Whistle Labs, Inc.

About this app

Care for your pet like never before with this companion app for Whistle smart devices, including Whistle Fit™, Whistle GO Explore™, Whistle Switch™, and our new Whistle Health™.

Since your pet can’t tell you where they are or how they’re feeling, we created the next best thing—a smart device that makes it easy to track and monitor your pet’s health, fitness, gps location**, and so much more—all from one easy-to-use app!

WHAT DOES A WHISTLE SMART DEVICE DO?
Whistle smart devices give you a 360º view of your pet’s overall health by tracking and monitoring their unique health-related behaviors, fitness, GPS location**, and more—right from the Whistle app. You’ll get actionable science-backed insights that are unique to your pet, so you can make smart, informed decisions for your furry family member.

*Health Trends*
Your Whistle smart device tracks your pet’s scratching, licking, sleeping, eating, drinking, and overall Wellness Score. If changes in their patterns might point to potential health issues, you’ll get notified so you can take action.

*GPS Location Tracking*
GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular networks work together to inform you of your pet’s location at all times.

*Customizable Safe Places*
Create boundaries for your pet’s Safe Place locations. Plus, you can manage multiple Safe Places for home, office, or your favorite dog-friendly spots (Wi-Fi is required).

*Escape Alerts*
Get a text, email, or notification when your pet leaves one of your designated Safe Place locations without an approved friend or family member.

*Activity Tracking*
Help your pet get the exercise they need with customized fitness goals based on their breed, age, and weight. Know your pet’s calories burned, distance traveled, minutes active, and more.

*Celebrate Achievements*
Earn badges when your pet meets daily activity goals, reaches new milestones, hits a new winning streak, and much more. Achievements are a fun way to look back and celebrate your hard work together!

*Ask a vet*
Connect to a vet right from the Whistle app.

Ratings and reviews

Works inconsistently. My dog sometimes has left the geofence area for a long time (15+ minutes) and the devise does not report it. Used to work well, and I thought degradation in service was due to the tracker being old (bought first one about 4 years ago), but I just purchased a new one and still am having the same problem.

I have three and not a single one ever has any health data. They have also gotten worse on tracking. Multiple times I've needed to locate and all I ever get is having trouble connecting. Two I've had for several years, just added a puppy and new GPS, same issues, plus bonus that it has to be recharged twice as often as the older devices. Subscriptions are coming up for renewal, won't be keeping these.

The app was a little glitchy, but it has improved. It is exactly what I am looking for as a health trends, activity, and occasional GPS locator. Please note approx 30% charge is needed to use the GPS locator for 15-20min so you may want to charge the device more frequently so it doesn't get too low. With normal activity however, a charge lasts approx 2 weeks. Fully waterproof!!

What's new

This release is all about notifications!

You can now control notifications per pet. For example, you can have your neighbor's dog in your app and turn off prompts to walk them or charge their Whistle battery.

Journaling has been a huge hit. You can now receive a reminder to journal on a schedule you choose.

Finally, notifications for non-critical things will now only come during the daytime.
