I'm also pretty pleased with the ability to "compete" with other dogs like him to help motivate us into a healthy habit. (This feature can be turned off so you don’t get requests if you don’t want that type of social engagement).
The app is easy to use and typically updates with tracking information quickly. I haven't had to charge yet and it's been two weeks. I would usually have to charge my Whistle around now. Also, I love that it syncs to my apple watch activity so I can see my activity alongside my pups (neat feature since I can gauge how many steps to reach for next).
Price is less than a Whistle and doesn’t require a subscription- heavy plus. Now for constructive feedback:
I would love to see recommendations for activity based on Breed and Lifestage (age) or other possible tracking options for health (scratching/feeding/drinking patterns) which I can give to the vet to help with ensuring my pup is always feeling his best!
I would also love additional accessories (clip for fitbark to easily attach to any collar rather than the zip ties). There are etsy sellers that do this and that’s where I bought mine but I think it's a lost opportunity for fitbark not to offer.
Other than that, very happy with my purchase and would/already have recommended it to others :)
One of the things we loved about the original Fitbark was its size and shape. Shaped like a bone it fits well against a collar. It’s relatively small size is great for dogs of all sizes, unlike some of the competitors. The Fitbark 2 is slightly larger than the original but it’s still small enough that it fits well on our smallest 5lb chihuahua, Liberté.
The other big upgrade here is the way the Fitbark 2 attaches to the collar. Originally it was attached with two rubber bands. We never had any trouble with that system but some people did. The new Fitbark uses a ziptie method that is sure to stand up to just about anything. It even comes with extra zip ties if you want to change out your dogs collar. It’s a huge upgrade compared to the old method.
Perhaps the biggest change is the battery life. With the original Fitbark we could get 7 to 10 days on a charge. With three dogs that’s a lot of charging. The new Fitbark 2 is estimated to get up to 6 months on a single charge. Yes, you read that right. Six months between charges. In our first test I can say we got just over five months on our first charge. In a year that means from charging 40 or 50 times to maybe twice. That means more uninterrupted monitoring of your favorite furry friend.
One of the most fun upgrades to the Fitbark 2 is the ability to buy different colored covers. With the original Fitbark you bought a particular color for your dog and that was it. Now the Fitbark 2 comes in a standard black but you can buy covers for a few bucks to switch out depending on your dogs fashions sense. It may seem silly but I love it. This cover is what you pop off in order to charge the Fitbark.
One last upgrade I’ll mention is the charging port. In the original Fitbark the charging port was a standard USB mini. It had a rubber cap that would cover it to help with water proofing; but many of us took extra precautions to protect the Fitbark for our swimming pups, like wrapping them in water balloons or a surgical gloves finger etc. The new Fitbark 2, however, has a radically different charging port that uses a simple contact point so there is no possibility of water getting into the device. The new Fitbark 2 is definitely a more rugged device than the original.
In the years we have been using Fitbark some things have not changed. The Fitbark team offers unparalleled customer service. One example is apropos of the how diligent they are at helping. I was having a problem with the wifi base station. I told the Fitbark customer support what equipment I was using. It seemed to be my AirPort Extreme was not communicating correctly with the base station. Fabrizio, the guy that was helping me, told me he was going to head over to the Apple store and get one so that he could do some tests in his office. He did exactly that and then got back to me with a fix. I was impressed. I am not exaggerating when I say it’s the best customer service I’ve ever experienced.
If you’re wondering what the Fitbark actually does or why anybody would want one, I can only say that I look at it as investment in my relationship with my dogs. By monitoring their activity levels it keeps me honest on these cold and dreary North East winters to make sure our pups get the exercise and activity they need and want. But it also monitors their inactivity which is vitally important. You might have a general idea of how much activity you get your dog but it can be nearly impossible to monitor their sleep and this is where the Fitbark shines. A big change in your dogs sleeping patterns is a sure sign that something is amiss. It has definitely helped us in monitoring our oldest dogs health and get him to the vet sooner than we would have other wise.
We absolutely love the new Fitbark 2. It’s more rugged than the original. It has an insane battery life. And you’ve got the ability to swap out different colored covers. If you run into any problems you have one of the best customer support teams in existence. If you’ve gotten this far in the review it’s time to add the Fitbark 2 to your cart. You and your dog will not regret it.

Very easy to setup, took less than 15 minutes to figure out the charging, securing it to his collar and downloading the app. Once done, the fun begins with quick Bluetooth connection to the FitBark and all the details of my furbaby's activities are shown in an easy-to-use/understand visual app.
The FitBark app shows the steps per day, you can set the goal - and measures also sleep score, calories and miles. I don't know how accurate they are, but I find the information useful to calculate how my furbaby is doing every day and if we need more activity, or less - and more rest.
Great for when you also have your dog at a doggie daycare/boarding or dogsitter - then you can measure if they actually took your furbaby out to walk or not by their activity level, which records while you're not in range for Bluetooth, but once you're back in range within a few feets, easily connects to the app. Also, I've had the FitBark about a month, and haven't had to charge it. The app does keep you informed of battery life so you know when to charge at low power.
Highly recommended! Fun, and keeps you and your furbaby engaged!

Reviewed in Canada on May 9, 2019
The device takes a sample of a period of 4 hours during the night, and tells me how restless my dog has been - so I can monitor the effectiveness of his medication. My vet was very impressed when I could evidence the exact date the medication started to wear off!
It's also great fun; the app syncs with my own Fitbit so we can achieve our targets together!
I had a couple of questions, but the online help team were very quick to respond.
You do just need to be careful how you attach it to the dog's collar. It fastens on with two tiny cable ties, which (because of the place I'd attached it) rubbed and caused my dog's neck to get very sore. I took it off and re-attached to a different part of the collar which meant the cable ties were no longer in drect contact with his neck, and it's fine now.
