Optical PPG is not an ECG.No SpO₂ monitoring. Measurements are for wellness-trend reference only.
From setup to everyday insight
Set it up once,choose the right mode.
Add each PawGuardian using its unique device code and binding code. From there, the app keeps pet profiles, device assignments, and monitoring records clearly organized.
Bind the device
Enter the device code and binding code to add your PawGuardian to the app.
Assign each pet
Reassign a device between pet profiles when needed, or use separate devices with separate pets for simultaneous recording.
Choose one mode
Set up heart-rate monitoring on the dog, or prepare the separate respiration module for sleep monitoring. The two modes do not run together.
Review the pattern
Check live device status, optical PPG, outdoor location, and up to 30 days of heart-rate and respiration trends.
Mode choice matters
Heart rate or sleep respiration.
Use one monitoring mode at a time and follow its placement requirements.
Heart rate + optical PPG
Position the main device so the sensors maintain direct contact with the skin, then turn on heart-rate monitoring in the app. Poor contact, loose placement, fur, or movement can make readings unstable or inaccurate.
Respiration rate
Attach the separate respiration module magnetically to the main unit. Do not place it on the pet; place the unit on a stable surface at least 30 cm away while the pet is sleeping.
Skin-contact monitoring
Proper fit matters.
PawGuardian must sit below the chest with the sensor surface in direct contact with the skin.
- 01Position below the chest
Do not place the device on the side or back of the chest.
- 02Secure both ends
Attach both ends to a compatible harness to reduce movement.
- 03Maintain direct skin contact
Move fur aside and adjust the harness so the sensors remain against the skin.
Medium & large dogsStrap-style or open-center harness
Harness not included. Check chest space and harness compatibility before purchasing.
8 colorways
One for every personality.
Choose from eight device, base, logo, and strap combinations.
Screen colors may differ slightly from the actual product. The body, base, logo, and strap combination will depend on the colorway ordered.

Before you begin
Good data startswith the right setup.
Quick answers about binding, placement, monitoring modes, GPS, and what PawGuardian data is designed to show.
How do I add a device and manage multiple pets?
Add each device with its device code and binding code. You can reassign a device between pet profiles, or assign separate devices to separate pets so multiple pets can be recorded at the same time.
What is required for heart-rate monitoring?
Fit the main device below the chest with the sensor against the skin, secure it to a compatible harness, and turn on heart-rate monitoring in the app. Incorrect or loose placement can produce unstable or inaccurate data.
Can heart rate and respiration run together?
No. Heart-rate monitoring and respiration monitoring are separate operating modes and cannot run at the same time.
How do I set up respiration monitoring?
Attach the respiration module magnetically to the main hardware unit. It does not need to be worn. Place it on a stable surface at least 30 cm from the pet while the pet is sleeping, then use respiration mode in the app.
Why can’t the device find a GPS signal?
GPS may be unavailable indoors, near tall structures, or where the sky is obstructed. Move to an open outdoor area and allow about 3–5 minutes for the device to acquire satellites.
What is the optical PPG waveform for?
It visualizes the relative optical pulse signal over short intervals, helping you assess contact and signal stability while providing a reference for heart-rate trends. Motion and poor fit can distort the waveform. It is not an ECG and cannot diagnose a medical condition.
How much wellness history can I review?
The app can retain up to 30 days of heart-rate and respiration-rate trends, helping you review changes over time.
Which phones, tablets, languages, and regions are supported?
PawGuardian currently supports iOS only, on iPhone and iPad, in English and Chinese. The app is available through the Apple App Store in the United States and China.
PawGuardian provides wellness-trend references only. It is not a veterinary medical device and does not replace professional veterinary care.
