Faro GPS dog collar with health monitoring. Built for dogs that never stop.
Radar health sensing, satellite-ready GPS, and Pulse Therapy - not bolted on. Integrated.
PawPulse Faro is a smart dog collar with professional-grade radar health monitoring, GPS with LTE and satellite-ready backup, and built-in Pulse Therapy. Health, location, and calm - genuinely integrated at the hardware level, not feature-listed on a spec sheet.
Behind the name
Why Faro?
Faro means lighthouse: a steady signal when visibility drops and distance starts to matter. We named it deliberately. Your Faro smart dog collar brings professional-grade radar sensing, satellite-ready GPS, and three anxiety modes into one guidance system for your dog. You stop guessing. Faro keeps the signal clear.
Faro from every angle.
The front hero view, exploded hardware view, low side profile, and AA-battery size comparison show how compact Faro really is when it is worn on-collar.

Every layer visible: the radar module, LTE antenna, GPS stack, battery, and haptic actuator - all inside something your dog forgets they're wearing.

This is how much hardware fits in 9.5mm. For reference: that's an AA battery.
Your dog can't call you.
Faro can.
Built-in Pulse Therapy for dog anxiety. Three modes, no extra gadget.
Most dog anxiety solutions need you home, nearby, or waiting for a pill to kick in. Faro activates Pulse Therapy from your phone - while you're at work, while the storm is happening, whether your dog is in the backyard or across the house.
Deep Calm
55Hz continuous
55Hz continuous - the frequency range mammals respond to instinctively. Runs quietly for home-alone stress, general nervousness, and the low-grade edge some dogs carry all day.
Heartbeat Mode
60 BPM rhythm
60 BPM - a resting heartbeat, externalized. For dogs who spiral when they cannot hear yours. Best for nights, thunderstorms, and any time they need a rhythm to borrow.
Storm Mode
Grounding counter-pressure pattern
Variable deep-pressure pattern for the hard ones: fireworks, vet tables, car rides, and any trigger that hits fast and hits hard.

32+ Dog Health Metrics. Zero Skin Contact.
Faro reads heart rate, respiration, sleep stages, stress load, pain signals, activity, and breath chemistry through the fur, without touching skin. No clips, no patches, no shaving. The professional-grade radar does it from outside.

GPS dog collar coverage that does not quit where cellular does.
Most GPS dog collars work great until they do not. Cell towers thin out, mountains eat signal, and the location alert sits in a queue.
LTE + NTN Ready
Satellite Backup Planned
5-10 ft Typical GPS
Why this is hard to build
Cellular-only GPS collars
- ✕Cell-only GPS dog collars go dark in mountains, rural parks, and open water.
- ✕Always-on polling burns through a small battery fast.
- ✕Alerts queue until coverage returns. Too late for most moments that matter.
- ✕Real satellite backup needs the antenna, radio, firmware, and carrier locked in before the collar ships. You cannot retrofit it later.
Faro
- ✓LEO Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) - the same infrastructure reshaping industrial IoT coverage
- ✓Satellite antenna is part of the Faro hardware architecture, not a module bolted on after the fact
- ✓Switches from LTE to satellite-ready backup automatically when cellular coverage drops
- ✓Built specifically for the terrain where your dog is most likely to actually run

Dog breath health monitoring with VOC sensing. Your collar reads the chemistry.
Breathe easy.
Faro analyzes the air your dog exhales. Volatile organic compounds shift before symptoms show up - flagging dental disease, metabolic changes, and early systemic stress the way a lab panel would, except it is happening on their collar, every day.
- Dental health indicators
- Metabolic change detection
- Air quality monitoring (smoke, gas, allergens)
Real-Time Air Quality Alerts for Your Dog.
Before you even smell it.
Faro detects wildfire smoke, carbon monoxide, and airborne allergens before your dog has been in it long enough for it to matter. Alert hits your phone. You call them back.
- Wildfire smoke detection
- Carbon monoxide + VOC gas alert
- Allergen exposure tracking
