AirTag holder embedded in a dog collar, you can’t go wrong with the one by Konity. Like most dog collars, you can select the size depending on the circumference of your pet’s neck. More importantly, the tag holder has a closed design, ensuring the tracker doesn’t fall off easily.
The open design has its disadvantage as well. For one, inserting the AirTag can be a little challenging. On the upside, you can rest assured that it won’t pop out during play sessions.
We have been using the KONITY AirTag dog collar on our co*cker Spaniel since last year and can vouch for its durable build.
Over the past year, the tracker has not popped out even during vigorous play sessions. Plus, there are no visible signs of wear and tear yet. Whenever needed, we wash the collar with mild soap after taking the AirTag out, and that’s about it.

7. Caseology Apple AirTag Case
If you want a heavy-duty tag holder, you can’t go wrong with the Caseology Vault. It’s affordable and brings home a clever design.

Furthermore, the metal carabiner makes it convenient to add/remove the tag holder as you like.
The holder is lightweight and slim, and the textures will give you a firm grip. However, it’s not strictly a tag holder for pets since it can be easily removed. If you have to use the tracker only when your pet leaves the compound from time to time, then it proves to be a good pick. Plus, if they have a history of picking at their name tags or other accessories on their collar, you may want to stay away from an AirTag holder that dangles from the collar.
So far, the Caseology Vault has received decent reviews from its user base. People love it for its durability, sturdiness, and affordable price tag. Plus, it has a snug fit and doesn’t come off at the drop of a hat.

It has a solid build, and several users have praised its durability and build quality. It holds the AirTag well and works great on dog and cat collars. It’s lightweight, and the odds are that our little furry friends won’t feel the weight.
Again, the usual rules apply— if your pet loves playing with their collar name tag, a dangling battery-powered tracker is not the best option. This Belkin key chain is available in three colors—black, white, pink, and blue
