Pet Pace Collar
Pet owners are worried about getting their furry friend the right diet and exercise. Now, thanks to technology, there are trackers for your pet to check things like steps taken, respiration, heart rate and much more.
The electronic collar offers a lot of data, some of which you may not need or even want. But veterinarian Jeff Werber points out that information goes directly into the app, which you can then show to your pet’s vet if needed.
“Sometimes you take your pet to a veterinarian. Their pulse is racing their respiratory rate is higher because they’re nervous, they’re excited,” Dr. Werber says.
The device detects low normal and high range and will alert you when there is a major change. Dr. Werber says that it is good for your vet to know how your pet is doing at home.
There’s another tracker called the Whistle 3. Dr. Werber likes this one because it is part GPS and part nanny cam.
“You can set a perimeter, and if your pet goes outside that perimeter, you’re going to get that alert,” Dr. Werber says.
Both collars have a small monthly fee. The Pet Pace collects more data and costs about $200. The Whistle 3 offers GPS and activity tracking and costs around $80.
