Whistle Labs Launches Innovative Pet Wearable Focused on Health and Fitness, as well as an All-New Nutrition Feature
#whistle #dogtracker #dogactivity #Whistlefit Whistle FIT Provides Critical Pet Insights Through a Three-Year Study to Produce Personalized Pet Care and Enable Pet Owners to Ultimately Increase Longevity and Quality of Life.
Whistle Labs, the leader in pet health, fitness and location tracking, today announced a new product geared specifically towards pet health and fitness – Whistle FIT. Whistle FIT serves as a preventative healthcare tool and utilizes its wellness program for dogs. It provides customers with a simple and fully personalized experience to manage pet care through monitoring of a pet’s key health behaviors, food intake management, and activity. A service company at its core, Whistle Labs provides users with valuable insights that enable them to better care for their dogs. Adding to its family of best-in-class pet wearables – Whistle GO and Whistle GO Explore – which enables GPS location tracking in addition to health and fitness features, Whistle FIT was created as an alternative option for pet owners who aren’t concerned with GPS tracking and solely focused on health and fitness monitoring. These smart, collar-worn devices capture information about a dog’s behavior around-the-clock, which owners can view through the Whistle mobile app. “Our mission is to improve the lives of pets by empowering the people who love them,” said Collette Bunton, CEO of Whistle Labs. “Introducing Whistle FIT to our product portfolio is a direct response to our customers’ needs for insights into their pet’s health and fitness. Through our Pet Insight Project, where we’ve enlisted over 50,000 citizen scientists and collected data from 60,000 dogs across 900 breeds and mixes, we’re able to provide an in-depth look into pet behavior and provide Whistle FIT users with actionable solutions. These insights help give our pets a voice and enable pet parents to deliver the right care when they need it — leading to happier and healthier pets.”
A recent survey conducted by Whistle of 1,000 U.S. pet owners revealed their biggest concern is understanding and managing their pets’ behavior, as well as providing them with proper nutrition and healthcare. “Whistle FIT collects and shares over 50 samples of your pet's movements every second, enabling our research team to look for hidden insights and discover never-before-seen patterns,” said Jordan Meyer, Whistle’s VP of Product. “As we uncover new connections between pet behavior, health, and nutrition, we’ll update the Whistle app to provide new capabilities and features, and offer greater insight into your pet’s well-being.” UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2020 AT 8 A.M. PT Whistle Labs also announced its new Nutrition feature today. The whistle is the only brand in pet wearables to offer personalized nutrition recommendations. With over 3,000 brands and types of dog food in its database, Whistle calculates the total daily amount an owner should be feeding their dog based on age, breed, weight, activity level/calories burned, and type of dog food. Once a pet owner enters the brand of dog food, the Whistle app evaluates activity levels to determine the portion of food suggested specifically for that dog. Similar to humans, fitness in dogs is based not only on the city but also on the number of calories consumed. ● Approximately 60% of the dogs in the US are overweight or obese.1 ● A dog’s life can be extended by as much as 2 ½ years by keeping them in their ideal weight range.
2 With custom insights and regular notifications to support your pet care and wellness regimen, Whistle trackers enable users to act on science, providing them with unparalleled peace of mind. By adding nutrition features, Whistle Labs continues to innovate the pet wearables category, enabling pet parents to better connect with and understand their pets, transforming the way they care for them. Whistle Nutrition features will be available on Whistle FIT trackers, as well as Whistle GO and Whistle GO Explore trackers. Whistle FIT will be available for purchase at whistle.com on January 21, 2020 for $79.95. A Whistle Wellness subscription is required for each device: a monthly plan of $2.95 per month covers all personalized health and fitness features, using data that is continually updated from the 3-year Whistle Pet Insight Project to analyze and compare a pet’s personal information that is gathered in the Whistle app. The monthly subscription also provides personalized notifications, weekly wellness reports full of insights about your pet and a 30-day view of health behavior that can easily be shared with a veterinarian – all of which leads to a healthier life for your pet. And for a limited time, Whistle offers free access to a vet through the Whistle app, allowing owners to communicate through chat, audio/video calls, or email. Read the full article

What You Need To Know Before Taking Your Pup To The Beach
Taking your dog to the beach is a blast. It’s a great place for them to let loose and play. They get to run around, dig holes, and swim. However, beaches have a few safety risks for puppers. Before taking your dog out for a beach date, make sure that you put some precautions in place so they have a ton of fun.
Find A Dog-Friendly Beach
Not all beaches allow dogs, so do a little research into where you dog will be welcomed before picking a beach. You’ll also want to make sure you pick a beach with calmer waters and clear sandy areas. Choppy waters can be dangerous for even the best swimmers and there can be dangers hidden in rough sand like sharp corals, broken glass, and animals. Also make sure to pack some doggy bags, as no beachgoer wants to encounter your dog’s leave behinds.
