Lost air tag without “find” feature

I put an air tag on my dog’s collar. I just realized it came off his collar. The Find My app says he’s at home. I have an iPhone XS Max so the “find” option is not avail for tracking. Also it will not connect to play the sound. Any advice on how to find this?? I’ve walked all around my home and cannot get the sound to play.

Thank You

Can you use an AirTag to find your dog? Can the tracker thing be used to find a dog if you put it in a waterproof bag on the dog’s collar? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Is it possible for two iPhones to track an air tag? My wife and I put an air tag on our dog's collar. Is it possible for both of our iPhone's to be able to track? So far, we only have one iPhone tracking our dog. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

AirTags "found" but not found Hi, I'm curious about what might be going on with a missing AirTag. This tag was attached to my dog's collar--but he was running outside of our house and lost the collar somewhere. It can't be too far from our house and the strange thing is that I keep seeing the tag's location on the "find my" app...looking at the map, I see the "found item" at an address down the street from me--it appears to be on the sidewalk or perhaps in the road itself. But the address itself changes, from 200 yards away from me to 450 yards, and back and forth, over time. I walk down there to whichever address is currently on the map and try to play the sound, but then it says the AirTag is "not reachable." I've written the collar off as lost, unless one of the neighbors finds it somewhere, but I'm just very curious about what might be going on. This does not match how I think I understand AirTags to work. Thanks--

Crazy, but I did just find it. It was in the street and had been run over! So would no longer play sound but appears that GPS still functioning!! Wow! The “ping” showed a couple houses down on my iMac so that’s how I found it. My phone just showed here at my house.
