At SuperZoo 2018, Wagz is introducing the world to its Wagz Explore Smart Collar, which can be linked to other smart pet gadgets in the home, including the Wagz Serve Smart Feeder. Beyond this, the HD video-enabled collar is touted as "the central nervous system of a complete line of Wagz products," including everything from water bowls to dog doors.
While there are many smart pet collars that only address a pet's location in space with GPS technology, the Wagz Explore Smart Collar is a high-tech wearable that leverages real-time data, geofencing and artificial intelligence for many purposes. Some of the applications of the smart pet collar include helping pet owners to set safe property boundaries for dogs, keep them off of furniture and get them eating healthier.
As Wagz CEO Terry Anderton puts it, "the high-tech wearable goes far beyond traditional 'smart' collars by using cutting-edge technology to eliminate dozens of common pet owner concerns around nutrition, safety, fitness and freedom."
