Are you aware that in 2023, the American Pet Products Association (APPA) reported that there are over 50 million dogs that are either obese or overweight? By using fitness trackers to monitor your dog’s activity, you can gain valuable insights about your furry companion and enhance their overall well-being.
You might be wondering, “Does my dog REALLY need a fitness tracker? Is there a Fitbit equivalent for dogs?” Let me start with the first question- no, Fido doesn’t technically need one, at least in the sense of “basic dog essentials to buy right away.” The better question may be, “Is it worth it to buy a fitness tracker for my dog?” For that, the answer is absolutely, at least for me. Knowing about your dog’s activity and nutrition can be a lifesaver, literally.
