Whistle Activity Monitor For Dogs review
Tags :activity monitor product review pet pets dog dogs
The Whistle Activity Monitor for Dogs is an interesting way to gauge how much activity and keep a diary of food and other notes about your dog.
The Whistle Activity Monitor for Dogs device itself was sturdy, waterproof and stayed clasped with the double locking rubber strap. It kept the Whistle close to the neck and out of the way. We played with location a couple times on the collar to see where it didn't bother the pet and was out of the way. Where they wear it on the collar should not matter or activity monitoring.
The app that goes with the Whistle Activity Monitor for Dogs had a few issues with configuration, that we cover in the video, but once past that it worked great. Walking through setup was simple. Just remember to NOT delete the Duke sample pet until you are done and make sure the wifi is viewable for setup. It does not support setting up against hidden wifi names. It has to be able to scan (and enter a password if needed).
The app showed the trends and allowed us to enter notes and food amounts easily and quickly. Seeing the activity while away as it synched via wifi was great. I can see using this for talk walkers to make sure they are actually taking your dog out. The trees is helpful in seeing if you dog is slowing down in activity, maybe showing signs of a problem. You can also see regular sleep patterns with this and times they may go outside. This is helpful in planning for letting the dog out as well.
Multiple owners and phone support was cool so the same pet can be tracked across households and owners/locations. A neat way for a family to see the pet using the Whistle Activity Monitor for Dogs.
Overall I cannot wait for the app to get more functionality. Until then it is kind of cool but not a huge benefit for those always around their pet. A decent benefit for those that want to track their pet more when they are not around.
