Fitbark Review
Being the owner of a pet is quite a fantastic feeling. But one should know that it is not always an easy task to maintain and provide your pet with the best of care. If you are an owner of a pet dog, then we would like to let you know about the most amazing product for your pet. FitBark is a device that will help you to take care of your dogs with more care and supervision.
When we adopt a pet, we always get ecstatic and cannot wait to spend time with our new friend. Some of us are aware of the burden and the immense responsibility of owning a pet. But there are cases where one might be quite sure of them. Raising and taking care of a pet is as hard as raising a human child. A pet needs all sorts of caring you can think of.
Of course, they cannot talk, and they do not possess the ability of humans. You cannot just expect them to take care of themselves. Yes, pets are intelligent too, especially dogs, but they still need every bit of care, love, and attention they can get from their human parent. And as for the owner, the pet gives you much more than you can return. They provide you with company, protect you and be there for you when you need them. That is why you need to make sure they are living the best life of their pet life.
All jokes aside, if you have taken responsibility to take care of a dog, then you should maintain it properly. Taking care of a dog may not be the easiest task as it includes lots of activities, but if you have everything sorted out, you will see it gradually become easier day by day. A dog needs their daily walk, exercise, sleep, and the perfect amount of food. If you confine your dog inside the house for too long, it will be harmful to their health. You always need to check the amount of food and the sleep your dog is getting to keep them fit and not get sick. But if you are a busy person, tracking everything together can be overwhelming for you, and you may lose the fun of having a dog for being overwork. FitBark is a device that may solve all this problem for you.
The device, FitBark, is basically a tracker that will let you keep track of the activities of your dog (sleeping, walking, exercise, eating, behavior change, etc.). But before we jump up to the product review, let us have a look at how the whole journey of the FitBark started and how they work as a company.
There is a device name Fitbit, which is a tracker for tracking how many hours of walking, heart rate, sleeping, and other things one does and gives them an overall measurement. This is an excellent device for tracking your health condition and keeping track of how much work out you are doing. A sibling from Italy, named David, and Sara, thought that it would be great if they could use Fitbit to measure the condition of their dog and keep track of them. They started to use Fitbit for their dog, but soon they came up with another idea, which was to develop a Fitbit device for their dog. As they thought, they started to work on it and came up with the coolest device named FitBark. From the starting, up until now, their device has helped thousands of dog owners to take care of their dog's health by using FitBark. They have sold the product around the world as well as upgraded the device many times for more effective work.
From the reviews of their loyal customers, it can be seen that FitBark has a job as a fantastic product for the dog parents, and they love everything around it. Now that we have known quite a bit about the product history let's jump into knowing about the details of FitBark.
Fitbark- a Tracking Device for Your Dog
FitBark is the name of a small bone shape device for your dog, which may look small but does all the work it is built for. You can hang up the device with your god, and it will record how many hours of walking your dog, how many steps it has taken, sleeping hours, heart rate, health and skin condition, mood condition, and many other things.
The device is connected to a mobile app. All the data the device record will be shown in the app. It is very easy and convenient to use. From the reviews of the users, we can happily say that FitBark does it work to the perfect notch. The first version of the FitBark did not have few options that the new version or FitBark 2 has. It certainly did know you have any GPS, but the new upgrading has enabled it. We will now look at the thorough details of the two products- FitBark 2 and Fitsbark GPS.

