At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Satellai's new AI-powered dog collar, the Collar Go, won CNET's Best of CES award in the pet tech category. The device uses artificial intelligence to monitor health indicators like movement, sleep, and behavior, aiming to detect potential issues early. This launch highlights a shift toward preventive pet care through data-driven insights.
CES 2026, held in Las Vegas, showcased advancements in pet technology, with a particular emphasis on AI applications for health and safety. Among the standouts, Satellai impressed with its Collar Go, an AI wearable designed exclusively for dogs. The company, which previously debuted the Satellai Collar and Tracker at CES 2025, positioned this latest product as a proactive health tool rather than a simple fitness tracker.
The Collar Go integrates Petsense AI software, which combines data from location tracking, motion sensors, sleep patterns, and temperature monitoring to generate insights into a dog's well-being. According to Satellai, the companion app translates this information into intuitive updates, creating a 'digital twin' profile based on the dog's breed, age, and historical behavior. This approach aims to flag subtle changes in activity or routines that could signal early health concerns, enabling owners to consult veterinarians more effectively.
Hardware features include GPS tracking and geofencing for off-leash safety, along with a durable, water-resistant design and a 15-day battery life to support everyday use. The Petsense AI update will be provided free to existing Satellai device owners, while the Collar Go is available for preorder at $79, with a launch discount reducing it to $67. Full access to features like multi-dog monitoring requires a subscription, priced at $12 per month for six months, $9 per month for a year, or $6 per month for two years.
Satellai's focus on prediction over basic metrics earned it the top spot in pet tech, reflecting broader trends in the category toward personalized, AI-enhanced care. While ambitious, the collar's real-world effectiveness will depend on AI performance across diverse dogs and environments. For now, it bridges pet wearables with practical health benefits, appealing to midrange pet owners.
