Fitbark

FitBark is a company that produces GPS and activity trackers designed for dogs. These devices aim to provide pet owners with insights into their dog's health and well-being. The trackers monitor various metrics including activity levels, sleep patterns, distance traveled, and calories burned. Data is collected and can be accessed through a companion mobile application. This application allows users to set activity goals for their dogs, monitor progress over time, and compare their dog's activity to breed and age averages. Some FitBark models also include GPS tracking capabilities, allowing owners to locate their dog if it strays. The company emphasizes the importance of understanding a dog's daily routine and activity for early detection of potential health issues. FitBark devices are typically worn on the dog's collar and are designed to be durable and water-resistant. The data collected is intended to empower owners to make informed decisions about their dog's exercise, diet, and overall care. The service often involves a subscription for full access to historical data and advanced features.
