This is pet Life Radio. Let's talk pets.
2
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.679
Hello pet levers, Welcome to Best Bets for Pets. I'm
3
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.480
your show host, Michelle Bern. You know, we've come a
4
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.320
long way as far as you know what we use
5
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.119
on our pets, and one of the biggest things, of
6
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.880
course with our dogs is making sure they're secure. And
7
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.159
one of the new things out is AI. We're recording
8
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.920
this end of twenty twenty five. It'll be aired twenty
9
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.920
twenty six. And everybody's interested in AI, which is not
10
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:51.840
brand new but still kind of new. What about combining
11
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.039
AI and using it for your dog? While my guest
12
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.520
today has a product that does that, and we'll be
13
00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.119
right back to talk about it.
14
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:05.079
Take a bite out of your competition, advertise your business
15
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.359
with an ad. In pet Life Radio podcasts and radio shows,
16
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.319
there is no other pet related media that is as
17
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.480
large and reaches more pet parents and pet lovers than
18
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.439
pet Life Radio, with over seven million monthly listeners. Pet
19
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.560

Let's talk pets on petlifradio dot com.
26
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.200
Welcome back everyone. I'd like to welcome David Teaster, the
27
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:05.879
product marketing director at Satellite. It is a new product.
28
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:10.000
It's the world's first pet centric AI and E caller.
29
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.599
Welcome David, Thanks so much for having me.
30
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.800
Thrilled to have you on this show. What does AI
31
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.919
and E stand for? We know AI, but what is
32
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:19.639
the E part?
33
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.919
Yeah, so that's a wonderful question. So obviously AI, as
34
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:26.120
you said, we all know it artificial intelligence. The E
35
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.280
is more about electronic and it's just to say that
36
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.520
this is a hardware product that also works with AI.
37
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.919
So the AI is kind of more software related, whereas
38
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.719
the hardware. The E caller is an electronic device that
39
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.520
helps track your dog's different metrics so that the AI
40
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:45.120
has more data to work off of.
41
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:50.560
Okay, and what does the pet centric AI mean? And
42
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.360
how is this different from traditional pet tech?
43
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.840
So the reason we say pet centric, well, I should
44
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:58.879
think about which of those two questions to start with.
45
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.719
Maybe we can start with how it's different from traditional
46
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.919
pet tech. I would say with traditional pet tech, you're
47
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:09.319
looking more at things that do more simple kind of functions,
48
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:14.319
and while that's been expanding in recent years similar products
49
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.879
like ours, I think adding more AI functions into it
50
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.280
takes it to the next level. So what differentiates it
51
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.159
more is with traditional pet tech, you had devices that
52
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.960
just kind of help you interact with your pet, whereas
53
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.199
with Satellite we're looking to combine everything into one spot
54
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.400
where you have hardware and software working together, because really
55
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.840
we want to make sure that every pet is connected, protected,
56
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.960
cared for, and safe. And so that's something that we're
57
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.400
building towards with all the different products that we're releasing.
58
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.960
And as you said, we've got a new product already.
59
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:51.159
Our first product launched back in April of this year,
60
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.840
the Satellite Caller, which provides a lot of different functions
61
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:59.319
for people, including virtual fencing also known as geo fencing
62
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:04.080
or GPS fencing, which is training based boundaries that you
63
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.159
set up via the app, and then it gives feedback
64
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.120
to your dog through the collar through a vibration, a
65
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.840
whistle or something to help keep your dog in those
66
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.240
safe limits. But at the same time, we have sensors
67
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.480
inside that track when your dog's moving and when your
68
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.959
dog's resting to start giving you those insights into your
69
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.079
dog's behavior and activity patterns. Similar to the way that smart
70
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:31.160
wearables work for people, we can actually log these different
71
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.439
changes over time and then you get this pattern based.
72
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:38.160
What we're looking to do in twenty twenty six, especially
73
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.639
because we're looking to expand out our AI functions, is
74
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.560
that it will actually one have more specific algorithmic breakdowns
75
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.399
to what type of activity your pet is undergoing. So
76
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.319
right now our products are specific to dogs, so it
77
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.199
should be able to break down how much your dog
78
00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:01.879
is walking versus running, versus jumping, versus resting versus you know,
79
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.839
licking or even shaking its head. And so that's one
80
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.480
aspect of what we're looking at with the AI. On
81
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.360
top of that, we hope to be able to give
82
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.199
reports that reference all this different data to help give
83
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.600
you kind of a brief overview into what's going on
84
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.240
with your dog. And then on top of that too,
85
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.879
we actually have an LLN inside our application that you
86
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.079
can ask it questions and it will be able to
87
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.839
refer to this data that it's collected as well as
88
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.800
the information that you've given it when you registered in
89
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.000
the app and start giving you better insights into your
90
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:36.680
pets overall well being.
91
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.439
It's amazing what technology can do. That sounds amazing. So
92
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.000
a couple of comments, So it sounds like in a
93
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.439
sense the collar is what is I don't know. I
94
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.000
think it's quarm that the ring that people wear. I
95
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.920
don't wear one, but there's a ring that senses your
96
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.600
you know, people's sleep and health and all of that.
97
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.240
It sounds like the data is similar to that, but
98
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.480
for your dog. Is that compare?
99
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.439
Yeah, I think that's a good way to kind of
100
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.759
compare it. Because actually our founders their background was in
101
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.199
smart wearables for people. They were working for a maze fit,
102
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.120
which is one of the big smart wearable companies, and
103
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.959
they wanted to bring these same kind of information and
104
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.439
insights to the pet space because I can track my
105
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:20.680
own health and see these patterns and see what's going
106
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.839
on and I know what it means like this changes.
107
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.480
But with your dog there's an extra step because your
108
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:29.399
dog can't give you the context of what was going
109
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.639
on or communicate what it encountered through what your dog
110
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.240
encountered throughout the day. So I think the AI gives
111
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.439
us this extra bit of context and this pattern recognition
112
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.839
that really helps us know what's going on with our
113
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.879
dogs and helps us see immediately when they're not feeling
114
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:46.879
their best.
115
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.240
Okay, so let's break it down for people that are
116
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.879
don't understand tech or little late getting onto AI. So
117
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:58.360
the electronic part would be any vibrations or sounds to
118
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:00.600
kind of alert your dog right.
119
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.720
In the past, Yeah, that has been I'd say in
120
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.399
our case, it's more just related to the fact that
121
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:08.920
it has the sensors and it can kind of record
122
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:13.160
all this data. We have different products coming out in Europe.
123
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.079
We already launched the Satellite Caller Go, which is a
124
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.839
smaller version that doesn't have quite all the virtual fencing functions,
125
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.319
but it's much smaller and it can fit dogs of
126
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.279
more sizes, but it does still have the sensors inside
127
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.839
of it to help you see what's going on with
128
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.519
your dog, what kind of activity they have. A lot
129
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.759
of times, what's going on is these are also GPS
130
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.680
tracking devices, so you can actually keep track of where
131
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.399
your dog is. So I'd say, if we wanted to
132
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.439
put it kind of simply, what's going on here is
133
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.399
with the caller go, you know where your dog is,
134
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:51.319
what your dog is doing, and ostensibly, with AI, how
135
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:52.319
your dog is feeling.
