Smart Collars for Heart Failure: Gimmick or Life-Saver?

Is your "gut feel" enough to catch a heart failure relapse?

Counting breaths and watching for "slowing down" are the gold standards of home monitoring, but in the real world, it is incredibly difficult to stay consistent. This is where smart collars and wearable monitors are changing the game for veterinary cardiology.

In this video, Dave breaks down the reality of tracking collars for dogs and cats with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) or Stage B2 heart disease. We discuss why traditional monitoring often fails, which devices actually have validated data, and—most importantly—what these tools can and cannot replace.
