Humans have pedometers and fitness bands and apps to keep track of their workout routines and now, dogs can too with the Wandant tracker.
Made by Fujitsu, the Wandant tracker fastens easily onto the pet's leash and monitors the dog's steps like a pedometer as well as other things like stress level and is recorded every 10 minutes. For those who are extremely concerned with their pet's diet, the daily food intake as well as output can also be logged into the device, which will the generate a series of graphs for the dog owner to review. Pet owners can even monitor their beloved pooches from afar by subscribing to the app for $5 per month. This allows the dog's exercise data to be uploaded online and become accessible via phones or computers.
