But what if your dog is a little chubby? Never fear! Your pup can get his or her very own FitBark. Or PitPat. Or PetPace. These devices have more in common than silly names. They all help monitor a pet’s activity and health. Some also track location (in case the pet gets lost). Sounds great, but these devices cost up to $100 or even more. It may seem ridiculous to spend so much to track a dog’s day. It’s just sleep, play, eat, play some more, right?
