Wearable Tech for Pets!


It’s not only humans who need some tender loving care but pets too! A smart collar for dogs and cats has been created that tracks the animal’s vital signs.

The pet wearable device enables continuous tracking of a range of vitals as well as any health-related behaviour. It keeps tabs on pets’ temperature, heart rate, body posture, calories burned and many others. It also comes with a smartphone application that pet owners, veterinarians and pet-care professional can use to monitor vitals before each appointment. It can also be used as a predictive device telling pet owners when it may be necessary to take their pets to the clinic.

Aside from keeping track of vitals and monitoring behavioural changes, it can also be used to keep track of pets that are in recovery stage or recently discharged from care. Vets can monitor the progress and identify any adverse reactions as soon as they develop.

As our love for pets keep growing, the American Pet Product Association, estimated $47.7 billion was spent on pet products and services in 2010. And since 1988, having pets at home has increased from 56% to 62% and 46% of their households have more than one pet.

With these new pet-health wearable devices, taking care of man’s best friend has never become more handy, efficient and convenient with the help from technology.

Would you buy a smart collar for your pet? Let us know your thoughts.

Have a great weekend!
