Our Verdict

PetPace is in a category of its own for clinical depth. The 3.0 collar continuously monitors seven vital signs: pulse rate, respiration rate, HRV, body temperature, posture, activity intensity, and calorie expenditure. It adds GPS tracking and uses AI to flag deviations from your specific pet's baseline — not generic averages. Deployed in veterinary research, K9 police programs, and used for CHF, epilepsy, and post-op recovery management.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vitals does the PetPace Smart Collar monitor?

The PetPace Smart Collar 3.0 continuously monitors heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, activity levels, body posture, and calorie burn using proprietary sensors.

Does the PetPace collar require a subscription?

Yes. The PetPace collar requires a subscription for cloud data storage, analysis, and veterinary sharing features. Plans start at $13.90/month on a 3-year commitment ($500 total), $16.70/month on a 2-year plan ($400), or $25/month annually ($300). Month-to-month is $29/month with a 12-month minimum. All plans renew at $200/year after the initial term.

Can my vet see my pet's PetPace data?

Yes. PetPace offers a veterinary dashboard that allows your vet to access your pet's health data remotely. This can help identify early warning signs of illness.

Is the PetPace v3.0 worth it?

The PetPace v3.0 (also called PetPace 3.0) is worth it if your dog has a chronic condition, is a senior, or is recovering from surgery. The continuous vital sign tracking and vet dashboard access provide clinical-grade data that no other consumer pet health tracker matches. At $309 plus $13.90/mo on a 3-year plan, it's a serious investment — but for owners who need early warning of health changes, the PetPace v3.0 can catch problems days before symptoms become visible.
