Challenges - Data PrivacyData privacy is a key challenge because these collars collect continuous health and behaviour information that must be stored, processed, and shared responsibly. Pet owners may become cautious if they are unclear about how data is used, who can access it, or how securely it is protected.
This challenge also affects trust between technology providers, veterinarians, and consumers. Clear consent practices, secure systems, and transparent communication are important for wider acceptance. Without strong privacy safeguards, even well-designed products may face hesitation from buyers who value both pet health and responsible data handling.
For instance, in January 2025, Tractive’s next-generation tracker gathers health-related indicators in addition to precise GPS routes, deepening the sensitivity of the information held in its systems. As the company scales in North America and beyond, managing cross-border data protection rules and customer trust becomes increasingly important.
One of the leading players in November 2025, PetPace’s AI collar was profiled for enabling secure data sharing between pet owners and veterinarians, including pilots for tracking epilepsy episodes remotely. This kind of longitudinal, objective data stream is exactly what clinics want when they talk about “vet-grade” wearables, because it supports earlier intervention and more evidence-based treatment decisions.
