New Wearables for Dogs and Cats
The DOG 6 XL tracker is designed for larger breeds and active dogs. The device includes extended battery life, a more durable design, and new health monitoring capabilities.
One new feature is scratch monitoring, which analyzes changes in scratching behavior that may indicate allergies, skin irritation, stress, or other health concerns.
The CAT 6 Mini introduces a collar-integrated tracking device designed around feline movement and behavior patterns. The tracker includes monitoring of resting heart rate and respiratory rate to help identify changes that could indicate illness or stress.
The device also includes territory analysis tools designed to show where cats spend time and how roaming patterns change over time.
AI-Powered Health Insights
Alongside the new devices, Tractive introduced updated software features in its mobile app designed to help pet owners interpret health and behavior data collected by the trackers.
New tools include a visual history timeline that displays activity patterns, safe zone alerts, and location history. The app also provides AI-generated health summaries that translate collected data into weekly insights intended to help owners recognize potential changes in their pets’ health.
Tractive reports that its connected pet platform now serves millions of users across more than 175 countries, with devices designed to provide real-time tracking and health monitoring insights.
