Great to talk dogs this week and ways to train your dog and keep him healthy with Nick Hill, from Sure Petcare.
Worn on a dog’s collar, Animo comes with three different sized attachment bands, making it suitable for dogs of all sizes. Weighing just 22g, Animo is lightweight, comfortable and waterproof. It sits flat against the collar and its “twist and lock” fitting not only makes it easy to attach and detach, but also holds the unit firmly in place. It operates using a standard coin cell battery which lasts for six months, preventing the need for regular charging.
Nick says this is a the lifelong activity and behavior monitor which learns and accurately interprets the unique behavior and activity patterns of a dog. Animo delivers insights into a dog’s activity and sleep, as well problem behaviors such as shaking, scratching and barking. These insights help owners to understand the changing needs of their pet over its lifetime, enabling them to provide proactive and personalized pet care.
Key features of Animo and the Sure Petcare app include:
Activity: Set and monitor daily activity goals, check last walked time and view activity reports by day, week, month and year.
Sleep Quality: Hour-by-hour sleep quality report throughout the night; a poor night’s sleep can be an indication of stress, discomfort or illness
Calories: track the calories burnt by your dog and compare this to a recommended daily target based on their breed, age and weight
Behavior tracking: receive alerts for increased barking, scratching or shaking
Connect with family and friends: Animo can be synced by any member of your app household and owners can share access to the app with their friends and family.
