Trust real experiences: How health monitoring is helping Tractive pet parents

Dogs instinctively hide pain, making it hard to spot health issues early. But like any dog owner, I want to know if my dog is unwell. That's why I rely on Tractive.

Tractive's smart dog tracker monitors my dog's vital signs, like her heart rate, detecting concerning changes I might miss, so I can check with my vet. And if she ever runs off, GPS tracking helps me find her fast.

Why Health Monitoring is important, according to a vet

Pets are great at hiding pain, so it’s not always easy to know if your four-legged friend is unwell. By knowing which signs to look out for, such as changes in their activity or sleep, pet owners can catch issues early on and talk to their vet.

Looking for answers? You've come to the right place.

Pets are adept at hiding pain and illness. When our pets are in pain, the signs they show tend to be very subtle and more behavior-related. Changes in their sleep, activity, or vital signs often show up before other more severe signs. With Tractive, being able to track these health indicators can help you spot irregularities sooner and intervene in time.

Your pet's tracker is a powerful device. With a built‑in accelerometer, it can detect when your pet is moving or sleeping. For dogs, it also tracks barking and scratching behavior. For both cats and dogs, it can also monitor their vitals, or resting heart and respiratory rate.

Your pet’s tracker establishes their baseline resting heart and respiratory rate after 7 days of consistent use. After this, we monitor your pet’s daily average vitals and compare them to the baseline so you can check the app and see if they’re within the normal range, lower, or elevated. If there are persistent abnormalities over several days, you'll receive a Health Alert.

In order to get Health Alerts for activity, your cat or dog must wear their tracker for at least 12 hours a day for 6 weeks. For dogs, they can also get Sleep Health Alerts by wearing their tracker overnight for 6 weeks. Health Alerts for vital signs (heart and respiratory rate) are activated after your pet has worn their tracker for a week and established a baseline.

If you don’t know what could be causing changes in your pet's behavior or vitals, and you notice other symptoms, it doesn't hurt to talk to your vet. You know your pet best, but Health Alerts can serve as an early warning system to help you detect hard-to-see signs.

This gives you a roundup of your pet's activity and sleep for the week. At the top, you'll get an AI-Powered summary based on your pet's health metrics. Your pet's report shows their daily average metrics such as active minutes, calories burned, sleep, and wakeups.

No, Tractive monitors your pet's behaviors and vital signs and if they change from day to day. We alert you to any changes or longer-term trends that might need your attention, but medical advice and diagnosis should always be sought from a veterinarian.
