Our take
For a long time, dog collars and leashes have remained largely unchanged. Fi was set up by a product team drawn from the ranks of Uber, Square, and Google to disrupt the stagnant dog collar space. Fi's smart collars include tracking and monitoring features that give owners peace-of-mind. They can monitor, for example, the sleep and health of their furry friends. Plus, real-time escape notifications have already saved the lives of dogs. With a tracking range that far exceeds that of its competitors, the company has seen promising levels of adoption for its collars. Fi continues to innovate, for example with the launch of the Fi Series 3+ which is the world's first AI-powered smart dog collar.