Bring Fresh Water And Shade
Being out in the sun all day can be taxing on anyone. So make sure you provide your dog with adequate shade and water to keep them cool. There are some other safety items you should consider including:
● A Life Vest: Even if your pup is a great swimmer, a life vest can help protect them if they get caught in a sneaker wave.
● Sunscreen: Even with their fur coat, a dog can get a sunburn if you don’t protect their skin.
● Leashes: Bringing a variety of leashes including short, long, and retractable can give your dog some extra freedom while keeping them safe
Be Prepared For Grooming
Make sure to bring a couple of grooming supplies for when you leave the beach. There are some unpleasant critters that live in the sand you won’t want to take home. Here’s how to clean up your pup before taking them home:
1. Rinse your dog off with clean water. Most beaches have an outdoor shower you can use. You can use a little natural dog shampoo to make sure they are really clean.
2. Wipe them down with a microfiber towel or soft bristle brush to remove all the residual bits of sand.
3. Dry their ears thoroughly. If they are prone to ear infections, talk to your vet about getting an ear rinse to help clean them out.
4. If your dog’s paws get a little roughed up from the sand, apply some moisturizing paw balm to help them heal
These tips will help make sure that you and your dog have a safe and happy time at the beach. One last, important thing you should always pack before hitting the shore is doggy toys. With Shaggy Swag’s monthly subscription for useful for pet supplies, every month your dog will get a fun new doggy toy they can take with them on any day trip. Pack up and have fun!
Keeping Your Dog Safe And Comfortable On A Road Trip
Road trips with your best friend can be a blast! Dogs make lovely travel companions and will have a great time on the ride. However, just as you need to make yourself comfortable on a road trip, you need to also make your pup comfortable. Here’s what to do to keep them happy and safe on even the longest trek:
● Pack Wisely: Before setting out on the road, make sure that you pack everything your dog will need including:
● Enough food for the trip, plus a little extra for unexpected delays
● Portable food and water bowls
● Treats for good behavior
● Toys and chew bones to keep them busy during the long drive
● Leash and collar
● A folder with their vaccination record, ID, and pictures
● Any medicine and a pet first aid kit
● Grooming tools
● Doggy bags
● Extra blankets and towels
● If you plan on going outside, you may want to bring sunscreen, pest repellent, or protective clothing
● Buckle Them In: You wear a seat belt, so should your dog. Though buckling them into the car seat with human seatbelts can be a bit of a challenge, there are some things you can do. There are safety harnesses specifically made for dogs that adapts to your car’s seat belts. You can also opt to crate them. This makes sure that they are safe if there is an accident, but also that they don’t distract you by roaming all over your car.
● Focus On Hydration: It’s really easy for dogs to become dehydrated on long trips, especially when they are sitting in the back in the direct sun. Make sure to bring plenty of fresh water and a bowl for them to easily drink from.
● Take Frequent Breaks: Make sure to stop at least every two hours to let your dog out. You’ll be able to find green spaces no matter where you are where they can relieve themselves and release some of the energy that will get pent up from being in a car for hours. Make sure to keep them on a short leash because unfamiliar areas can present hazards you and your pup do not normally face.
Also, make sure to plan your route to include dog-friendly activities and accommodations before you head out. Following these tips will makes sure that your dog is safe and comfortable even on a long trip. To make sure your dog is fully stocked on dog treats, dog toys, and necessities, make sure to have Shaggy Swag hook you up. Every month we send out a monthly subscription box for useful pet supplies that helps make sure your pup has everything they need
How to Keep Your Dog Mentally Satisfied
Taking the time out of your day to play with your dog and teach them new things is essential to their health and happiness. Being able to stimulate and mentally satisfy your dog will help prevent boredom and even teach them how to use all of their senses.
Hide and Seek
Hide and seek is a childhood game we have all played at some time or another, but did you know it is also a game your pup will love? Using the excitement of running around and hiding in combination with a few tasty treats as a reward, hide and seek is a good game to play with your dog and will teach him how to pick up on certain cues to find you.
To play this game, you will need to have at least two people. One person will have to distract the dog, while the other person runs to hide.
Ring Stackers
Children are given ring stackers to help their eye-hand coordination, and the same is true for your dog. While this may be a more challenging game for your dog to learn, it is beneficial and will provide you with some much-needed one on one time with your furry friend.
The dog will need to learn to pick up the ring with his mouth and then stack it. You can also lay the rings around the room and see if your dog will gather them up and bring them to you.
Cup Game
Do you remember being on the choosing end of the ball under the cup game? A single ball is placed under a cup, and the cups are then moved around, and you must figure out which cup contains the ball. It requires a lot of attention and concentration to choose correctly.
Well, that same concept can be applied for your dog. Place a treat under a cup and using the same rules, move the cups around and let them choose which cup is hiding their treat.
This game will require your dog to sit there and pay close attention and really think about finding that treat.
For other games and toys to play with, consider purchasing our monthly subscription box and you won’t be disappointed.
