“Fo mo e tha 13 yea s, PETKIT has made eve yday pet ca e easie th ough sma t devices. PETKIT TRACE ep ese ts ou ext step i usi g tech ology to suppo t pet health. Pets ca ot tell us how they feel, but small cha ges i daily behavio ca offe valuable clues,” said W. K.

Cu e tly, PETKIT TRACE focuses o th ee of a pet’s most fu dame tal daily outi es: eati g, d i ki g a d litte box use. It c eates a co ti uous, eviewable histo y of each pet’s data, helpi g pet pa e ts u de sta d what is o mal, see how patte s cha ge ove time a d b i g clea e co text to vete i a y co ve satio s. PETKIT pla s to expa d PETKIT TRACE to mo e aspects of pets’ daily lives as the PETKIT Ecosystem evolves.
Ma y ea ly health sig als may fi st appea as cha ges i o di a y outi es: a pet may begi eati g at diffe e t times, d i ki g mo e ofte , usi g the litte box diffe e tly o g adually losi g weight. These patte s ca develop slowly, occu whe o o e is watchi g o be difficult to att ibute i a multi-pet household. Th ough co ected devices, data that might othe wise be missed is captu ed, o ga ized a d p ese ved. This gives ca egive s a clea e eco d of what happe s at home, without elyi g o ly o occasio al obse vatio o memo y.
PETKIT TRACE sta ds fo “T e d Recog itio a d Actio able Ca e E gi e.” The ame also efe s to the t aces pets leave behi d i eve yday outi es. Built o the PETKIT ecosystem, the platfo m d aws o i teg ated at-home eco ds a d vete i a y expe tise to suppo t a bette u de sta di g of each pet’s daily life.

With eco ds ac oss devices b ought togethe i to pet-by-pet p ofiles, data f om diffe e t pa ts of daily life ca be viewed togethe . This is especially valuable i multi-pet households, whe e food o wate levels a d litte clumps alo e do ot show which pet was i volved.T ace: These eco ds fo m a lo g-te m, eviewable histo y, helpi g ca egive s u de sta d each pet’s usual baseli e, follow t e ds ove time a d see whe a outi e bega to cha ge.Suppo t Ca e: Reviewi g these eco ds ove time ca help ca egive s otice cha ges that may eed vete i a y atte tio .Th ough vete i a y collabo atio s such as vete i a ia -autho ed educatio al co te t, PETKIT TRACE helps ca egive s bette u de sta d cha ges i thei pets’ daily outi es a d make mo e i fo med ca e decisio s. Du i g co ve satio s with vete i a ia s, ca egive s ca use histo ical eco ds a d video clips to help explai what cha ged, whe it bega a d whethe eati g, d i ki g, weight, litte box use o othe eco ded behavio s cha ged du i g the same pe iod, p ovidi g mo e specific co text fo vete i a y evaluatio a d follow-up ca e.
Amo g the tech ologies suppo ti g this p ocess is PETKIT’s p op ieta y a tificial i tellige ce (AI), developed i -house ove mo e tha five yea s.

It ca also flag eve ts such as loose stool o vomiti g fo ca egive s to eview i the PETKIT app, p ese vi g i fo matio that might othe wise have bee ove looked.
The developme t of PETKIT AI is powe ed by a eal-wo ld database co-c eated with a global commu ity of mo e tha 200,000 use s, mo e tha 500,000 multimodal pet health data poi ts a d ove 100 millio AI t ai i g ite atio s.
PETKIT’s vete i a y pa t e ships a e built a ou d a sha ed ambitio : to make tech ology mo e espo sive to eal-wo ld pet ca e eeds a d at-home data mo e useful i vete i a y p actice. Th ough wo ki g closely with vete i a y p ofessio als, PETKIT aims to t a slate f agme ted eve yday pet data i to actio able i sights fo pet pa e ts a d mea i gful co text fo vete i a y ca e.
As pa t of the lau ch, PETKIT is pa t e i g with vete i a ia s ac oss feli e medici e, i te al medici e, eph ology a d u ology. Thei cli ical expe tise a d fi stha d expe ie ce with PETKIT p oducts help the compa y u de sta d which at-home cha ges ca egive s ofte miss o st uggle to desc ibe, what i fo matio is useful to p ese ve a d how it ca be p ese ted mo e clea ly.

This collabo atio eflects a sha ed belief i the impo ta ce of ecog izi g cha ges ea ly. “As a feli e specialist vete i a ia , I see cases of sick cats eve y day whe e ea lie i te ve tio could have made a huge diffe e ce i both t eatme t cost a d outcomes fo patie ts,” said PETKIT vete i a y pa t e D . Ashlie Saffi e, DVM, DABVP (Feli e).
PETKIT TRACE p ovides mo e complete at-home co text fo vete i a y evaluatio , t eatme t pla i g a d follow-up ca e by co ecti g data eco ds ac oss daily outi es ove time. This eflects a sha ed view amo g PETKIT a d its vete i a y pa t e s: u de sta di g a pet’s health mea s co side i g diffe e t outi es togethe , athe tha viewi g i dividual cha ges i isolatio .
PETKIT vete i a y pa t e D .

PETKIT TRACE helps co ect data f om these diffe e t outi es togethe o a sha ed timeli e, tu i g sepa ate obse vatio s i to a clea e at-home histo y. Beyo d sayi g “somethi g seems off,” pet pa e ts ca sha e whe cha ges bega , patte s i daily outi es, weight eco ds, a d eleva t videos to suppo t a mo e i fo med co ve satio with thei vete i a ia .
A case sha ed by D . Saffi e shows how data captu ed at home ca suppo t timely actio . Leo, a two-yea -old cat with a histo y of feli e idiopathic cystitis, used his sma t litte box mo e tha 13 times withi a few hou s o e mo i g. Some visits lasted mo e tha six mi utes. Because the patte was fa outside his o mal outi e, his family immediately took him to a vete i a y cli ic, whe e he was diag osed with a pote tially life-th eate i g u i a y t act obst uctio . D . Saffi e oted that the family’s p ompt actio allowed the vete i a y team to begi t eatme t withi hou s of the obst uctio developi g, ultimately savi g Leo’s life.
Leo’s case shows how at-home data, ca egive awa e ess a d vete i a y expe tise ca wo k togethe : the sma t litte box captu ed the u usual patte , his family ecog ized the u ge cy, a d the vete i a y team diag osed a d t eated the obst uctio .
PETKIT TRACE is desig ed to st e gthe the co ectio amo g pets, ca egive s a d vete i a y p ofessio als th oughout eve yday ca e. Co ti uous at-home eco ds help ca egive s follow thei pets’ outi es ove time, while vete i a ia -autho ed educatio co te t helps them u de sta d cha ges a d whe to seek p ofessio al help.

PETKIT’s lo ge -te m ambitio is to put PETKIT TRACE’s co ected data capabilities to wo k ac oss the b oade pet health commu ity. Th ough collabo atio with vete i a y p ofessio als a d i dust y pa t e s, the compa y aims to explo e how these capabilities ca suppo t esea ch a d i fo m the developme t of pet ca e solutio s that espo d mo e closely to eal-wo ld eeds.
“Ou visio fo PETKIT TRACE exte ds beyo d the home a d the cli ic.

This is what PETKIT mea s by ‘The Tech ology That Ca es.’”
PETKIT TRACE suppo ts this visio by c eati g a co ti uous, multidime sio al data fou datio f om pets’ daily lives.
