GPS

Questions dog owners ask.
About pet wearables, dog health tracking and Mindy.
What is Mindy?
Mindy is a dog health tracker designed in Sydney, Australia. It has two parts: the Mindy App, for tracking your dog's health and daily care (check-ins, a care journal, meds and care notes you can share with a sitter or walker), and the Mindy Smart Collar, made to go with the app, which adds GPS and scratching tracking. You can try a demo of the app now. The collar is in progress.
What is a pet wearable?
A pet wearable is a small device on your dog's collar that tracks what you can't easily log by hand, such as where they are, how active they are, how they sleep, how often they scratch and, in some devices, heart and breathing rate. It sends that to an app on your phone so you can see changes over time.
Is there a health and fitness tracker for dogs, like the ones people wear?
Yes. Dog wearables work like the fitness and sleep trackers people wear: they learn what's normal for your dog and show you when something changes. The Mindy Smart Collar is built this way. Version 01 tracks GPS location and scratching, and the Mindy App keeps a history your vet can read.
Can a collar tell if my dog is scratching more than usual?
The Mindy Smart Collar's version 01 tracks scratching day and night, so you can see a flare-up building and show your vet the pattern instead of describing it from memory. Mindy shows patterns and changes against your dog's own usual. It doesn't diagnose.
Does the Mindy Smart Collar have GPS?
Yes. Version 01 of the Mindy Smart Collar shows where your dog is from the Mindy App.
Do I need the collar to use the Mindy App?
No. The app works on its own for check-ins, a care journal, medications, care notes and a vet summary. The collar adds tracking you can't do by hand.
Does Mindy diagnose health problems?
No. Mindy shows patterns and changes so you notice them early and have the history ready. Your vet makes the call. If you're worried about your dog, call your vet.
How much will the Mindy Smart Collar cost?
We haven't set a price yet. We're asking dog owners what matters to them first. Take the survey to help shape it, and join the waitlist to hear first.
Is Mindy for cats too?
We're starting with dogs. Cats may come later.
Does the app demo save my information?
No. There's no sign-up. The demo saves nothing you enter and doesn't ask for your details. If you send feedback, we save your note and the screen you were on. Your email is only saved if you choose to add it.
How do I count my dog's breathing rate?
Count while your dog is asleep or resting quietly: each rise and fall of the chest is one breath. Count for 30 seconds and double it. VCA Animal Hospitals gives 15 to 30 breaths a minute as normal for a resting or sleeping dog, and advises calling your vet if it stays above 30. Our free breathing rate counter does the timing for you.