136
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.879
Do you think this is a little different, but listening
137
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.279
to this information, do you think at some point when
138
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.600
ugs are chipped, they will, you know, have AI and
139
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.120
the chips so that if your dog is lost, you
140
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.439
could actually look at the chip information and find where
141
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:08.800
they are.
142
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.439
I think that's something that would be definitely ideal for
143
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.040
a lot of people right now. I think the limitation
144
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.680
is kind of how you power a device like that
145
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.920
once it's subdermal, because it's so small. But you know,
146
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.160
there's all different ways that you might be able to
147
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.600
make that happen, and it would be people much smarter
148
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.120
than me figuring out how to make that work. But
149
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.519
I think right now we're mostly looking at tracking colleagues
150
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.360
because these are warn't externally and then they can be recharged,
151
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:37.440
whereas something subdermal, I think would have the challenge of
152
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:40.559
keeping it powered so that it can transmit a signal
153
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.360
at all times, and then how do you recharge it
154
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.320
if the battery runs out right?
155
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.799
Exactly exactly? Okay, So let's talk about how the ecolor
156
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.919
and AI work together. So the data that's collected are
157
00:08:55.039 --> 00:09:00.559
you know, posture, movement, vocalization, breathing, sleep, activity levels. How
158
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.840
does the AI turn this data into useful insights for
159
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:05.879
dog pet parents.
160
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.519
Yeah, that's a wonderful question. And I would say where
161
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.720
machine learning in general, but especially with the advent of LLMS,
162
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.600
where this type of technology really excels in my mind,
163
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:22.919
is really just like iterating through repetitive information, detecting patterns
164
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:27.240
and then highlighting changes in those patterns. So with LLMS
165
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.799
that becomes like very conversational thing, and then you can
166
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:34.559
ask it questions that can actually respond, whereas with the
167
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.360
data iteration, it can actually process things very very quickly
168
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.799
and be able to figure out when something's different. Well, asa,
169
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.960
I figure it out. But identify would be a better
170
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.799
way to phrase that. It's able to identify when there's
171
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.639
a sudden change. Now we can already do that with
172
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.600
ourselves with our own smart wearables, and if you use
173
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.039
a traditional activity tracker, you can do that yourself too,
174
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.159
and swipe through the screens and just see, Okay, here's
175
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.120
how much activity they had last week. Here's the bar graph.
176
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.519
For how much activity they had this week, here's the
177
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.240
bar graph for this week, Oh why did it suddenly dip?
178
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.320
But where I think AI is very helpful is it
179
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.600
can kind of start granulating that data and actually identifying
180
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:17.360
these things even better and actually giving you a comprehensive report,
181
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.320
so you don't have to swipe through that data all
182
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.320
by yourself and try to figure out what the patterns are.
183
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.639
It can actually highlight where the changes have happened. And
184
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:27.720
part of what we're looking to do with our future
185
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.679
version of the pet Sence AI, which we're getting ready
186
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.120
to update, is that it will actually give a report
187
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.120
and a health score that lets you know and just
188
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.279
kind of gives you a week by week update of
189
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:43.200
what's going on with your pet and what's changed compared
190
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.519
to last week. And then when you see that, you
191
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.279
know that maybe there's something going on, and you can
192
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.840
get some advice on what could be some causes. And
193
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.120
if you think it's serious enough or even potentially serious enough,
194
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.679
then that's when you start looping in your veterinarian.
195
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:02.159
Okay, So I can see mostly positive little bit of
196
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:07.200
uh ohs that might happen if the you know, you know,
197
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.399
they say doctor Google right, So absolutely, and I have
198
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.039
talked to a lot of veterinarians, and most of them
199
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.600
love this information. I mean you could look at the data.
200
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:21.519
I mean if the data is just a sign, it
201
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:24.720
just gives you information and it's a way, like you said,
202
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.639
to see patterns and so forth. I mean there could
203
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.799
be a dip which could be something, or there could
204
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.399
be nothing, and people might think, well, I don't need
205
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.759
to do my annual that appointment because everything's going as is.
206
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.519
So where do you see the challenges for people understanding
207
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.440
the information well enough to realize it's not a substitute
208
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:47.279
for you know, seeing your veb.
209
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.720
Yeah, I think that is always a concern, and you're absolutely,
210
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.600
in my mind, one hundred percent correct to highlight that
211
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:57.159
because to my mind, where it's helpful is for getting
212
00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.360
that early care. When you identify these problems early, then
213
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.120
you're not doing that that visit in the middle of
214
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:06.200
the night that costs you one to two thousand dollars
215
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:09.519
to do a surgery because your dog's been feeling bad
216
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:11.759
for four days but you didn't realize that they had
217
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:15.240
swallowed something while you weren't watching them, you know, like
218
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:17.200
as a random example.
219
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.360
No, that's happened, It's happened to me and dog get
220
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.639
into stuff that's that's messy where they shouldn't, and it's
221
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:27.200
easy for them to follow something and not realizing. I
222
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.360
had one friend who had a store and she didn't
223
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:34.080
realize her dog had swallowed some some ribbon until she
224
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.440
saw it coming out of his tail.
225
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.679
Yeah, if you're lucky, it's a mundane thing and you're
226
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.000
just like, oh, when did they get into the string?
227
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.799
I'm just seeing that in there when they went to
228
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.200
the bathroom, and you know it passes through, but you know,
229
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:49.080
those things could get impacted. And while the activity data
230
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.159
that we have now wouldn't necessarily tell you your dog
231
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:54.679
swallowed something, no, get help, it would identify that the
232
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:59.200
behavior patterns shifted and your dog maybe isn't feeling very
233
00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.799
well because your dog's not doing the things they normally
234
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:04.799
do at this time of day. Like I see it
235
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.799
more as an early warning system, and then with the
236
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.799
AI we're looking to actually have it also give alerts
237
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.960
when there's sudden changes in behavior, especially sudden extreme changes
238
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.399
in behavior, to help you get that taken care of
239
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.320
early before it becomes a more significant problem.
240
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.799
Okay, so what would a real world example look like
241
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:28.000
in your system? So say you know, I was didn't
242
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:32.480
notice and my I don't know my dog cracked as
243
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.639
tooth or so this is another thing that happened to me,
244
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:38.840
cracked a tooth. Would there be any notification? Would I
245
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:42.600
notice that on the AI device or is there maybe
246
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:43.600
I have a better example.
