Keep your pooch fit and stylish with the Buddy smart collar

Humans have their fancy devices and gadgets, so it’s only fitting that man’s best friend gets a little tech gadget of their own. Welcome the Buddy smarty dog collar!

The Buddy collar was created by Squeaker, the same company that created something called the Poochlight, an LED dog collar that keeps your pooch safe at night. The new Buddy device aims to keep you on point about the whereabouts of your pet and the activities they get up to.

The device office basically the same functionality found in many human fitness trackers, including GPS tracking, a temperature sensor, an accelerometer, Bluetooth connectivity, a rechargeable battery and even a built-in OLED information display.

All these features are packaged together in a very futuristic, waterproof collar that has funky LED lighting effects, so your best friend will be the coolest pooch in town.

The device’s app, which is available for iOS and Android, allows you as the owner to create a virtual activity fence for your dog. You will be alerted if your dog somehow moves beyond the activity fence. In addition to this, the Buddy collar also comes with a WiFi enabled base station that will also fire off LED lighting alerts if your dog moves out of its designated activity area.

AND if you happen to be an Apple Watch owner, there is an app for the smartwatch that allows you to control the Buddy collar’s lighting system as well as track your dog’s activity via integration with Apple’s health app.

Yes, this all may seem like a bit much to track your dog’s daily habits, but if you think about it, it’s better to be interested in what your dog is up to than to pay thousands for pet surgery when your pup wonders somewhere dangerous.

The Buddy comes in small, medium and large and you can pre-order one of these cool devices from the company’s Kickstarter campaign today!
