We built PawPulse becausehealth, location, and calm belong together.
PawPulse Lucero combines GPS tracking, professional-grade radar health monitoring, and built-in Pulse Therapy in one smart dog collar. We built it because pet families should not have to choose between location, health insight, and calmer routines.
Prism Insights looks for repeatable changes before it notifies you, so alerts feel useful instead of noisy.
Company perspective
Pet care works better when the signals connect.
Most collars solve only one part of the day. GPS helps when a dog is away from home. Activity tracking shows movement. Calming support usually lives somewhere else entirely.
Lucero brings sensing, context, and response into one daily-wear system.
2021
The gap was visible
GPS trackers were good at one thing. Health monitors were fragmented. Dog anxiety solutions needed you present to work. The category was full of partial answers.
2023
The health monitoring stack became real
Kinetic sensor platform, Prism Insights baseline learning, and the patent-pending signal architecture that makes through-fur biometrics work at collar scale.
2025
The IP position closed
25+ patents pending. The sensing and inference architecture is protected because nothing else does it this way, at this size.
2027
Lucero heads to Kickstarter at CES
The flagship smart dog collar with health monitoring, satellite-ready GPS, and Pulse Therapy. Kickstarter launch planned during CES 2027, with estimated delivery in spring 2027 pending certification and production validation.
The founder
PawPulse was founded by Nate Lutz, the sole inventor on the company's 25+ pending patents covering radar-based pet health monitoring, breed-aware baseline learning, and on-collar haptic therapy. The decision to build Lucero around through-fur radar came from a simple observation: every existing pet wearable was a smaller version of a human one, and dogs are not small humans with collars. PawPulse is engineered specifically for the canine signal, on canine hardware, at canine scale.
Why it matters
Every Heartbeat. Heard.
PawPulse exists to catch the health signal before it becomes the symptom. Earlier detection. Clearer GPS context. Pulse Therapy when it counts.
What guides the product
Smart dog collar tech built for the owner who actually reads the vet report.
