25 May Healthy Pet Connect leverages home health technology to prevent pet disease
MADISON, Wis. — Healthy Pet Connect leverages pet home health technology (scales, feeders & wearables) to document a pet’s weight, food intake, and exercise to combat pet obesity and other preventable diseases. After 11 years of getting 100’s of pets to ideal weight and donating over $25,000 to local pet rescues, Fit Pets for Rescues is now Healthy Pet Connect, a subscription-based service available nationally, with a free app for pet parents and a free dashboard for veterinarians. A portion of each subscription will be donated to a pet rescue of their choice. HPC will be at the VMX startup circle in Orlando on June 6-9, 2021.
The free app, an interactive pet health diary, allows input of type/amts of food, treats, weights, exercise and an estimate of Body Condition Score (BCS) similar to BMI. Subscriptions are paired with a personalized feeding system (food scale and a caloric measuring system) that works with all feeding styles & devices and a body weight scale for pets less than 25#. An exam and prescription of an Rx weight management food by their veterinarian is required for pets that are a BCS of 7 out of 9 or higher. The app provides remote monitoring (charts and graphs) to detect abnormal rates of weight loss alerting both the veterinarian and pet parent to ensure safe, effective, weight loss. The service is for both dogs & cats and is also effective in detecting unintentional weight loss to help in early detection of hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, IBD & frailty.
