Problem
Pet owners often struggle to understand their dogs' emotional states and activity levels, hindering their ability to provide optimal care and address potential health issues proactively. Traditional methods of monitoring a dog's well-being can be subjective and lack detailed, real-time data.
Solution
Petpuls offers a smart collar that uses AI-powered voice recognition to identify a dog's emotions, providing owners with insights into their pet's feelings and activity. The collar analyzes canine vocalizations to determine emotional states and uses an accelerometer to track activity levels, providing data on distance traveled, speed, and calories burned. This data is displayed in a companion app, allowing owners to monitor their dog's well-being and adjust care accordingly. The app also provides a timeline view of emotions and activity, enabling owners to identify patterns and potential issues.
