Products & Fit
Lucero is built for dogs that need stronger GPS context, health monitoring, and anxiety support in one connected collar. Sizing guidance for adjustable fit is published on the Lucero product page.
PawPulse continuously derives 32+ health signals, including 10 core vitals such as HR, HRV, respiratory rate, sleep quality and stage, stress, pain, activity, breath depth, and breath VOC, plus 22+ derived trends, anomaly counters, and breed-adjusted indices.
No. PawPulse combines health monitoring, location intelligence, and Pulse Rhythm in one product system for earlier awareness, better context, and faster action when something changes.
Health & Calm
PawPulse compares live signals against a pet-specific baseline instead of relying on generic averages. That helps reduce noisy notifications while making real changes easier to spot.
Pulse Rhythm is PawPulse calming support built into Lucero. It gives you another tool inside the same app and collar experience when your dog needs help settling.
VOC monitoring adds environmental and wellness context to the PawPulse signal stack. It can help surface changes related to air quality and other wellness patterns alongside the broader health picture.
No. PawPulse is a consumer wellness monitoring platform, not a diagnosis or treatment substitute. It is designed to help you notice changes sooner and share better context with your veterinarian.
Battery & Location
We are not publishing battery figures yet. What we can say: battery life is a game changer compared with the collars we tested, several of which needed charging far too often. Lucero is built for long stretches between charges, and exact endurance will vary with tracking mode, firmware, signal conditions, and how the collar is used. Full figures come at launch.
Lucero uses a broader location stack built for stronger outdoor tracking context, including cellular and satellite-ready backup when the use case calls for it.
Yes. Lucero is engineered with LTE plus satellite-ready backup. Final satellite availability depends on carrier support, launch configuration, certification, and regional rollout.
Lucero is designed to an IP67 rating; the final certified rating is confirmed at launch. That target covers real-world pet wear including rain, mud, river crossings, and daily outdoor use.
Pricing & Launch
Lucero retails at $449. A $5 Pioneer Reservation locks in Lucero at $336 (25% off) and a $20 Founders Circle seat (only 50 seats) locks in $291 (35% off), both with early Kickstarter access. Kickstarter reward tiers are Super Early Bird $359 (20% off), Early Bird $381 (15% off), and public Wolf Pack $404 per collar (10% off), with tier availability depending on launch inventory and Kickstarter timing. Health Plan pricing will be announced at CES 2027.
Plan structure depends on the product and the service layer being used. Nothing is final until launch, and the pricing and Kickstarter pages will carry the current public details as they are announced.
Yes. The compare page shows how Lucero stacks up against Fi, Halo, SATELLAI, SpotOn, Tractive, and other alternatives across health, battery, weight, Pulse Rhythm, and location.
PawPulse is targeting a Spring 2027 launch, pending certification and production validation. If that changes, the pricing, Kickstarter, and press pages will carry the latest public details.
Vet & Support
Yes. Vet sharing is part of the PawPulse platform. It makes trend history, alerts, and context easier to review outside a short in-clinic visit.
For support, press, or partnership requests, the contact page is the right channel. Response times depend on queue volume, and the form routes your message to the right team.
The vets page is the best starting point for clinics. It explains shared access, workflow benefits, and how PawPulse fits into a veterinary workflow without extra complexity.
PawPulse was founded in 2025 by Nate Lutz and is based in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the sole inventor on all of its pending patent applications, covering radar-based pet health sensing, breed-aware baseline learning, and on-collar haptic calming.
