Fitness and activity wearables like Fitbit have become increasingly popular, and the Poof collar devices are bringing that same tracking technology to pets. The tiny pieces of technology attach to pets' collars and track various health metrics while simultaneously functioning as a tag.
There are two Poof collar devices: 'Pea' and 'Bean.' Both offer identical features, with the only differentiations being size and battery power (Bean is smaller and lighter but Pea has a longer battery life.)
Both Pea and Bean connect to the Poof app, and they offer a host of metrics and benefits. The system monitors things like activity levels over time, duration and quality of sleep, and GPS tracking for if one's pet gets lost.