247
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:47.440
So yeah, that's a really great example actually, because I
248
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:49.600
think it comes back to what does your dog do
249
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.120
when they've cracked their tooth? Well, a lot of times
250
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:53.840
your dog's not going to be eating the way they
251
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:56.480
normally do. And while our current product line may not
252
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.360
necessarily identify that, what it would notice is like the
253
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.159
change in activity levels or the change in energy, the
254
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:06.279
fact that your dog is resting more than before, or
255
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.960
your dog's making different sounds than normal, you know, possibly
256
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.360
detecting barking or whimpering. I think we're also looking at
257
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:17.200
like headshakes and licking as examples. So these changes in behavior,
258
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.000
if it suddenly has a huge uptick, it would actually
259
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:23.519
give you an alert to let you know, hey, something's
260
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:27.519
different than before. Maybe you should look into this. And
261
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.879
if you ask it in the app, you could ask
262
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.399
it what are some potential causes, and it would be
263
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.000
able to give some suggestions on things to look at,
264
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.480
and you could possibly give just kind of a quick
265
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.840
exam yourself just to see, like where does the problem
266
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.440
seem to be originating. And from there, I think you've
267
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:45.960
got a lot more options and you'd be able to
268
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.000
identify that. I think I would hope at a much
269
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:52.279
earlier stage than if you're just waiting for why isn't
270
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.159
my dog getting up and running around like normal? He
271
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:59.320
seems really sluggish today, But actually he's been sluggish for
272
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:03.360
several days. You just it just wasn't noticeable until day
273
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:04.159
four or five.
274
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.320
Understood, Okay, we're gonna take a quick break and we'll
275
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:12.279
be right back. Real people, real stories.
276
00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:15.639
Our little dog developed this lymph problem at the chemotherapy
277
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:19.360
lasted for six months, started developing more lymph nose, so
278
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.720
I thought I'd just try carnivor. If the lymph nose
279
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:23.759
started to go down, then I took him into the
280
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:25.960
vet to him checked out and there was no signs
281
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:26.679
at all. Inside.
282
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.080
My cad had issues that developed in his height, and
283
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:31.679
three months later my ven airing said this, go ahead
284
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.440
and remove the eye. I heard the carnivore on advertising,
285
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:36.279
so I said, you know what, I'm going to order
286
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.799
this product. They did the procedure, they did all the
287
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:40.639
death and they said, I don't know what you did
288
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:41.840
this product.
289
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:43.240
They his eye.
290
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:44.559
I've got a labrador.
291
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.279
You could hardly lift yourself up off the door. The
292
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:48.759
treatment list came to therapy.
293
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:50.399
That's when I said this could.
294
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:50.879
Be the ticket.
295
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.919
About three weeks you could tell she was very alert.
296
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.360
She was going to buy my lock and she is
297
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:57.879
just like crime again.
298
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:01.440
Well eight six six eight three, it's eight seven three five.
299
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.840

307
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:39.440
Welcome back everyone. We're talking to David Teaster. He is
308
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:43.799
the product marketing director at Satellite AI and we're talking
309
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:47.799
about their new collar. So let's talk about first safety
310
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.039
because you know, we always want to make sure our
311
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:53.240
dogs are safe. Is the caller safe? I know there's
312
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.159
some you know, vibrations that the dog can feel and
313
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.720
so forth, but is it absolutely safe and also is
314
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.279
it for all dogs all sizes.
315
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.920
So wonderful questions on both those sides, I think it.
316
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.240
I mean, anytime you've gone an electronic device, you know
317
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.319
there's a battery, then there's always room for something unexpected.
318
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:15.559
But everything we have is CE certified, so it meets
319
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.960
standard safety measures on that regard, so there's no necessarily
320
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.400
more concern about that than you know, any other electronic
321
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.480
device to my mind. Also, when we're looking at it,
322
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.559
you know, we've designed it with the materials to make
323
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.319
sure that everything's kind of too safe and non toxic.
324
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:34.880
So even if your dog like decides to somehow get
325
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:36.799
at it and use the collar as a chew toy,
326
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.119
it's pretty well insulated and it shouldn't cause any problems
327
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.720
on that side, even if they swallowed, say a small
328
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.720
piece of it. You know, obviously that's not ideal, but
329
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.440
it shouldn't have any toxicity to it either, though if
330
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:51.279
that did happen, just for the record, make sure to
331
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.079
get that check out and don't let your dog get
332
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:55.880
at it anymore because it's an electronic device. But on
333
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:58.519
the other side too, it seems like you're also asking
334
00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:02.640
specifically about the feedback functions. Yes, so yeah, so we've
335
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.319
got the whistle, we've got the vibration, and then optionally
336
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:09.279
for dogs but like a really strong prey drive, we
337
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:12.480
have what we call static correction. This is only for
338
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:17.279
the original satellite collar, and I'll address first. The original
339
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.680
satellite caller is for big dogs because it's it's rather hefty,
340
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.119
it's got two satellite transmitters in there, it's got the
341
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.160
vibration motor and all these different things. So it does
342
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:30.319
have an optional static correction. But I hate to mislead
343
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:32.880
people because some people would hear that and say it's
344
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.799
a shock collar, but it's to my mind, it's really not,
345
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:39.359
because it's more of just kind of a physical stimulus,
346
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:42.839
Like I've physically tried this on myself, and the idea
347
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:45.400
behind it is just to kind of create a strong
348
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.359
sensation to get your dog's attention if they're chasing something.
349
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.799
And really it's completely optional because you don't have to
350
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:55.720
install the contact points for that just for the record,
351
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.359
like you can leave those off and then it wouldn't
352
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:00.839
be able to do anything regardless of what you said
353
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.200
it to. It wouldn't be able to activate accidentally or
354
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:06.720
anything like that, which it can't do anyway, but that
355
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:10.680
would one hundred percent remove even the smallest chance. So
356
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.920
that's there. But it's more from the side of giving
357
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:17.720
pet parents every tool we think they might need to
358
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:20.519
keep their pets safe. And so I know, like there's
359
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:22.880
a lot of different types of trainers that look at
360
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:27.599
positive reinforcement versus negative and it's not really our goal
361
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:29.720
to weigh in on that, but to give people the
362
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:31.680
tool that they need to train their dog and keep
363
00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:33.480
their dog in safe limits.
364
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.720
Got it. So for your Houdini dogs that are you know,
365
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.799
constantly you know, escaping your yard or what have you.
366
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:46.400
Even if you are living in rural areas, it's still
367
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:49.160
a good tool. I mean, you think, and let me backcheck.
368
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.400
I had a Houdini dog, but it was in the city.
369
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.400
So in my mind it's a lot better too. You know, Okay,
370
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.039
your dog's go and I feel a little sensation rather
371
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:02.319
than the very unfortunate alternative that your dog might be
372
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:03.960
hit by a car exactly.
373
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:06.119
And that's kind of where I stand on it too.
374
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:09.640
Is again, we're giving options. We're not dictating what you
375
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:13.200
do or don't do. The satellite caller go, it doesn't
376
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:16.559
really even have the fencing function. So if that is
377
00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:18.599
something that bothers you, we do have a product that's
378
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:21.759
more suitable where there's no feedback at all. Well, I
379
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.240
shouldn't say that. There's what we call remote commands. So
380
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.640
where the satellite caller GO is a bit different is
381
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:31.000
you can set a virtual boundary and then it's not
382
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:33.599
a fence in the sense that it doesn't keep your
383
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.839
dog within it, because the virtual fence is enforced by training.
384
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:39.960
But with the virtual boundary, you set up that limit
385
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:42.319
and then you get an alert to your cell phone
386
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.279
if your dog goes past it, and then you can
387
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:47.680
actually press a button in the app to play an
388
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:51.920
audio command like a whistle or a good dog or
389
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:55.680
a go home, which sensibly your dog goes past that boundary,
390
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:57.759
it would be go home, and then when they go back,
391
00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:58.799
you play the good dog.
