PetPace®, a global leader in advanced pet wearable technology powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, announces a strategic partnership with TelmyVet, a leading telemedicine provider for veterinary practices.
This collaboration brings advanced health monitoring and analytics to Canadian pet owners and veterinary teams, offering near real-time insights into pets’ well-being and changing how pet parents access care and collaborate with their veterinarians.
“Telemedicine for pets has surged in recent years as pet owners seek convenient, efficient, and high-quality care. Our partnership with TelmyVet aligns with that trend and delivers a comprehensive, data-driven solution that transforms the telehealth experience,” said Lior Abraham, President of PetPace.
Abraham added: “The PetPace collar monitors a wider range of vital signs and biometrics than other pet wearables, allowing veterinarians and pet owners to share health data remotely and act on it together.”
The Future of Pet Health Is Here
The PetPace smart collar is now available to Canadian pet parents and veterinary professionals as a veterinary-grade health monitor for dogs; a smart collar for cats is expected to be released in early 2025. Scientifically validated in clinical and research settings, PetPace measures a broad set of data points including vital signs, mobility, behavior patterns and location. Its proprietary platform applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to convert raw signals into actionable health insights.
Pet parents receive alerts and notifications based on near real-time monitoring so they can make timely, informed decisions. Key metrics such as heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), a Wellness score, Activity score, Pain Indicator score and Sleep score give both owners and veterinarians the ability to detect early signs of health changes, prioritize follow-up care and improve ongoing health management.
“By integrating PetPace’s data and analytics into our telemedicine platform, we empower veterinary professionals with an invaluable real-time tool to better understand their patients’ health,” said Dr. Chris Armstrong, Advisor at TelmyVet. “This capability supports earlier disease detection and continued monitoring, and it improves access to optimal care for pets.”
Reimagining How Pet Parents Connect with Their Veterinarian
TelmyVet’s telemedicine platform is designed specifically for veterinary practices to extend their expertise beyond the clinic. Through this partnership, pet parents can conveniently share PetPace health data with their veterinary team before or during virtual appointments, making consultations more focused and productive. The availability of objective, continuous data provides pet owners with peace of mind and enables veterinarians to make data-informed clinical judgments.
For veterinary teams, access to continuous, trackable health data supports better case triage, remote monitoring, and follow-up care. It also improves the ability to manage chronic conditions, assess recovery after procedures, and tailor treatment plans based on measurable trends rather than isolated observations.
A New Perspective on Delivering Telemedicine
TelmyVet is evolving the telemedicine model with its Consult+ series—specialized virtual consultation types designed by veterinary experts. These consultations leverage PetPace data to enhance care in areas such as senior pet management, quality of life assessments, pain management, reproductive care, epilepsy monitoring, osteoarthritis management, behavioral evaluations and wellness exams.
By combining continuous wearable data with structured virtual consultations, the partnership aims to improve outcomes through earlier intervention, more personalized care plans and stronger collaboration between pet parents and their veterinary teams. The integration highlights how connected health devices and telemedicine can work together to keep pets healthier, reduce unnecessary clinic visits, and support informed, timely clinical decisions.
Both organizations emphasize responsible use of health data and collaboration with veterinary professionals to ensure that insights are interpreted in clinical context. As telehealth adoption grows, this partnership demonstrates a practical path for integrating wearable technology into everyday veterinary practice to enhance preventive care, chronic disease management and emergency triage.
