Animal Alerts is powered by data from the PetPace smart collar for dogs. Designed with the comfort and well-being of the pet in mind, the collar makes use of electrode-free non-invasive sensors. The collar collects and transmits data in near real-time to a centralized cloud-based dashboard. PetPace uses the most advanced AI algorithms to derive powerful insights about the pet's health. The highly sensitive technology makes it possible to tap into the full potential of pet health data.

Throughout history there have been scientific studies and observations of animals behaving abnormally before earthquakes. From sudden howling and fleeing to biting and pacing, their anxiety levels rise when they sense danger. Led by PetPace and advised by Dr. Rachel Grant, the first phase of the project is currently underway in Lima, Peru, one of the most seismically active regions in the world. Shared anomalies in the behavior of multiple dogs and seismic data are analyzed along with other geophysical factors.

Animal Alerts is a project led by PetPace to develop the first earthquake warning system powered by pet health data.

Animal Alerts is a project led by PetPace to develop the first earthquake warning system powered by pet health data.

By detecting changes in the anxiety level, alongside other animal health data, we could identify indicators for potential earthquakes.