392
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.200
Okay, So how would the pet parent get started with
393
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:04.920
the satellite AI caller.
394
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:07.559
Yeah, so with the satellite caller it depends which one
395
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:10.559
you go for, the satellite caller or the satellite caller GO,
396
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.039
but mostly it would be the same way you'd buy
397
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.000
the product, you'd receive it, you'd get it set up.
398
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.519
It works via GPS, which is supported by five global
399
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:25.759
navigation satellite systems, which includes the United States Global Positioning System,
400
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.119
which is what we usually call GPS. So you get
401
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.839
that and you'll have to register with the account. You'll
402
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:35.200
set up an account through the app, which you would
403
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:38.839
download from either the Google Play Store or the App
404
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:41.640
store on Apple. We have QR codes on our website
405
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:43.519
that you could also use to scan that to find
406
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:46.680
the appropriate page for satellite, and then you would just
407
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:50.759
go through the setup process. It would require a subscription
408
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.960
because it needs to be able to transmit data over
409
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:56.920
cell you a signal to be able to send and
410
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:00.759
receive at a distance. It can also connect via Bluetooth
411
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:04.000
for sinking, but that's not really ideal for tracking scenarios.
412
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:06.559
That would be more of just sinking up the health
413
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:09.000
metrics and so you get sorry with that. It would
414
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.359
just be you know, hardware app set up and then
415
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:14.759
you'd enter the information about your dog. So what's your
416
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:17.519
dog's name, You could cheer your dog's birthday, you could
417
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:21.319
say what the breed is. The LLM is primarily trained
418
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:24.559
off of our own breed database, which is basically to
419
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:26.839
give it a baseline, but after that, because the college
420
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:31.160
is actually recording your dog's metrics specifically, it would be
421
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.200
able to kind of learn that, and then actually as
422
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:36.480
part of the process too, you would take a picture
423
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:38.440
of your dog and then the AI would try to
424
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:40.920
identify your dog's breed, which you can correct if you
425
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:43.440
think the AI is not quite right, but it would
426
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:46.000
kind of automatically say, oh, your dog looks like it's
427
00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:49.359
this breed. Is that correct? And then you're pretty much
428
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:52.599
good to go from there. You've got the location tracking,
429
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:55.519
you can start setting up fences, you can start tracking
430
00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:00.240
activity and rest patterns, and then even start asking questions
431
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:00.839
from the AI.
432
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:04.759
Okay, thanks, What would you say? So the go caller
433
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:08.440
has a lot more features. What are you most proud
434
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:11.400
of in the satellite AI callers?
435
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.319
Yeah, so with the satellite callers just in general, I
436
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:16.720
think with all of our products, I'm just excited for
437
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:19.119
the ability that we're going to be able to get
438
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.279
pet parents to keep their dogs safe and know what's
439
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:24.599
going on with them. I mean, I had a lot
440
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:27.759
of different dogs growing up, and there's so many different
441
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:29.960
I mean, they bring so much love to you and
442
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.240
it's such a special relationship, but when you lose them
443
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.880
for whatever reasons, that's a very specific kind of heartbreak
444
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:39.640
when they run off and they don't come home. You know,
445
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:41.759
when they get sick and you didn't even know anything
446
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:43.680
was wrong, and then you know you have to take
447
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:46.000
them to the vet and you walk out without them.
448
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:50.240
That's harmful, that's heavy, and you miss them every single day.
449
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:52.960
And so what I think one of the big benefits
450
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:56.000
of the products that Satellite is doing is that it
451
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.079
can help you just have that time with your pet
452
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:02.160
and keep you together with your dog for as long
453
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:05.839
as possible. You get those early warnings, you find them
454
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:08.519
when they get lost, Like to me, are these are
455
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:11.519
the two biggest tragedies that I had with my dogs
456
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:14.400
as they either got sick or they ran off. And
457
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:17.279
if you're lucky, you get them back. And when you're
458
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:21.000
not lucky, then you just grieve them and remember.
459
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:24.559
Them well spoken. And most of us pet parents have
460
00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:28.519
been there and it's tragic. Whether it's something sudden or
461
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:31.920
it's something that's ongoing, it's just it's horrible.
462
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:35.559
And it's not even because you did anything wrong right right,
463
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:38.319
it's just because your dog's being a dog, and part
464
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:40.759
of being a dog is getting into things that you
465
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:42.079
wouldn't expect.
466
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.240
Yep, and they don't live as long as we would like,
467
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.400
so absolutely. Okay, So let's talk about another thing that
468
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:53.039
pet parents are concerned about. How does Satellite AI ensure
469
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:58.200
data accuracy, privacy and responsible use of the pet information?
470
00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:02.000
Because there does have to be some information input probably
471
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:05.519
I don't know, you know, it's satellite, probably addresses and
472
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:08.920
you know, something that are personal and some people, some
473
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:11.880
of the dog parents out there listening, might say, I
474
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:14.240
don't want to put all that personal information in Where
475
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:15.640
does it go? Is it secure?
476
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:18.519
Yeah, So that's a good question. I think data security
477
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:21.319
is a huge concern for a lot of people. So
478
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.240
for Europe, everything we do like complies with the GDPR.
479
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:28.880
For the US, we're also complying with Data safety and
480
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:33.640
storage was there and we're also working with AWS Amazon
481
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.359
Web Services, so everything's actually stored on their servers and
482
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.319
processed through them. So's it's protected by a company that
483
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:43.759
I think, like you know, people are already familiar with
484
00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:45.920
and that we already trust a lot of our data
485
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:49.440
to Already it's not necessarily going to satellite directly in
486
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:52.359
terms of like all the details what we sometimes are
487
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:55.039
able to collect via our privacy policies. Is just kind
488
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:58.519
of anonymized data of just dogs in general of how
489
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:01.599
much they're running, but it kind of breaks down by category.
490
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:05.759
It's not specific to any any individual from what I'm
491
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:06.240
aware of.
492
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:08.720
Okay, thanks, I will say this is.
493
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.359
A my area of expertise, so there could be some
494
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.480
details there. I'm not personally qualified to get into that
495
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:15.079
too deeply.
496
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:17.799
Got it. But the data is secure for the most part.
497
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:20.599
Yes, I would be confidence to say that the data
498
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:24.079
is secure and that personal information is pretty safe.
499
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:27.400
Okay, we talked about the basic collar than the go color.
500
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:29.400
What are some other products that you have.
501
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:32.599
I mean, we're still a pretty new brand, so really
502
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:35.519
the satellite callers are first entrigu into the market. And
503
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:37.920
that's the really like cutting edge one that just like
504
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:40.000
we packed every feature we could kind of think of
505
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:42.759
into it. The caller goes designed to be a bit
506
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:45.680
more accessible and then fit more more types of dogs.
507
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:48.079
One thing I do forget to mention because I think
508
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:51.160
it's a huge well it's not the hugest feature, but
509
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.960
I think it's helpful. It's like we actually put reflective
510
00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:57.880
lining and reflective stitching onto the products to make your
511
00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:01.519
dog more visible in low light environs, so it helps
512
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:03.640
keep your dog safe in those regards too.
