A new partnership between a pet insurance company and a technology company designing advanced pet trackers and collars is bringing a new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered dog collar to market. The collar, called the Satellai Collar, offers insight into dogs’ behavior, energy levels, and rest patterns, in addition to having a customizable virtual fence.

"At Satellai, we believe technology has the power to enhance the lives of pets and their owners," said Mark Mao, CEO of Satellai, in a company news release.1 "Partnering with Fetch Pet Insurance enables us to reach more pet parents and provide them with advanced tools to monitor and support their pets' well-being.”

The collar has customizable training options to help train dogs to return to their owners when a tone is played. Moreover, the virtual fence can provide coverage of up to 100,000 acres with customizable vibration intensities and safe/danger zones.2

Additional features include2:

  • Real-time GPS tracking
  • A 5-day battery life with 2-hour charging time
  • Health monitoring
  • Escape alerts

Moreover, the product features a personal AI pet care assistant that offers advice on learning, training, diet, and health. The collar is also IP68-rated dustproof and waterproof, allowing the collar to withstand being submerged in water past 1 meter for a prolonged period of time.

"Our partnership with SATELLAI is a moonshot moment for pet health," said Paul Guyardo, CEO of Fetch Pet Insurance.1 "AI has long been hailed as the future of pet care, but real-world solutions have been slow to arrive. That changes today. The technology is real, it's here, and we can't wait for our community to experience what it can do."

According to the Satellai website, the smart collar uses 5 different satellite systems that can function in 180 countries with 680 network providers. It also provides an accurate location even in “complex terrains.”2

Still, the Satellai collar is not the only AI-powered dog collar to be launched. Last month, the smart pet technology company Fi introduced the Fi Series 3+: an AI-powered collar with GPS tracking and real-time behavioral and health insights.

The Fi Series 3+ offers AI detection for scratching, licking, barking, eating, and drinking, in addition to activity and sleep monitoring. According to the company, the collar’s insights into the user’s behavior are 80% accurate.3 Moreover, the app for the collar allows owners to upload documents such as veterinary records, bills, and insurance documents. An AI system then analyzes these documents to provide more insight into the dog’s health.
