Since arriving here at CES 2026, I've written about new AI-integrated pet tech hitting the market, and my colleagues have covered the AI wearables debuting here, too. But one product combines both: an AI wearable for your dog.
Satellai, a pet startup that has made a name for itself by developing AI-integrated pet technology, is debuting a multimodal pet data model and a new smart dog collar.
The collar, called the Satellai Collar Go, centers around a platform the company refers to as Petsense AI. According to the team, the software combines location tracking with motion, sleep and temperature data, then layers on AI to generate insights about a dog's overall well-being. The idea is to move beyond basic metrics like step counts and toward early signals that something might be off, whether that's tracking changes in activity, rest patterns or daily routines.

Rather than presenting owners with charts and raw metrics, the company says the companion app is designed to translate that data into more intuitive updates about your pet's health. The long-term vision is a kind of "digital twin" for your dog, built over time and informed by breed, age and historical behavior.
In theory, that could help pet owners spot potential sickness or disease early on, or at least have more informed conversations with a veterinarian.

Health monitoring is only part of the picture. Like many modern pet wearables, the collar also features GPS tracking and geofencing capabilities, designed for owners who want reassurance when their dog is off-leash or roaming a large property. The hardware itself is positioned as durable and water-resistant, with a 15-day battery life intended to minimize daily charging.
Last year, Satellai released the first edition of its Satellai Collar and its Satellai Tracker for dogs at CES 2025. What makes this rollout stand out, at least conceptually, is the emphasis on prediction. The company frames the collar as a proactive tool, one that could flag subtle behavioral shifts before they become obvious problems. That's an ambitious claim, and one that will ultimately depend on how well the AI performs in real-world conditions across different dogs and lifestyles.
For now, the Satellai collar is focused exclusively on dogs, though the company has hinted that support for cats could come soon.