Being the owner of a pet is quite a fantastic feeling. But one should know that it is not always an easy task to maintain and provide your pet with the best of care. If you are an owner of a pet dog, then we would like to let you know about the most amazing product for your pet. FitBark is a device that will help you to take care of your dogs with more care and supervision.
Fitbark 2
FitBark 2 is the upgraded version of the first FitBark product. It does not have GPS support (GPS support is only for FitBark GPS). This device, as we have mentioned before, will monitor every activity and condition of your dog 24/7. You do not need to worry about checking up on the dog or device. The device is made to be a quality device that will not get broken easily, and it comes with a warranty.
This device works like a human health tracker. No, FitBark is not related to FitBit. It is a similar device but for dogs. The device runs with batter. The batter has a life span of up to 6 months, which is basically 3.2 dog years. You do not need to worry about running out of it or charging.
FitBark can measure a lot of things. When you put it on your dog, it started to measure the dog's activities, sleep quality, travel distance, burned calories, and behavior. You can see the measurement through the mobile app. FitBark will also monitor and report on the mobility and pain of your pet dog. You can show your veterinarian to monitor mobility, osteoarthritis, or orthopedic rehabilitation. It makes gathering information easier.
You can also check the stress and anxiety level of your dog when you take them out, leave them alone or in the care of someone else. This device can also monitor the illness or skin condition of your dog. When your dog feels sick or feels any irritation or itchiness on the skin, the device will report according to it. So, you will know when you have to take your dog to see the doctor.
The device is made to be comfortable for your dog. It will not irritate or create any obstacle for your dog. It is made to be light and simple, so your dog will not feel an extra burden when you hang it around its neck. You can even find a belt that can be adjusted to the device on their websites. It is rugged and waterproof. The waterproof quality is essential because you never know when your dog may come in contact with water. If the device was not waterproof, it would not be long-lasting.
FitBark has been adopted by 100+ research institute due to its amazing working ability. The app of FitBark can be used in both android and IOS devices. Even one can use it is an apple watch for much more convenience.
Fitbark Gps
There has been a lot of requests to enable the GPS option on FitBark device after it was initially released. Although without the GPS tracker, the device work as good as it should. But after consideration, they come up with a GPS version of the product. So, there are both options for you. If you want to have GPS, you get this version, and if you do not want GPS, you can get the other version.
So, what are the difference between the other FitBark product and this one? The main difference is that you can now track where your pup is going and have gone. In case, if you are the owner who is always cautious about your dog getting lost, then this is the perfect device for you. Not only that, it will let you keep track of the activities of your dog but also let you see where your dog is going.
This is quite similar to FitBark 2 device. It lets you monitor your dog's sleep, walk, heart rate, behavior, illness, and skin. You can get an overall report on the condition of your dog with this device. Now let's move on to the best thing about FitBark GPS, which is, of course, the GPS tracking.
If your dog leaves your house or when you go out with them for a walk, and they somehow wander off to somewhere else, you can find them out easily by tracking them down with the GPS system of the app. You get even to mark places that you consider to be safe for your dog. So, when your dog leaves a safe place or arrives at one, you will get a notification. Also, this is made to be nationwide, so you can track your dog's position from anywhere you want.

Customer Testimonial
FitBark has received almost all good reviews except for some who have met some difficulties with the functioning of the device. Some of the reviews from their website and Amazon website said-
"We absolutely love our FitBarks! We use them for both our dogs and our horses. This activity monitor has changed the way we medicate and monitor our animals! We have a horse, Stetson, who suffers from laminitis, which causes his feet to hurt, resulting in decreased movement. The FitBark allows us to track his movement throughout the day and see a breakdown of his movement from hour to hour." Lindsay, Amazon, 17/03/2018
"I have a lovely 2-year-old lab with big floppy ears, but I can't keep her out of the water. As a result, she has a chronic ear infection problem. I love FitBark; I can check in the morning to see how she slept. If she has lots of points, I know something is bothering her. I can then check her ears to head off the problem. Thank you, FitBark!" Kristen M., FitBark website
But unfortunately, there are some customers who did not have a good experience using FitBark. One of the negative reviews said-
"This is a very well thought out product and does exactly what we need it to. We can see how much exercise our dog is getting, and track whether dog walkers are doing their job." Eddie Calzone, Amazon, 23/10/2019
Conclusion
Those people who have to go to work and out every day cannot take care of their dogs or see where they are going through the whole day.

They can track their dog's wellbeing from far as well as with the GPS version can see where they are or where they have gone. It is a life-changing device for the dog parents.
