Would your dog benefit from a FitBark?
Some of the first wearable digital equipment for dogs was merely for tracking in case they became lost. This has now extended to devices which can monitor your dogs activities and even sleep in great detail.
FitBark is one of these products and it boasts some hefty information output. You can monitor your dogs activities, how long she sleeps, set goals, gather points towards those goals, compare progress and much more. Perhaps you have used it to gather stats on what your dog is up to when you are not around or would like a before/after comparison to find out whether their separation anxiety has reduced since introducing measures to treat it.
Not only can you peruse the stats of your dog’s movements but you can also compare them against other dogs of the same breed that are also using this equipment. The tool is motivating for the human who has the bonus of syncing the unit with their smartphone via Bluetooth (you need internet connection for this). The idea of this product is to keep both of you active and healthy. One of the many benefits promoted to owners is being alerted to your dog’s health e.g. if there is a change in activity output even though your routine with her has not changed.
The unit comes with a 60 day money back guarantee and you can check them out at
