Abstract
The awareness of consumers regarding the pets they own, the pet health demand and the overall growth in the number of people owning pets has subsequently fuelled the demand for new ideas in the field of pet health care. This research majorly focuses on the creation and validation of a health Smart Paws collar that is capable of managing pet health and safety issues through technological innovation. The research used both quantitative and qualitative research method, with data obtained from monitoring the pet' daily activities with the Smart Paws collar and feedback from pet owners on the use of the collars. Users of the Smart Paws collar are randomly sourced and willing participants who allow researchers to record the data on them for six months. The findings reveal the positive impact of Smart Paws collar in terms of accuracy in monitoring pet’s health, owner’s satisfaction with nutritional information provided, recording of owner-pet interactions, and reduction of anxiety in regard to the pets’ safety. While the research also formalized the identified challenges that Smart Paws collars present, it still gives confidence to investors in Smart Paws and indicates the merits of the company’s market breakthrough by addressing such issues.
