PitPat Dog Activity And Fitness Monitor (No GPS) - No Recharging or Subscription Required - Suitable for All Dogs And Fits All Collars - Smart Activity Tracker - 100% Waterproof Dog Fitness Tracker

I bought our PitPat on recommendation of a friend who used his to manage the daily activity of his working Cocker Spaniel. Initially we bought ours out of curiosity but when our dog Tolly began to fall ill as a puppy it was useful to be able to present a decline in his activity to the vet. Tolly was diagnosed with a form of meningitis which he suffered 7 times in his first year. Now symptom-free and in remission from the disease the steroid course had taken a toll and saw his weight go up from 26kg to 31kg. He was put on a weight management plan with a metabolic diet, but it was the exercise, combined with the information provided by the PitPat that made the difference. He lost 4kg in 6 weeks which the veterinary nurse just couldn't believe, but when I showed her the data from the PitPat on the phone app she was really impressed with it.PitPat is a brilliant product - so easy to use once set up, looks great (people often ask what it is), is super light-weight and very small so it doesn't get in the way of Tolly's activity. We have it attached to his harness, so it only records the formal exercise he does. He doesn't wear a collar because his fur is taking a long time to regrow after a lumbar puncture. We love the awards and badges Tolly picks up from PitPat in recognition of the work he is putting in and as a bit of a gadget geek I love the detail of the data provided. The accuracy of the device is of course difficult to gauge but in day-to-day comparisons it is easy to spot progress - and big achievements!

Having a puppy, we wanted to make sure he was getting the right amount of exercise.This gizmo and it's app are great.Simply touch the button and the data is uploaded within secondsThe app itself runs a little slow, but the amount of info is great. Play, sleep, pottering and running are very accurate.It's neat and hardly noticeable on his collar. Well worth it.

Fantastic activity tracker for my spaniel pup, however it has stopped working after only 2 months and is now outside the return window. Very disappointing for something that has such good reviews and isn't cheap.EDIT: Pit Pat have been amazing, after taking me through some troubleshooting which didn't work, they're sending me a brand new tracker and have asked me to return the existing one so they can figure out what went wrong. Couldn't be more impressed with their customer service - thank you!

Love our PitPat which we actually bought in January 2020, I just realised I had forgotten to write a review.It really is amazing how far your dog can cover in a day - and explains why they sleep so much! We have found it so useful, and it's interesting to see how many miles he does when we go off lead walking. We were also really happy to see that when he goes to the dog minder, he can cover 7 miles in a day just playing with her dogs within the confines of her garden.He loves to stick his head in snow, hedges and bushes, has been swimming, has chased squirrels and rabbits through the woods - the PitPat has survived the lot, to say it's been put through its paces in 12 months is an understatement. It's very light, attaches to the collar by a strong velcro strap, has never come off despite his headlong adventures and easily washed, we just do it quickly in soap and warm water, wipe dry and leave somewhere warm.I had to contact customer services recently thinking there was problem with the PitPat, but it turned out it was just a new battery that was needed, our first one in over 12 months. I had a quick response from them and all was sorted in a matter of hours.It's well worth the money, great that you can have some fun without a compulsory subscription. Great fun!

Small and compact for his collar. Wanted to track how much further he went than me off lead. First week I got it worked fine. Showed he went a lot further than me sniffing. Then I started doing fast walks and it failed. Didn’t record the whole walk. It was as if my dog hadn’t walked at all. Didn’t even record him as being still just no data. On slow walking showed him running for the whole walk. Did a test walk with it in my pocket walking slow. Showed I had walked a lot less distance than my smart watch. Checked the battery with my electric meter and it was at full power. The app didn’t allow me to change from miles to kilometres and it added all the walks together in one day. I guess I would have had to subscribe to the extra features of the app to gain this which wasn’t a cheap monthly subscription. The supplied Velcro was so short to get it to go round his collar with the suggested overlap I would have had to buy their extra kit containing a bit of longer double sided Velcro in a fancy box for a lot of money. I bought for just a bit more a pack of re-useable Velcro cable ties which worked just as well and I had a lot left for other jobs. So in conclusion this was an expensive inaccurate bit of kit for the money. I would have expected the longer Velcro to be included in the box with the device, the device to be more accurate and the free aspect of the app to be able to switch between miles and kilometres at the very least. Poor quality I would take your hard earned money elsewhere. After three weeks of use mine was returned.

Purchased newer model to replace older model that had eventually given up the ghost with too many dips in the sea and to be fair it was water resistant not water proof. This newer model has yet to be exposed to the sea but so far, as the older version, it’s a great piece of kit. When we call our rescue doggie and state ‘ let’s check your pitpat’ she comes over, sits down and waits for us to check it so even she knows it’s something that’s important for us all. To be fair, I doubt we would be without this as our doggie is overweight and working with the vets advice to reduce this it certainly keeps us on task and focussed. It becomes embedded in our daily workouts and why we immediately replaced the older model as it was strange without it being available to check.
