Question 1

Has the overstating the mileage issue been addressed and corrected?

Accepted Answer

The PITPAT runs on accelerometers - just like a basic pedometer.  The mileage is calculated by multiplying the movement by an average distance of a dogs gate.  You can imagine the variability involved between different size dogs.  In respect to the calculation of running, it only counts running if the dog is running for the majority of a 5 minute block of time.  If your dog runs for 2 minutes and then stops, it will not count that time as running.  It's not perfect, but its pretty good.  If you want absolute mileage, then a GPS tracker would be a better, and an assuredly more expensive, solution.  I have had a couple of other pet trackers, and the PITPAT has outlasted them all.

Question 2

Does this tracker work in Pakistan?coz i live in Pakistan

Accepted Answer

The PitPat does not use GPS to show location or calculate distance. It estimates the distance covered by your dog based on their steps and the average stride length of your dog's breed.

PitPat has a three-axis accelerometer which records all your dog’s movements, 24/7. These are analysed to determine whether your dog is walking, running, playing, pottering or resting. You’ll find out how many minutes of activity and resting your dog does each day – and when they did it.

The PitPat device and free app are available to use worldwide.

We hope this answers your question and gives you a little extra information on how our PitPat works.

Question 3

Do you need cell service for this to work? In the forest there’s no service here.

Accepted Answer

I'm actually unsure.  You do need wifi to download the data, but I'm not sure if it collects data in place without cell service.  It's actually a very cool monitor.  I can tell if my pup has been active or not when I'm away.

Question 4

Does this work for cats??

Accepted Answer

The PitPat is designed with dogs and their specific movements and actions in mind,  although there’s nothing stopping you trying PitPat on your cat if you want to (just make sure you select a small breed of dog in the app!). We hope this helps, Best woofs, Your PitPat Team.
