It's a slightly mad product but I absolutely love it! Everything from the name PitPat to the customised app, allowing you to add a picture of your dog and track their movements, is perfect for dog-lovers. It may sound like a silly product but it is actually really useful. Dogs need a lot of exercise and I was surprised that my 7 year old medium mixed-breed was set a target of 60 minutes walking a day - more than I might have guessed.
The app doesn't record steps like traditional activity monitors, but rather tracks the minutes that your dog walks, plays and runs throughout the day. It gives a good reflection of the effort your dog is putting in to their daily exercise and is tailored towards their breed and age, which you input into the app. The PitPat simply attaches to your dog's collar with velcro and my dog Meg didn't even notice it. At the end of the day, you simply go onto the app and press the orange button on your dog's collar to sync and see a review of their exercise.
Go Compare are currently running a competition to win a FitBit Charge HR for yourself and a PitPat for your dog. All you have to do is follow them on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram and submit a photo of you and your pet enjoying some exercise with the hashtag #BarkRun. There will be five winners and ten runners up will receive a PitPat for their dog. The competition closes on Friday 29th January at 5pm so you have just one week to enter - read the terms and conditions here and get snapping you and your dog on your walkies! Good luck!
Have you ever tried or considered an activity monitor for your dog?
