Why your Pet needs a Wearable - Location, Health and Activity

The Benefits of Tracking Your Pet’s Location, Health and Activity

As pet parents, we want to ensure our furry friends are happy, healthy, and safe. But how can we truly know what’s going on with our pets when we’re not around or when they can't tell us what they need?

Enter the world of pet wearables—devices designed to bridge the communication gap and provide us with invaluable insights into our pets' well-being. 

In this post, we’ll explore why every pet needs a wearable and how Waggi, the next generation of pet wearables, can help you monitor and enhance your pet’s health and activity.

The Growing Importance of Pet Wearables

Just like humans, pets benefit from regular health monitoring. Wearables like WHOOP, Apple Watch, and Fitbit have revolutionized how we track our own health and fitness, but our pets deserve the same level of care. We see numerous pet location trackers in the market but now thanks to Waggi, we have a true pet wearable, helping you to keep tabs on your pets’ activity levels, health metrics, and even their mood—all from the convenience of your phone!

How Waggi Can Help Your Pet

Waggi is at the forefront of this technology, offering a suite of features that go beyond basic tracking. Here’s how Waggi can address some of the most common concerns pet owners face:

Missing Pets

One of the biggest worries for pet owners is the fear of a missing pet. Statistics show that 90% of dog owners have experienced their dog going missing, making it their number one concern. Waggi tackles this issue head-on with real-time location tracking, which allows you to locate your pet quickly without relying solely on someone else finding them or the limitations of local alerts and social media.

Preventing Obesity

Obesity is a significant issue among pets, with up to 54% of dogs aged 5-11 being overweight. This condition can severely shorten their lives, leading to various health complications. Waggi helps combat obesity by monitoring your pet’s activity levels and providing data-driven insights that encourage healthier habits. By tracking how much your pet is moving and ensuring they get the right amount of exercise, Waggi helps you take a proactive approach to their weight management.

Fitness Tracking

Maintaining the right balance of exercise is crucial for your pet’s health. Many pets either don’t get enough exercise or, in some cases, may over-exercise, leading to issues like joint pain. Waggi’s fitness tracking capabilities allow you to monitor your pet’s activity, helping you ensure they’re getting the right amount of exercise based on their breed, size, weight, and gender.

Pain & Anxiety Monitoring

Detecting pain and anxiety in pets can be incredibly challenging, as they often mask their discomfort. Waggi provides insights into your pet's behavior—such as sleep patterns, itching, and scratching—that can help you identify signs of discomfort early on. This allows you to take timely action to improve their well-being and ensure they live a happier, healthier life.

Waggi’s Key Features

Waggi isn’t just about location tracking (even thought our tracking capabilities are top class!) —it’s about enhancing your overall approach to pet care. Here are some of the standout features that make Waggi the ultimate pet wearable:
