Between Janurary 5th and 7th this year, the Consumer Eletronics Show of 2022 has been held with over 180 thousand visitors showing up to take a look at the new and exciting technologies that were showed off. Many, exciting trends have been revealed and a lot of information was shared about upcoming projects.
Amongst all this excitement there was a single piece of tech that has stood out from the rest due to its… uniqueness. A brand called PurrSong has shown off its product called LavvieTAG. LavvieTag is a biometric device made to monitor the activity of your pets. This includes:
-How much they eat
-How much they move
-Their heart condition
as well as many more fitness-centered parameters.
Caudron, representative of the brand says ““The pet’s place in the family is changing, It’s no longer a dog-master relationship. We think of ourselves as parents and our dogs as a member of the family.”
The aim of the company to extend the life-expectancy of our feline friends by itroducing artifical intelligence and technology. It will be quite interesting what other, exciting ideas they can come up with

Looks like an interesting concept. It would be great to improve the standard of our pupils’ lives. Such device will also work great as a reminder about walks meals etc.
Thanks for the info, will look at it more, maybe it can be useful for my cat haha.
That seems to be a great idea. This kind of tech will definitely make a difference for the better in how people treat their pupils. Also, could those parameters be checked live? along with location? This could be very helpful in some cases.
Very interesting idea! I’ve always wondered about creating such things for animals, because I think that basing food intake only on animal’s weight can be pretty misleading. For example my brother’s cat weights about 3kg, but she eats much less than theoretically she should, my guess it that it’s because most of her weight is probably fur, but it’s a healthy cat and she just doesn’t need that much food. So I really consider fitness tracker like this a useful tool, when someone wants to be sure how much their pet is really supposed to eat. Great post!
While this is silly to a certain extent , veterinarians can use this to effectively collect more data and model that data to suit each individual cat better which is pretty good.
