Problem
Traditional pet tracking solutions rely on bulky collars that can be lost, removed, or cause discomfort, leaving pets unprotected and owners worried. Existing GPS trackers also require frequent charging and may lose signal in challenging environments, creating gaps in coverage when peace of mind matters most.
Solution
HALO provides an invisible, secure GPS tracking chip that is injected under a pet's skin, removing the need for collars entirely. The micro-sized chip is biocompatible and safe for both cats and dogs of all sizes, and it powers itself without external charging, ensuring it works the moment a pet leaves home. Through the HALO app, owners can monitor their pet's real-time location from anywhere, with vivid, easy-to-understand visuals. The chip is designed for every environment, continuing to record a pet's path in areas with thin coverage and delivering the data once the signal returns. The chip also learns a pet's normal behavior patterns and alerts owners to changes in sleep, scratching, head shaking, and restlessness that may indicate health issues.
Target Audience
Primary customers are pet owners who want continuous, reliable location tracking for their cats and dogs without the hassle or discomfort of traditional GPS collars, as well as veterinary clinics that partner to offer chip placement services.