513
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.000
Okay, and you know I asked this earlier, but I
514
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:09.400
asked it with another question, so I don't know if
515
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:13.000
it was answered. Sorry about that. What sized dog does
516
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:15.920
the collar fit? Because you mentioned one is for like
517
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.400
a larger dog. How small can you go?
518
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:21.480
That's a great question. So for the original satellite collar,
519
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:23.599
I think right now the smallest we get is about
520
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:27.480
fourteen inches. If you use the hook and loop strap,
521
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:31.200
the valcro style strap, then it can go about fourteen inches.
522
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:34.119
But we actually have a fdlock magnetic clasp on it
523
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:36.400
that's a lot more convenient for that when it goes
524
00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:39.599
down to seventeen inches. And that's for the original.
525
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:42.799
Collar, So fourteen inches I think that's what like about
526
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.160
forty pounds generally.
527
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:49.240
Generally, I would say so those certain smaller breeds would
528
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:52.720
maybe have a thick enough neck for it. Okay, for
529
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:55.880
the satellite collar, go, well, one the device can kind
530
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:59.599
of clip onto almost any dog collar, but the one
531
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:01.720
that we include the band, I think that one goes
532
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:03.480
to about thirteen and a half inches.
533
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:06.480
Okay, and how large, Yeah, I.
534
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:10.920
Believe for the collar it's thirty two inches is the maximum.
535
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:13.680
Quite big, okay, or a thick neck with your bulldogs,
536
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:18.480
but basically so your collar bits most dog sizes and
537
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:22.359
for the little tiny dogs, they're like you know, pocket dogs,
538
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:25.160
they don't really run out. But would you at some
539
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:29.079
point do you see Satellite AI making a smaller collar
540
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:32.640
for those little, small but frisky dogs like your Jack Russell.
541
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:36.079
Yes, I do think we would be very interested in
542
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:39.240
expanding into smaller dogs. Part of it is just because
543
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:41.480
we have so many features packed into it that you know,
544
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:44.200
when you're putting so much tech into one device, that
545
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.480
device kind of winds up being large. So that's why
546
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:49.759
it's a bit more suited for big dogs. But yes,
547
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:53.519
I mean, we really want to have an overarching coverage
548
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:57.079
system for every kind of pet that people get, you know,
549
00:28:57.240 --> 00:28:59.759
big dogs, medium dogs, small dogs. And then in a
550
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:02.400
few we'd like to expand into cats as well, to
551
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.240
be able to keep them safe and protected.
552
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:08.880
Yeah, that would be good because they are devious creatures.
553
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:12.880
Well, they're also not always the most communicative when something's wrong.
554
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:16.400
My other show is Catitudes, so we talk about that
555
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:21.599
they're stoic creatures and that's just an ongoing concern for
556
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:25.720
cat pet parents because they hide their illness as well.
557
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:28.759
I mean I've experienced it with my cats where one
558
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:31.079
was near debt. They want one hospital wanted to put
559
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:33.640
them down. I was like no, and took them to
560
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.519
another hospital the next day. And that was what I
561
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:41.319
think fourteen years ago. So he's fine, but they don't
562
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:43.920
tell you and there's a problem. So this for cats
563
00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:45.480
would be fantastic.
564
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:48.880
Yeah, I mean for dogs it's already quite difficult because
565
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:50.960
you know, sometimes they don't want to trouble the pack,
566
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:55.599
so they'll kind of run and hide the suffer and isolation.
567
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:57.920
But cats are even worse.
568
00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:01.160
Yeah, they're hard, they're not little dogs, as we say,
569
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:04.480
and they're definitely challenging. Our dog parents that are listening,
570
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:07.400
or pet parents in general that are listening, could take
571
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.519
away just one benefit from using satellite AI, what would
572
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:12.319
you want that to be?
573
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:15.640
I would say that the overarching thing now and in
574
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.960
the future is going to be just the insights that
575
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:22.359
you can get into keeping your dog healthy and active.
576
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:27.319
Okay, thank you, David. Where can people find more information
577
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:30.640
on satellite AI and purchase the caller?
578
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:33.319
Oh that's a wonderful question. So I'd say the best
579
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.279
place to go would be our website, satellite dot com.
580
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.599
That's s A T E l l AI dot com,
581
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.319

This is pet Life Radio. Let's talk pets.
2
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.679
Hello pet levers, Welcome to Best Bets for Pets. I'm
3
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.480
your show host, Michelle Bern. You know, we've come a
4
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.320
long way as far as you know what we use
5
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.119
on our pets, and one of the biggest things, of
6
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.880
course with our dogs is making sure they're secure. And
7
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.159
one of the new things out is AI. We're recording
8
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.920
this end of twenty twenty five. It'll be aired twenty
9
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.920
twenty six. And everybody's interested in AI, which is not
10
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:51.840
brand new but still kind of new. What about combining
11
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.039
AI and using it for your dog? While my guest
12
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.520
today has a product that does that, and we'll be
13
00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.119
right back to talk about it.
14
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:05.079
Take a bite out of your competition, advertise your business
15
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.359

17
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.480
large and reaches more pet parents and pet lovers than

Let's talk pets on petlifradio dot com.
26
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.200
Welcome back everyone. I'd like to welcome David Teaster, the
27
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:05.879
product marketing director at Satellite. It is a new product.
28
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:10.000
It's the world's first pet centric AI and E caller.
29
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.599
Welcome David, Thanks so much for having me.
30
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.800
Thrilled to have you on this show. What does AI
31
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.919
and E stand for? We know AI, but what is
32
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:19.639
the E part?
33
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.919
Yeah, so that's a wonderful question. So obviously AI, as
34
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:26.120
you said, we all know it artificial intelligence. The E
35
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.280
is more about electronic and it's just to say that
36
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.520
this is a hardware product that also works with AI.
37
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.919
So the AI is kind of more software related, whereas
38
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.719
the hardware. The E caller is an electronic device that
39
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.520
helps track your dog's different metrics so that the AI
40
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:45.120
has more data to work off of.
41
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:50.560
Okay, and what does the pet centric AI mean? And
42
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.360
how is this different from traditional pet tech?
43
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.840
So the reason we say pet centric, well, I should
44
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:58.879
think about which of those two questions to start with.
45
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.719
Maybe we can start with how it's different from traditional
46
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.919
pet tech. I would say with traditional pet tech, you're
47
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:09.319
looking more at things that do more simple kind of functions,
48
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:14.319
and while that's been expanding in recent years similar products
49
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.879
like ours, I think adding more AI functions into it
50
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.280
takes it to the next level. So what differentiates it
51
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.159
more is with traditional pet tech, you had devices that
52
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.960
just kind of help you interact with your pet, whereas
53
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.199
with Satellite we're looking to combine everything into one spot
54
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.400
where you have hardware and software working together, because really
55
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.840
we want to make sure that every pet is connected, protected,
56
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.960
cared for, and safe. And so that's something that we're
57
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.400
building towards with all the different products that we're releasing.
58
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.960
And as you said, we've got a new product already.
