AI Pet Collar Shares Real-Time Health Data With Vets

PetPace V3.0 Smart Collar: AI-Powered Health Monitoring for Dogs and Cats

PetPace was recently featured in dvm360 for the launch of the new PetPace V3.0 Smart Collar, a wearable designed to bring continuous, clinically useful biometric monitoring to dogs and cats. This next-generation collar leverages artificial intelligence to track vital signs and behavioral patterns, and it enables straightforward sharing of health data with veterinarians to support faster, better-informed care decisions.

Continuous Vital Sign Monitoring

The V3.0 collar continuously measures key physiological metrics, including temperature, heart rate, respiration, and general activity. By gathering these signals around the clock, the device builds a detailed baseline for each animal and flags deviations that may indicate illness, stress, pain, or other health issues. Continuous monitoring provides context that brief, in-clinic measurements cannot, offering a clearer picture of how a pet is doing in its normal environment.

Telehealth and Remote Veterinary Collaboration

A notable addition in this generation is free access to veterinary telehealth and telemedicine via live chat and video. This capability makes it easier for pet owners to consult with professionals quickly, share real-time biometric data, and receive guidance without an immediate clinic visit. For veterinarians, the collar’s remote monitoring features allow ongoing oversight of chronic conditions, rehabilitation progress, and response to treatments, helping clinicians adjust care plans based on objective data instead of sporadic observations.

Epilepsy Monitoring and Early Detection

One of the standout features in V3.0 is a beta epilepsy monitoring feature that detects and records seizure activity in dogs. Recorded seizure events and associated biometric changes can provide veterinarians with critical information to support diagnosis, establish frequency and severity, and refine treatment strategies. Having documented seizure data reduces reliance on owner observation alone and supplies a clearer timeline of events for clinical evaluation.

AI-Based Pain Scoring and Proactive Care

PetPace’s platform analyzes millions of data points daily and applies its AI-based Pain Score technology to identify subtle signs of discomfort before they become obvious. Early detection of pain-related patterns helps both veterinarians and pet owners take timely, proactive action—whether that means scheduling a veterinary visit, adjusting medication, or modifying an animal’s environment to reduce stressors. The AI component refines assessments by comparing individual pets’ patterns against large datasets, improving sensitivity to meaningful changes.

As Dr. Asaf Dagan, PetPace’s co-founder and Chief Veterinary Scientist, explains: “Only real-time physiological data can accurately reveal what’s happening inside the animal’s body. It’s an exceptionally valuable tool in improving the health and well-being of pets.”

“PetPace V3.0 doesn’t just monitor it thinks, learns, and protects,” said Lior Abraham, PetPace General Manager. “This is a colossal transformation in pet healthcare.”

Benefits for Pet Owners and Clinics

  • Improved early detection: Continuous data and AI analytics catch subtle changes before clinical signs become evident.
  • Better-informed consultations: Veterinarians receive objective, longitudinal data to support diagnosis and treatment decisions.
  • Convenience and reduced stress: Telehealth access and remote monitoring can reduce unnecessary clinic visits and lower stress for both pets and owners.
  • Chronic care management: Ongoing tracking of recovery and treatment response helps clinicians tailor long-term plans.

Practical Considerations

While the collar offers advanced monitoring capabilities, it is intended to augment—not replace—regular veterinary care. Data from the collar can enhance clinical judgment and help prioritize care, but interpretation and treatment planning remain the responsibilities of licensed veterinarians. Owners should use the collar as a tool to provide additional, objective information during consultations and to support discussions about their pet’s health.

PetPace’s V3.0 represents a meaningful step toward integrating wearable health technology into everyday veterinary practice and pet care. By combining continuous biometric monitoring, AI-driven analysis, and telehealth connectivity, the system aims to foster closer collaboration between pet owners and veterinary teams and to improve health outcomes through earlier detection and more personalized, data-driven care.
