What pet owners have to say
"Android user here — no Apple device in my house. Set Miso up on Google Find Hub in ninety seconds, no third-party app, no subscription page. He slipped out the bathroom window Tuesday. Find Hub had his location three houses down before I'd even put my shoes on."
"July 4th. Penny bolted through the patio screen the second the fireworks started. My phone buzzed before I'd even processed what happened — I could watch her location move in real-time. Notification to her back on her bed: seventeen minutes."
"Fi was my first try. Wouldn't even pair — closest cell tower is nine miles out. Switched to DESPI in spring, set my whole property as the safe zone. The day Moose crossed the line my phone buzzed in ten seconds. Doesn't need cell — every iPhone driving past is enough."
"Bella's an 8lb dachshund — she barely tolerates anything on her collar. Two months in, she literally forgets she's wearing it. The silicone holder doesn't pinch her tiny neck like the leather AirTag holders did, and there's nothing dangling she could trip over."
"Nine months in. Not one subscription email. No 'oh by the way' fee. The tag sits on Husky's collar exactly where it did day one. I keep waiting for the catch — there isn't one. I paid $40 once and that's the whole story."
"Read every Reddit thread for two weeks before pulling the trigger. Cooper escaped the yard week three. Phone buzzed, located him in two minutes. I'm the guy on Reddit now telling people to just buy it."
Built to last. Built for pets.

"I've removed three AirTags from dog stomachs in the last two years. Generic $9 silicone clips tear, the AirTag pops out, the dog swallows the battery. DESPI's silicone holder is engineered specifically for the tracker — chew-resistant, sealed battery, zero pop-out risk. It hangs cleanly from the collar's D-ring like a standard ID tag. The whole failure mode just doesn't exist."

Real questions, straight answers.
Correct. Zero subscription. Ever. You pay once, you own it. No app fees, no annual renewals, no premium tiers. The Apple Find My and Google Find Hub apps are already on your phone — there's no DESPI app to install.
Open Find My (or Find Hub on Android), tap your pet's name, see them on a map. Behind the scenes: 3+ billion nearby phones silently relay your tracker's encrypted location to you. No app to install, no account to create, no cellular fee.
Yes — that's the whole point. DESPI doesn't need cellular. It rides the Apple Find My + Google Find Hub networks (every nearby phone is a passive relay). Forests, mountains, AT&T dead zones, parking garages — anywhere a smartphone exists. Fi and Tractive die where there's no cell tower. DESPI doesn't.
Three things. (1) DESPI's silicone holder is engineered specifically for the tracker — secure fit, the tracker doesn't slip out. AirTag goes into a generic $9 Amazon clip designed for "any 1.26-inch disc" — they crack, they pop loose, the AirTag falls. (2) DESPI works on Android via Google Find Hub. AirTag is iPhone-only. (3) DESPI has zero speaker. AirTags emit 85-105 dB sirens that damage pets' hearing. Same Find My network underneath, built for pets instead of luggage.
Cost: they charge $60-228/year forever. DESPI is $40 once. Coverage: they need cell towers (and die in dead zones). DESPI uses 3+ billion phones. Battery: theirs lasts 3-7 days between charges. Ours: 12 months. Risk: Fi and Tractive run on proprietary servers (Whistle shut down in August 2025 and bricked every device). DESPI runs on Apple and Google — there's nothing to shut down.
Yes. iPhone: Apple Find My (2.35 billion devices, app pre-installed). Android: Google Find Hub (1+ billion devices, free Play Store install). Pick one network at setup. Switching networks is possible via factory reset.
Yes — vets actually recommend it for cats. 7g (lighter than a metal ID tag), zero speaker (cats are profoundly noise-sensitive), and the silicone holder works with breakaway collars. The 12-month battery means no monthly disruption to a routine-driven cat.
No. Unlike Fi or Tractive (proprietary servers — can be killed; Whistle was, August 2025), DESPI runs on Apple and Google's networks. There is no DESPI server to shut down. Even if our company disappeared tomorrow, your tracker keeps working.
They tap their phone (any iPhone or Android) on the tracker — the NFC chip opens found.apple.com with your contact info instantly. No app to download, no account. The NFC works even when the tracker's battery is dead.
~12 months on a CR2032 (standard pet-safe coin cell). Find My alerts you ~7 days before it dies — no surprises. Replacement takes 30 seconds, no tools, no need to remove from the collar. CR2032s cost $3-5 anywhere.
Urban/suburban: updates every few minutes as phones walk past. Dense city centers: near real-time. Remote rural: depends on smartphone density. For 83% of US owners (urban/suburban), updates are frequent enough to track an escape live. For full real-time GPS everywhere all the time, you'd need cellular — and a $228/yr subscription.
~30-40 meters (100-130 ft) tracker-to-phone. But that's not the point. The network model means you don't need YOUR phone in range. Any of the 3+ billion smartphones near your pet relays its position to you instantly. You're not relying on Bluetooth distance — you're relying on smartphone density.
Yes — IP68 rated. Pool, creek, mud, daily rain, lakes — fully sealed.
~7-8 grams (tracker + silicone holder combined). Lighter than a standard ID tag. Suitable for cats and small dogs.
No. Zero speaker, by design. The 85-105 dB siren on AirTags terrorizes pets and damages their hearing. Pet safety > finding speed.
Yes — Made for iPhone (MFi) certified by Apple. Chipset is ACCUtag (Deep Orange Technology). Firmware updates ship via Find My / Find Hub.
Highly unlikely. The chew-resistant silicone holder is engineered around the tracker's exact form — it doesn't pop out under chewing or rough play. Generic AirTag holders ($9 Amazon clips) crack and release the AirTag. DESPI's silicone is purpose-built and several orders of magnitude tougher.
1 PetTag™ 2 tracker, 1 chew-resistant silicone holder (in your chosen color: Blue / Yellow / White / Black / Pink), 1 CR2032 battery (pre-installed), quick-start guide, NFC profile setup card, lifetime warranty card.
Yes. Just pull the isolation tab and the tracker turns on. Setup takes under 2 minutes.
No. iPhones already have Find My installed. Androids install Find Hub from the Play Store (free). No DESPI app, no account creation.
Ships from our US warehouse to all 50 states + 175+ countries. 3-5 business days within the US, 7-14 international. Free shipping on orders over $40 (DUO and PACK qualify automatically). PACK includes priority shipping.
100-day money-back guarantee. Try DESPI risk-free. If it's not for you, send it back within 100 days for a full refund — no questions asked.
Lifetime warranty — included. Housing, holder, and tracker replaced if defective, no questions asked. Not contingent on subscription (because there is no subscription).
Replacement at cost: $19.99 (vs $39.99 retail). Email us with your order # — we'll ship it. Lifetime warranty covers defects, not loss — that's a different category.
