In The News: High-Tech Dog Collars

Help! I've Fallen And I Don't Want To Get Up!

Help! I've Fallen And I Don't Want To Get Up!

You can already buy a onesie that monitors your baby’s vital signs – Why not a collar that does the same for your dog? Boston’s local CBS affiliate WBZ Channel 4 profiled a Massachusetts company this week aiming to do just that.

Based in Burlington, PetPace offers a collar that syncs with an app, allowing you to monitor your dog’s heart rate, temperature, breathing, and activity levels from anywhere. The app will even alert you to any abnormalities. Check out the full story below (Warning: Video features adorable pug!):

While obviously not a substitute for regular checkups, PetPace offers owners peace of mind. Everyone has to leave their animals alone sometimes (Yes, even dog walkers), and being able to know that your pet is healthy even when you are not physically there to check on them seems like a huge benefit. According to the PetPace website, you can even share your pet’s data with their vet!

What do you think? Have you tried PetPace? Would you? Let us know!
