Product Description
-------------------
We are on a mission to get dogs and humans y together. A
dog is an ideal exercise partner, and being commited to a dog
enables us to commit to physical activity ourselves. So we
designed FitBark, a beautiful sensor that monitors your dog’s
daily activity and and turns it into BarkPoints, so you can
track progress. It’s a new way to keep your dog (and you!)
y, explain changes in behavior, make better decisions with
your vet, and share memorable moments with friends & family.

a cool product that any dog can wear - including the toy breeds.
