AI-powered pet collar allows data sharing with veterinarians

PetPace has introduced a new smart collar for dogs and cats that allows users to share data with veterinarians. The collar, V3.0, provides biometric monitoring and clinical-grade vital signs, as well as free access to veterinary telehealth and telemedicine through live chat and video.¹

According to the company, the device allows veterinarians to monitor chronic disease, treatment protocols, and post-procedure recovery. It also supports virtual consultations and telemedicine services when a doctor–patient relationship exists.

This latest generation is also testing a feature that allows for epilepsy episode monitoring, which records seizure events in dogs and provides veterinarians or neurologists with data to support diagnosis and treatment planning, PetPace said in a news release announcing the product’s launch.

Users and veterinarians can access pets’ health data through the company’s app. The app is also available on the Apple Watch, where users can access all functions and receive real-time alerts for vital signs such as heart rate, respiration, temperature, and trends.

According to PetPace, the device is able to detect and quantify pain in pets through medically-activated artificial intelligence and machine learning. “Our advanced Pain Score technology identifies subtle signs of discomfort before they become visible,” wrote PetPace in its release.¹

In its launch announcement, PetPace said the collar uses analytics on millions of behavioral and physiological data points each day. “Activity alone is insufficient for assessing health,” Asaf Dagan, DVM, co-founder and chief veterinary scientist, said in the release.¹ “Only real-time physiological data—like temperature, pulse, heart rate variability, and respiration—can accurately reveal what’s happening inside the animal’s body. It’s an exceptionally valuable tool in the hands of the vet and the pet owners in improving the health and well-being of pets.”

“This isn’t just a new version—it’s a colossal transformation in pet healthcare,” said Lior Abraham, general manager of PetPace.¹ “PetPace V3.0 doesn’t just monitor—it thinks, learns, and protects, helping prevent unnecessary suffering and improving quality of life and longevity. The PetPace collar is making history—delivering predictive data that transforms virtual care and sets a new standard in telehealth and telemedicine.”

The V3.0 collar is not the only device PetPace has launched in recent years. Last year, the pet health wearable technology company launched a system called the Pregnancy Monitoring Module that uses AI and machine learning algorithms to monitor dogs throughout their pregnancy lifecycle. The device alerts dog owners of any negative health indicators and gives users a 10-day to 12-hour window before labor begins.²
