Smartwatch wearable devices have been used for years to monitor and track our health data, including activity, sleep, and heart rate. In recent years, innovative pet technology has allowed owners to track their pet's movements and behaviors.

Using collar-worn wearable devices lets pet owners look closer at their pet's health, measuring signs of conditions such as dermatitis and observing how scratching behavior changes in response to diet. These pet technologies also provide valuable data 24/7, even when pet owners are not home, leading to a complete health picture for pets and a more straightforward diagnosis for veterinarians.

Many companies are working tirelessly to improve the capabilities of this industry. Don’t miss these six pet tech startups innovating pet healthcare.