59
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:51.159
Our first product launched back in April of this year,
60
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.840
the Satellite Caller, which provides a lot of different functions
61
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:59.319
for people, including virtual fencing also known as geo fencing
62
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:04.080
or GPS fencing, which is training based boundaries that you
63
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.159
set up via the app, and then it gives feedback
64
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.120
to your dog through the collar through a vibration, a
65
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.840
whistle or something to help keep your dog in those
66
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.240
safe limits. But at the same time, we have sensors
67
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.480
inside that track when your dog's moving and when your
68
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.959
dog's resting to start giving you those insights into your
69
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.079
dog's behavior and activity patterns. Similar to the way that smart
70
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:31.160
wearables work for people, we can actually log these different
71
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.439
changes over time and then you get this pattern based.
72
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:38.160
What we're looking to do in twenty twenty six, especially
73
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.639
because we're looking to expand out our AI functions, is
74
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.560
that it will actually one have more specific algorithmic breakdowns
75
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.399
to what type of activity your pet is undergoing. So
76
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.319
right now our products are specific to dogs, so it
77
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.199
should be able to break down how much your dog
78
00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:01.879
is walking versus running, versus jumping, versus resting versus you know,
79
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.839
licking or even shaking its head. And so that's one
80
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.480
aspect of what we're looking at with the AI. On
81
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.360
top of that, we hope to be able to give
82
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.199
reports that reference all this different data to help give
83
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.600
you kind of a brief overview into what's going on
84
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.240
with your dog. And then on top of that too,
85
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.879
we actually have an LLN inside our application that you
86
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.079
can ask it questions and it will be able to
87
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.839
refer to this data that it's collected as well as
88
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.800
the information that you've given it when you registered in
89
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.000
the app and start giving you better insights into your
90
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:36.680
pets overall well being.
91
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.439
It's amazing what technology can do. That sounds amazing. So
92
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.000
a couple of comments, So it sounds like in a
93
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.439
sense the collar is what is I don't know. I
94
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.000
think it's quarm that the ring that people wear. I
95
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.920
don't wear one, but there's a ring that senses your
96
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.600
you know, people's sleep and health and all of that.
97
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.240
It sounds like the data is similar to that, but
98
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.480
for your dog. Is that compare?
99
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.439
Yeah, I think that's a good way to kind of
100
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.759
compare it. Because actually our founders their background was in
101
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.199
smart wearables for people. They were working for a maze fit,
102
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.120
which is one of the big smart wearable companies, and
103
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.959
they wanted to bring these same kind of information and
104
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.439
insights to the pet space because I can track my
105
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:20.680
own health and see these patterns and see what's going
106
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.839
on and I know what it means like this changes.
107
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.480
But with your dog there's an extra step because your
108
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:29.399
dog can't give you the context of what was going
109
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.639
on or communicate what it encountered through what your dog
110
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.240
encountered throughout the day. So I think the AI gives
111
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.439
us this extra bit of context and this pattern recognition
112
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.839
that really helps us know what's going on with our
113
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.879
dogs and helps us see immediately when they're not feeling
114
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:46.879
their best.
115
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.240
Okay, so let's break it down for people that are
116
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.879
don't understand tech or little late getting onto AI. So
117
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:58.360
the electronic part would be any vibrations or sounds to
118
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:00.600
kind of alert your dog right.
119
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.720
In the past, Yeah, that has been I'd say in
120
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.399
our case, it's more just related to the fact that
121
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:08.920
it has the sensors and it can kind of record
122
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:13.160
all this data. We have different products coming out in Europe.
123
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.079
We already launched the Satellite Caller Go, which is a
124
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.839
smaller version that doesn't have quite all the virtual fencing functions,
125
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.319
but it's much smaller and it can fit dogs of
126
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.279
more sizes, but it does still have the sensors inside
127
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.839
of it to help you see what's going on with
128
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.519
your dog, what kind of activity they have. A lot
129
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.759
of times, what's going on is these are also GPS
130
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.680
tracking devices, so you can actually keep track of where
131
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.399
your dog is. So I'd say, if we wanted to
132
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.439
put it kind of simply, what's going on here is
133
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.399
with the caller go, you know where your dog is,
134
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:51.319
what your dog is doing, and ostensibly, with AI, how
135
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:52.319
your dog is feeling.
136
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.879
Do you think this is a little different, but listening
137
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.279
to this information, do you think at some point when
138
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.600
ugs are chipped, they will, you know, have AI and
139
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.120
the chips so that if your dog is lost, you
140
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.439
could actually look at the chip information and find where
141
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:08.800
they are.
142
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.439
I think that's something that would be definitely ideal for
143
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.040
a lot of people right now. I think the limitation
144
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.680
is kind of how you power a device like that
145
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.920
once it's subdermal, because it's so small. But you know,
146
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.160
there's all different ways that you might be able to
147
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.600
make that happen, and it would be people much smarter
148
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.120
than me figuring out how to make that work. But
149
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.519
I think right now we're mostly looking at tracking colleagues
150
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.360
because these are warn't externally and then they can be recharged,
151
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:37.440
whereas something subdermal, I think would have the challenge of
152
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:40.559
keeping it powered so that it can transmit a signal
153
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.360
at all times, and then how do you recharge it
154
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.320
if the battery runs out right?
155
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.799
Exactly exactly? Okay, So let's talk about how the ecolor
156
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.919
and AI work together. So the data that's collected are
157
00:08:55.039 --> 00:09:00.559
you know, posture, movement, vocalization, breathing, sleep, activity levels. How
158
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.840
does the AI turn this data into useful insights for
159
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:05.879
dog pet parents.
160
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.519
Yeah, that's a wonderful question. And I would say where
161
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.720
machine learning in general, but especially with the advent of LLMS,
162
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.600
where this type of technology really excels in my mind,
163
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:22.919
is really just like iterating through repetitive information, detecting patterns
164
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:27.240
and then highlighting changes in those patterns. So with LLMS
165
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.799
that becomes like very conversational thing, and then you can
166
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:34.559
ask it questions that can actually respond, whereas with the
167
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.360
data iteration, it can actually process things very very quickly
168
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.799
and be able to figure out when something's different. Well, asa,
169
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.960
I figure it out. But identify would be a better
170
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.799
way to phrase that. It's able to identify when there's
171
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.639
a sudden change. Now we can already do that with
172
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.600
ourselves with our own smart wearables, and if you use
173
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.039
a traditional activity tracker, you can do that yourself too,
174
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.159
and swipe through the screens and just see, Okay, here's
175
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.120
how much activity they had last week. Here's the bar graph.
176
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.519
For how much activity they had this week, here's the
177
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.240
bar graph for this week, Oh why did it suddenly dip?
178
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.320
But where I think AI is very helpful is it
179
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.600
can kind of start granulating that data and actually identifying
180
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:17.360
these things even better and actually giving you a comprehensive report,
181
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.320
so you don't have to swipe through that data all
182
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.320
by yourself and try to figure out what the patterns are.
