In recent years, society has shown an increase in pet ownership, however, only a few companies exist to help pet owners keep track of their pet’s health. This paper designs a tool to help track pet owners measure the amount of steps their dogs have taken to measure their pet’s health. We applied our application to our dogs and conducted a qualitative evaluation of the approach. The results show that the tool indeed works and will track the pet’s steps taken, location, and provides a fun and engaging way to interact with the app.
