FitBark - Dog Activity Monitor - Blue

I'm loving the Fitbark with my new rescue dog. First, it's really getting me to pay attention to the exercise he's getting and motivating me to get him out for hikes, jogging, playdates, etc. This in turn is actually getting me much more active then personal activity tracker ever did. I also love the ability to benchmark and see how other dogs are doing and now have friends and family's dogs on the app as well. An interesting benefit to showing the activity throughout the day is I could tell when the he escaped from his crate to go running around the house! Since he did no damage after being out for a couple hours, I'm no longer crating him. Bonus for him ;) . The FitBark is simple to set up and the app has a great user interface. Get one for your dog and get the both of you more active.

I've ordered four FitBarks now, two for my dogs and two to give as gifts. Needless to say, I couldn't be happier. This is one of those products that deserves two separate reviews, because there are really two different parts: an app and the device itself. I gave it 5 stars overall because the device has exceeded my expectations. The app is good and keeps getting regular updates with fun new features. Also noteworthy - the customer service is tremendous. Like, the best I've ever encountered for any company (and I don't say that lightly). Part 1, the device Things I love: it's smaller and lighter than it looks. It's highly durable. Lola, my beagle/boxer mix isn't kind to it. Between playing rough with others at the dog park and occasional swims in a nearby creek, our fitbark has seen its share of mistreatment. After nearly 8 months, the FitBark not only functions, but still looks very good with only a few light scratches. I’m averaging a little over a week between charges. It is very convenient to charge also, because you don't have to take it off the collar. The app: Initial setup was easy. The design is unique, intuitive, and I figured out the basics after a few minutes of playing with it. It keeps updating every month or two with new features. Most recently (and my favorite part) they added a "top dog" leaderboard to follow other dogs and compete or compare activity. Bottom Line: I'm a non-tech savvy dog lover and I use FitBark literally every day. I can honestly say it has made me a much better dog parent and I highly recommend it. It's one of those things I didn't know I needed and now can't live without.

I didn't know about this at all. Saw on a TV show and looked perfect tool to use for weight loss. Quick and easy set-up! I had a small problem with app and emailed customer service. Within 15 minutes of sending email, I had my answer and resolution. WOW!!! Great customer service!

This product is great. It does exactly what it says it will do and more. The customer service from FitBark is amazing. I love seeing my dog's activity and getting insite to his activity when I am gone. He runs with me, so its awesome he has his own step counter. If he hasn't reached his daily goal (even if I have), it encourages me to take him for a walk or play more ball. Love it.

Easy to use and fun, but the uploads to my Galaxy S6 are spotty. It is supposed to upload anytime the ap is running and it's in range, but doesn't always do it. I run my dogs everyday and often have to leave the ap running and walk away for a while (hours) and come back and find it's downloaded. I complained and they sent me a replacement but it does the same thing. I do have to say it's amazing how far these guys run.

Overall a fun product and easy to setup. Wish there was a better fastening method though instead of a rubber band.

I. Love this product. Great to track pet activity to get you and your loved one out of the house to exercise! Highly recommend this product!!

I got this thing and it was SUPER easy to setup. I put it on my little mans collar and monitored it for the weekend. It was cool, definitely motivated me for a bit to get to the level of energy needed for my little dude. Then I went to work. It connects to your phones bluetooth so you have nooo idea what's happening until you get home and sync back up. This was kind of annoying to me since I take Harley to daycare everyday and really want to monitor his behavior. I returned it because of this. Just wasn't my thing. If you're OK with this then it isn't all that bad.
