PetPace®, a leader in advanced pet wearable technology powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, has announced a strategic partnership with TelmyVet, a Canadian telemedicine platform for veterinary practices. This collaboration brings veterinary-grade remote health monitoring and actionable analytics to pet parents and veterinary teams across Canada, enabling near real-time insight into a pet’s well-being and improving access to care.
“Telemedicine for pets has surged as pet owners seek convenient, efficient, and high-quality care. Our partnership with TelmyVet brings a comprehensive, data-driven solution that improves the telehealth experience for pet parents and veterinary teams,” said Lior Abraham, President of PetPace.
The Future of Pet Health is Here
Canadian pet owners and veterinary professionals now have access to PetPace’s smart collar, a veterinary-grade wearable designed for continuous monitoring of dogs, with a cat version expected in early 2025. The PetPace collar has been validated in clinical settings and tracks a broad range of physiological and behavioral data points—more than many other pet wearables—allowing for better-informed, timely care decisions.
PetPace’s proprietary system collects metrics such as heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), activity levels, sleep patterns, mobility, behavior indicators, and location. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, the platform analyzes these signals to generate wellness scores, activity summaries, pain indicators, and other actionable insights. Pet parents receive alerts and notifications based on near real-time monitoring so potential issues can be identified and addressed earlier.
These continuous data streams help both pet owners and veterinarians detect subtle changes in a pet’s health. Early detection supports improved management of chronic conditions, enhanced monitoring after procedures, and more personalized wellness plans. Veterinarians can use the objective, longitudinal data to supplement clinical exams, improving diagnostic confidence and follow-up care.
“By integrating PetPace’s data and analytics into our telemedicine platform, we are giving veterinary professionals a powerful real-time tool to better understand their patients’ health. This capability enhances early disease detection and supports ongoing monitoring,” said Dr. Chris Armstrong, Advisor at TelmyVet.
How the Partnership Reimagines Telemedicine
TelmyVet is designed to expand access to veterinary expertise through virtual consultations tailored for veterinary clinics. The integration with PetPace enables pet parents to download and share objective health data with their veterinary team before and during telemedicine appointments. This access to non-biased, continuous monitoring data provides peace of mind for owners and a richer information set for clinicians.
For practices, the combination of PetPace collar data and TelmyVet’s telemedicine tools means more efficient virtual triage, better-informed consultations, and stronger continuity of care. Veterinarians gain access to trackable, time-stamped health metrics that support remote assessments of conditions like pain, mobility issues, behavioral changes, chronic disease progression, and recovery following treatment.
Consult +: A New Model for Virtual Care
TelmyVet’s Consult + series represents an advanced approach to virtual veterinary care. These structured consultations are created to help veterinary teams deliver focused, expert care across a range of clinical areas—including senior pet support, quality of life discussions, pain management, reproductive care, epilepsy monitoring, osteoarthritis management, behavior consultations, and routine wellness exams.
Integrating PetPace data into Consult + visits provides clinicians with important context and objective measures to guide recommendations. Continuous monitoring is particularly valuable for conditions that benefit from longitudinal observation, such as chronic pain or neurological disorders, where single-point clinic visits may miss important trends.
