NTT DOCOMO Announces New Pet Service "PetFit"

NTT DOCOMO held a press conference on February 13 at Ebisu Garden Place in Tokyo to announce "PetFit," Japan's first new service for dog lovers launching in March.

PetFit is a new service that allows users to monitor their dog's condition via smartphone or tablet by attaching the dedicated "PetFit Tag 01" to the dog's collar. It enables health management tracking of activity levels, calorie intake/expenditure, sleep duration, and more. If the dog gets lost, its location can be confirmed using the GPS function. The PetFit Tag 01 features 3G communication, an accelerometer, temperature sensor, and GPS. It is used in conjunction with the indoor component "PetFit Station 01," which pairs with the tag.

Model Angelica Michibata, who appeared with her dog as a guest, shared her experience using the service: "It's incredibly convenient to know how my dog is doing while I'm away. I can also check calorie counts at a glance. Since small dogs require careful weight management, this has really heightened my awareness about their health." She added, "Since we can't communicate with words, I hope PetFit helps deepen the bond between you and your dog even more."
