History
PetPace was founded in 2012 by Avner Schneur, Dr. Asaf Dagan, and Avi Menkes.[1]
It is headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, with a research and development center in Shefayim, Israel.[2]
Product
The PetPace smart collar uses embedded sensors to collect vital signs, behavioral indicators, and location data. This data is processed using proprietary algorithms and artificial intelligence to generate health predictions and alerts, trend analysis, and condition-specific monitoring.[3] Information is accessible through a mobile app[4] and a web-based dashboard, offering near real-time insights.[5]
The collar is suitable for both healthy dogs and cats, as well as those managing chronic conditions.[6] AI models are used to analyze the data and compare it to the pet's own historical self or to other pets,[7] in order to assess overall wellness, pain level, and deviations from the pet’s unique biometric profile. [8] .[9]
Research
PetPace has been cited in multiple peer-reviewed scientific studies and veterinary publications.[10] A 2018 study in The Veterinary Journal conducted at North Carolina State University compared the PetPace activity output with two validated monitors (ActiGraph and Actical) and reported moderate-to-high correlations, supporting the use of the collar for activity monitoring in dogs. [11] A 2022 study in Frontiers in Pain Research further distinguished between healthy dogs and those with osteoarthritis pain, finding moderate correlation with Actical and significant differences in activity, posture, and heart‑rate variability metrics.[12]
Additional validation extends across contexts and species. A 2023 study in Animals tested the accuracy of PetPace for assessing sleep behaviour in kenneled dogs, comparing collar data with continuous video-based behavioural observations and reporting reliable detection of sleep and activity patterns.[13]
University-led research includes work by North Carolina State University (2018; 2022) and collaborations involving the University of Salford (UK)[14] and the Federal University of Ouro Preto (Brazil) (2023), using PetPace data to investigate activity, sleep, posture, and heart‑rate variability in companion animals.[11][12][13]
PetPace technology has been repeatedly validated and utilized by numerous universities, research institutions, and law enforcement agencies worldwide for clinical and academic studies in various settings and fields of interest, including orthopedics,[15] neurology,[16] cardiology,[17] pain,[18][19] anxiety/behavior,[20][21][22][23][24] human-animal bond,[25][26][27] animal welfare,[28][14][29] physiology,[30][31][32][15][33] and more.
Media coverage
PetPace has received media attention from both mainstream and pet-specific outlets.[34][35][36] A 2025 article in PCMag featured the collar’s sensor technology and differentiated it from fitness-focused pet trackers.[37]
Dogster[38] and Hepper[39] have reviewed the product, highlighting its usefulness for dogs with medical conditions and the peace of mind it offers to pet owners.[40][41]
Recognition
PetPace earned the PCMag Excellence Award for its AI-powered pet health monitoring solution. The award recognizes the company's innovation in leveraging AI and machine learning for proactive and continuous pet health monitoring.[42]
In 2015, PetPace was named “Israel’s Most Promising Startup” by the Israeli financial daily Calcalist.[43][44]
In 2025, PetPace received the IoT Breakthrough Award for "Wearable Device Innovation of the Year", highlighting its role in advancing smart health technology for animals.[45] It was the winner of the 8th Annual Corporate Excellence Award for Best AI Based Pet Health Monitoring Solution and also received the 2025 Pinnacle Awards in the technology category.[46] As well, was the finalist for the Pet Tech Award by the Pet Industry Federation in the UK.[47]
