Heart rate & variability
A 60 GHz radar reads the pulse through the fur line, with motion cancellation so a good shake doesn't read as a spike. No skin contact, nothing to shave.

Dogs are built to hide discomfort. It's an instinct older than domestication. Petuno monitors heart rate, respiration, temperature and movement around the clock, learns what normal looks like for your dog, and flags the day the numbers drift out of that range.

What the collar reads
The sensor pod rides on the underside of the neck, where the carotid pulse is closest to the surface. Nothing to shave, nothing to charge daily, no behaviour to change.

Breathing rate derived from the radar's micromotion sensing. A rising resting rate is often the first number to move, and the one owners rarely catch by eye.

A contact thermistor tracks the daily temperature curve. Petuno cares about the shape of that curve, not a single reading.

A six axis IMU measures stride symmetry and head bob. A change in the way a dog moves can register in the numbers early.

The app
Vitals, position, and the things Petuno has quietly noticed. Open it when you want reassurance, and let it open itself when something actually needs you.
Everything sits inside Milo's normal range.
Milo's overnight resting rate has run 9% above his baseline for three nights running, while breathing and temperature held steady. Often nothing. Worth a look.
Why one number never works
A resting heart rate that means nothing on one dog is an early warning on another. Petuno never measures your dog against a breed chart. It measures today against their own last ninety days.

Where Petuno sits
There are good collars for finding a dog and good collars for counting steps. There isn't one that watches the body itself, continuously, and acts on what it sees.

Still the tracker
Continuous monitoring is the point, but a collar that loses your dog is not much use. Petuno runs dual band GNSS against a cellular fix, with a fallback that keeps reporting when the network doesn't.
The hardware
The pod weighs less than a set of keys and sits flat against the throat, so the band never spins and the sensor never loses its contact point.

Founding batch
A monthly health plan covers cellular data across Europe, full history, the baseline model and vet reports. Cancel whenever; the collar keeps tracking locally.

No. Petuno measures trends and tells you when your dog's own numbers move away from their own normal. It doesn't diagnose anything. That's your vet's job, which is exactly why every alert comes with a report you can hand them.
Yes. The sensor pod sits on the underside of the neck and the band applies light, even pressure to part the fur at the contact point. No shaving. On very dense double coats the app asks you to nudge the pod a centimetre and confirms signal quality in a few seconds.
Vitals are processed on the collar; only summaries and flagged windows leave it. Your history is yours. Export it or delete it in one tap, and nothing is sold to anyone, ever.
We will publish a firm number after bench testing, not a lab estimate. The design target is several days of continuous vitals with periodic location. Live tracking at one second refresh is much shorter, and the app will always show the honest figure for how you actually use it.