183
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.639
It can actually highlight where the changes have happened. And
184
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:27.720
part of what we're looking to do with our future
185
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.679
version of the pet Sence AI, which we're getting ready
186
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.120
to update, is that it will actually give a report
187
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.120
and a health score that lets you know and just
188
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.279
kind of gives you a week by week update of
189
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:43.200
what's going on with your pet and what's changed compared
190
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.519
to last week. And then when you see that, you
191
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.279
know that maybe there's something going on, and you can
192
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.840
get some advice on what could be some causes. And
193
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.120
if you think it's serious enough or even potentially serious enough,
194
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.679
then that's when you start looping in your veterinarian.
195
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:02.159
Okay, So I can see mostly positive little bit of
196
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:07.200
uh ohs that might happen if the you know, you know,
197
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.399
they say doctor Google right, So absolutely, and I have
198
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.039
talked to a lot of veterinarians, and most of them
199
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.600
love this information. I mean you could look at the data.
200
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:21.519
I mean if the data is just a sign, it
201
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:24.720
just gives you information and it's a way, like you said,
202
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.639
to see patterns and so forth. I mean there could
203
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.799
be a dip which could be something, or there could
204
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.399
be nothing, and people might think, well, I don't need
205
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.759
to do my annual that appointment because everything's going as is.
206
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.519
So where do you see the challenges for people understanding
207
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.440
the information well enough to realize it's not a substitute
208
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:47.279
for you know, seeing your veb.
209
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.720
Yeah, I think that is always a concern, and you're absolutely,
210
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.600
in my mind, one hundred percent correct to highlight that
211
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:57.159
because to my mind, where it's helpful is for getting
212
00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.360
that early care. When you identify these problems early, then
213
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.120
you're not doing that that visit in the middle of
214
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:06.200
the night that costs you one to two thousand dollars
215
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:09.519
to do a surgery because your dog's been feeling bad
216
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:11.759
for four days but you didn't realize that they had
217
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:15.240
swallowed something while you weren't watching them, you know, like
218
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:17.200
as a random example.
219
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.360
No, that's happened, It's happened to me and dog get
220
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.639
into stuff that's that's messy where they shouldn't, and it's
221
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:27.200
easy for them to follow something and not realizing. I
222
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.360
had one friend who had a store and she didn't
223
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:34.080
realize her dog had swallowed some some ribbon until she
224
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.440
saw it coming out of his tail.
225
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.679
Yeah, if you're lucky, it's a mundane thing and you're
226
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.000
just like, oh, when did they get into the string?
227
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.799
I'm just seeing that in there when they went to
228
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.200
the bathroom, and you know it passes through, but you know,
229
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:49.080
those things could get impacted. And while the activity data
230
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.159
that we have now wouldn't necessarily tell you your dog
231
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:54.679
swallowed something, no, get help, it would identify that the
232
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:59.200
behavior patterns shifted and your dog maybe isn't feeling very
233
00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.799
well because your dog's not doing the things they normally
234
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:04.799
do at this time of day. Like I see it
235
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.799
more as an early warning system, and then with the
236
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.799
AI we're looking to actually have it also give alerts
237
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.960
when there's sudden changes in behavior, especially sudden extreme changes
238
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.399
in behavior, to help you get that taken care of
239
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.320
early before it becomes a more significant problem.
240
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.799
Okay, so what would a real world example look like
241
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:28.000
in your system? So say you know, I was didn't
242
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:32.480
notice and my I don't know my dog cracked as
243
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.639
tooth or so this is another thing that happened to me,
244
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:38.840
cracked a tooth. Would there be any notification? Would I
245
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:42.600
notice that on the AI device or is there maybe
246
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:43.600
I have a better example.
247
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:47.440
So yeah, that's a really great example actually, because I
248
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:49.600
think it comes back to what does your dog do
249
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.120
when they've cracked their tooth? Well, a lot of times
250
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:53.840
your dog's not going to be eating the way they
251
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:56.480
normally do. And while our current product line may not
252
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.360
necessarily identify that, what it would notice is like the
253
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.159
change in activity levels or the change in energy, the
254
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:06.279
fact that your dog is resting more than before, or
255
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.960
your dog's making different sounds than normal, you know, possibly
256
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.360
detecting barking or whimpering. I think we're also looking at
257
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:17.200
like headshakes and licking as examples. So these changes in behavior,
258
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.000
if it suddenly has a huge uptick, it would actually
259
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:23.519
give you an alert to let you know, hey, something's
260
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:27.519
different than before. Maybe you should look into this. And
261
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.879
if you ask it in the app, you could ask
262
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.399
it what are some potential causes, and it would be
263
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.000
able to give some suggestions on things to look at,
264
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.480
and you could possibly give just kind of a quick
265
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.840
exam yourself just to see, like where does the problem
266
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.440
seem to be originating. And from there, I think you've
267
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:45.960
got a lot more options and you'd be able to
268
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.000
identify that. I think I would hope at a much
269
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:52.279
earlier stage than if you're just waiting for why isn't
270
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.159
my dog getting up and running around like normal? He
271
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:59.320
seems really sluggish today, But actually he's been sluggish for
272
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:03.360
several days. You just it just wasn't noticeable until day
273
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:04.159
four or five.
274
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.320
Understood, Okay, we're gonna take a quick break and we'll
275
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:12.279
be right back. Real people, real stories.
276
00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:15.639
Our little dog developed this lymph problem at the chemotherapy
277
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:19.360
lasted for six months, started developing more lymph nose, so
278
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.720
I thought I'd just try carnivor. If the lymph nose
279
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:23.759
started to go down, then I took him into the
280
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:25.960
vet to him checked out and there was no signs
281
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:26.679
at all. Inside.
282
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.080
My cad had issues that developed in his height, and
283
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:31.679
three months later my ven airing said this, go ahead
284
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.440
and remove the eye. I heard the carnivore on advertising,
285
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:36.279
so I said, you know what, I'm going to order
286
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.799
this product. They did the procedure, they did all the
287
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:40.639
death and they said, I don't know what you did
288
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:41.840
this product.
289
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:43.240
They his eye.
290
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:44.559
I've got a labrador.
291
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.279
You could hardly lift yourself up off the door. The
292
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:48.759
treatment list came to therapy.
293
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:50.399
That's when I said this could.
294
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:50.879
Be the ticket.
295
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.919
About three weeks you could tell she was very alert.
296
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.360
She was going to buy my lock and she is
297
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:57.879
just like crime again.
298
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:01.440
Well eight six six eight three, it's eight seven three five.
299
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.840

307
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:39.440
Welcome back everyone. We're talking to David Teaster. He is
308
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:43.799
the product marketing director at Satellite AI and we're talking
309
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:47.799
about their new collar. So let's talk about first safety
310
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.039
because you know, we always want to make sure our
311
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:53.240
dogs are safe. Is the caller safe? I know there's
312
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.159
some you know, vibrations that the dog can feel and
313
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.720
so forth, but is it absolutely safe and also is
314
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.279
it for all dogs all sizes.
315
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.920
So wonderful questions on both those sides, I think it.
316
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.240
I mean, anytime you've gone an electronic device, you know
317
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.319
there's a battery, then there's always room for something unexpected.
