Now comes decision time. Which one is best for your dog? Well, it depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for a device that can give you a new perspective on your dog’s health and if they are getting enough exercise for their size, the FitBark or Poof may be right for you. Due to FitBark’s larger size, if you have a small dog, the Poof would be better for you. If your dog is a wanderer or if you have a lot of land and they like to roam, the Whistle 3 would be a great option. The Whistle 3 will put your mind at ease knowing that you will always be able to find out exactly where your dog is. Wearable technology for dogs is not well known but on the rise. If you and your dog want to get active together, I encourage you to look into pet activity trackers!
