FitBark Dog Activity Monitor Review

What is Fitbark?

Fitbark is a pet fitness tracker that monitors your dog’s daily activity, sleep, and allows pet parents to track their dog’s progress. It comes with a small bone shaped tracker that you attach to a collar that syncs up with an app that you download. The app lets you access data that compares activity level for different days, weeks, and months, in addition to letting you compare it to activity levels of similar dogs. You can also set fitness goals and track medication.  The data that is collected lets you notice any unusual behavior that may be a cause for concern. It also points out if your pet is much less active than similar dogs so that may help you to decide to increase their fitness level or check in with your vet about possible health issues.

The tag is very light and suitable for small dogs. It is waterproof and should last for around 14 days between charges.
