At FitBark, we think of dog and human health as one. We couldn’t imagine a world where we push our bodies and watch?our diets to get healthy, and leave the pets we love on a path to medical crisis - with minimal?exercise and unrestricted access to food. That's why we are entirely dedicated to getting you and your pet healthy together. And making it fun!
And you know who shares our mission? Animal Planet. With 54% of US dogs affected, obesity is the single largest epidemic facing our pets today. Watch how the FitBark platform helps get pets healthy in Animal Planet's new show “My Big Fat Pet Makeover.” And guess what? Clipping a FitBark to a pet's collar helps the humans in the show just as much as it benefits their pets!
Our friends at the Mayo Clinic also think of human and pet health as one. Learn about how they used the FitBark in a series of One Health studies to assess whether dogs disrupt human sleep. (Spoiler alert: For the most part, they don’t!)
So what is FitBark? It’s a small, colorful device that you attach to your dog’s collar. It monitors activity levels, quality of sleep, distance traveled, calories burned, and overall health and behavior 24/7.
We are now proud to introduce you to our latest addition to the family: the FitBark 2. The biggest upgrade with the FitBark 2 is a battery life up to 3.5 dog years (6 months), so you can worry less about recharging and more about bonding with your pup. It fits dogs of any size, and it loves the water as much as your dog does!
You can link it to your Fitbit, Apple Healthkit or Google Fit device (or just use your iOS or Android phone to track your steps) and chart progress side-by-side. Talk about motivation!
We built the FitBark 2 in collaboration with 45+ veterinary schools and research institutions that have been using our platform in clinical settings to address mobility issues, skin diseases, nutrition, cognition, vision and a wide variety of medical conditions.
A drop in the FitBark Health Index helps you catch early signs of discomfort or disease.
FitBark allows you to share your dog's information with your trainer or veterinarian to monitor orthopedic rehabilitation, osteoarthritis or changes in mobility.
Your pet's FitBark Sleep Score can help you track the development of skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis.
A quick look at activity levels after you leave home provides valuable clues about your dog's anxiety levels and how he or she is doing while you're away.
