Lucero GPS dog collar with health monitoring. Built for dogs that never stop.
Radar health sensing, satellite-ready GPS, and Pulse Therapy in one smart dog collar.
PawPulse Lucero is a smart dog collar with professional-grade radar health monitoring, GPS with LTE and satellite-ready backup, and built-in Pulse Therapy. It helps you see health patterns, location context, and calming routines from one PawPulse app.
Behind the name
Why Lucero?
Lucero means the morning star: the first light before the day is clear. PawPulse Lucero brings earlier health signals, GPS context, and calming support into one smart dog collar.
Lucero product renders and scale.
One clean product render, one hardware breakdown, and one AA-battery size comparison show how compact Lucero really is when it is worn on-collar.

Health changes can start quietly.
Lucero helps make them visible.
Most pet health drift is gradual: HRV slipping across weeks, sleep quality eroding, breath chemistry shifting before the cough or the lethargy or the limp. The visible signs are the late signs. Lucero watches the early ones, every hour, through fur.
Built-in Pulse Therapy for dog anxiety. Three modes, no extra gadget.
Built-in haptic vibration uses gentle pulse patterns proven to reduce separation anxiety and fear responses — without medication.
Deep Calm
Gentle 55 Hz vibration
Sustained low-frequency calming for home-alone stress and mild day-to-day anxiety.
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.
The full Lucero. Health, GPS, Pulse Therapy.
One collar, estimated spring 2027 delivery. Kickstarter launches during CES 2027.
32+ Dog Health Signals. Zero Skin Contact.
Lucero 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.
Lucero's radar telemetry continuously derives 32+ health signals, including 10 core vitals and 22+ derived trends, anomaly counters, and breed-adjusted indices.

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
- xCell-only GPS dog collars go dark in mountains, rural parks, and open water.
- xAlways-on polling burns through a small battery fast.
- xAlerts queue until coverage returns. Too late for most moments that matter.
- xReal satellite backup needs the antenna, radio, firmware, and carrier locked in before the collar ships. You cannot retrofit it later.
Lucero
- +LEO Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) - the same infrastructure reshaping industrial IoT coverage
- +Satellite antenna is part of the Lucero 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.
Volatile organic compounds are the chemistry of breath. They shift when teeth go bad. They shift when metabolism shifts. They shift in homes where smoke or solvents are in the air. Lucero's onboard VOC sensor reads breath chemistry continuously through the collar, surfacing changes that nothing else on the dog can catch, without a blood draw or a separate sensor on the wall.
- Dental health indicators: changes in breath VOC profile linked to periodontal change, weeks before visible signs.
- Metabolic shift detection: drift in breath chemistry that can precede systemic changes.
- Air quality awareness: smoke, gas, and allergen exposure your dog is breathing while you are not in the room.
Real-Time Air Quality Alerts for Your Dog.
Before you even smell it.
Dogs breathe faster and lower than you do. They get more of the air. Lucero's air-quality sensing flags exposure to wildfire smoke, carbon monoxide, household VOCs, and seasonal allergens in time to act, not in time to apologize.
- Wildfire smoke alerts through California, Oregon, and Canadian fire seasons.
- Carbon monoxide and household VOC gas detection.
- Pollen and allergen exposure trends across the seasons.