318
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:15.559
But everything we have is CE certified, so it meets
319
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.960
standard safety measures on that regard, so there's no necessarily
320
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.400
more concern about that than you know, any other electronic
321
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.480
device to my mind. Also, when we're looking at it,
322
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.559
you know, we've designed it with the materials to make
323
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.319
sure that everything's kind of too safe and non toxic.
324
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:34.880
So even if your dog like decides to somehow get
325
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:36.799
at it and use the collar as a chew toy,
326
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.119
it's pretty well insulated and it shouldn't cause any problems
327
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.720
on that side, even if they swallowed, say a small
328
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.720
piece of it. You know, obviously that's not ideal, but
329
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.440
it shouldn't have any toxicity to it either, though if
330
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:51.279
that did happen, just for the record, make sure to
331
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.079
get that check out and don't let your dog get
332
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:55.880
at it anymore because it's an electronic device. But on
333
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:58.519
the other side too, it seems like you're also asking
334
00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:02.640
specifically about the feedback functions. Yes, so yeah, so we've
335
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.319
got the whistle, we've got the vibration, and then optionally
336
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:09.279
for dogs but like a really strong prey drive, we
337
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:12.480
have what we call static correction. This is only for
338
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:17.279
the original satellite collar, and I'll address first. The original
339
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.680
satellite caller is for big dogs because it's it's rather hefty,
340
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.119
it's got two satellite transmitters in there, it's got the
341
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.160
vibration motor and all these different things. So it does
342
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:30.319
have an optional static correction. But I hate to mislead
343
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:32.880
people because some people would hear that and say it's
344
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.799
a shock collar, but it's to my mind, it's really not,
345
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:39.359
because it's more of just kind of a physical stimulus,
346
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:42.839
Like I've physically tried this on myself, and the idea
347
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:45.400
behind it is just to kind of create a strong
348
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.359
sensation to get your dog's attention if they're chasing something.
349
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.799
And really it's completely optional because you don't have to
350
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:55.720
install the contact points for that just for the record,
351
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.359
like you can leave those off and then it wouldn't
352
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:00.839
be able to do anything regardless of what you said
353
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.200
it to. It wouldn't be able to activate accidentally or
354
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:06.720
anything like that, which it can't do anyway, but that
355
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:10.680
would one hundred percent remove even the smallest chance. So
356
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.920
that's there. But it's more from the side of giving
357
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:17.720
pet parents every tool we think they might need to
358
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:20.519
keep their pets safe. And so I know, like there's
359
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:22.880
a lot of different types of trainers that look at
360
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:27.599
positive reinforcement versus negative and it's not really our goal
361
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:29.720
to weigh in on that, but to give people the
362
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:31.680
tool that they need to train their dog and keep
363
00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:33.480
their dog in safe limits.
364
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.720
Got it. So for your Houdini dogs that are you know,
365
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.799
constantly you know, escaping your yard or what have you.
366
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:46.400
Even if you are living in rural areas, it's still
367
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:49.160
a good tool. I mean, you think, and let me backcheck.
368
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.400
I had a Houdini dog, but it was in the city.
369
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.400
So in my mind it's a lot better too. You know, Okay,
370
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.039
your dog's go and I feel a little sensation rather
371
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:02.319
than the very unfortunate alternative that your dog might be
372
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:03.960
hit by a car exactly.
373
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:06.119
And that's kind of where I stand on it too.
374
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:09.640
Is again, we're giving options. We're not dictating what you
375
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:13.200
do or don't do. The satellite caller go, it doesn't
376
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:16.559
really even have the fencing function. So if that is
377
00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:18.599
something that bothers you, we do have a product that's
378
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:21.759
more suitable where there's no feedback at all. Well, I
379
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.240
shouldn't say that. There's what we call remote commands. So
380
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.640
where the satellite caller GO is a bit different is
381
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:31.000
you can set a virtual boundary and then it's not
382
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:33.599
a fence in the sense that it doesn't keep your
383
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.839
dog within it, because the virtual fence is enforced by training.
384
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:39.960
But with the virtual boundary, you set up that limit
385
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:42.319
and then you get an alert to your cell phone
386
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.279
if your dog goes past it, and then you can
387
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:47.680
actually press a button in the app to play an
388
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:51.920
audio command like a whistle or a good dog or
389
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:55.680
a go home, which sensibly your dog goes past that boundary,
390
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:57.759
it would be go home, and then when they go back,
391
00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:58.799
you play the good dog.
392
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.200
Okay, So how would the pet parent get started with
393
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:04.920
the satellite AI caller.
394
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:07.559
Yeah, so with the satellite caller it depends which one
395
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:10.559
you go for, the satellite caller or the satellite caller GO,
396
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.039
but mostly it would be the same way you'd buy
397
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.000
the product, you'd receive it, you'd get it set up.
398
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.519
It works via GPS, which is supported by five global
399
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:25.759
navigation satellite systems, which includes the United States Global Positioning System,
400
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.119
which is what we usually call GPS. So you get
401
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.839
that and you'll have to register with the account. You'll
402
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:35.200
set up an account through the app, which you would
403
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:38.839
download from either the Google Play Store or the App
404
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:41.640
store on Apple. We have QR codes on our website
405
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:43.519
that you could also use to scan that to find
406
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:46.680
the appropriate page for satellite, and then you would just
407
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:50.759
go through the setup process. It would require a subscription
408
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.960
because it needs to be able to transmit data over
409
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:56.920
cell you a signal to be able to send and
410
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:00.759
receive at a distance. It can also connect via Bluetooth
411
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:04.000
for sinking, but that's not really ideal for tracking scenarios.
412
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:06.559
That would be more of just sinking up the health
413
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:09.000
metrics and so you get sorry with that. It would
414
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.359
just be you know, hardware app set up and then
415
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:14.759
you'd enter the information about your dog. So what's your
416
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:17.519
dog's name, You could cheer your dog's birthday, you could
417
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:21.319
say what the breed is. The LLM is primarily trained
418
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:24.559
off of our own breed database, which is basically to
419
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:26.839
give it a baseline, but after that, because the college
420
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:31.160
is actually recording your dog's metrics specifically, it would be
421
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.200
able to kind of learn that, and then actually as
422
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:36.480
part of the process too, you would take a picture
423
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:38.440
of your dog and then the AI would try to
424
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:40.920
identify your dog's breed, which you can correct if you
425
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:43.440
think the AI is not quite right, but it would
426
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:46.000
kind of automatically say, oh, your dog looks like it's
427
00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:49.359
this breed. Is that correct? And then you're pretty much
428
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:52.599
good to go from there. You've got the location tracking,
429
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:55.519
you can start setting up fences, you can start tracking
430
00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:00.240
activity and rest patterns, and then even start asking questions
431
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:00.839
from the AI.
432
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:04.759
Okay, thanks, What would you say? So the go caller
433
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:08.440
has a lot more features. What are you most proud
434
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:11.400
of in the satellite AI callers?
435
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.319
Yeah, so with the satellite callers just in general, I
436
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:16.720
think with all of our products, I'm just excited for
437
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:19.119
the ability that we're going to be able to get
438
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.279
pet parents to keep their dogs safe and know what's
439
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:24.599
going on with them. I mean, I had a lot
440
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:27.759
of different dogs growing up, and there's so many different
441
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:29.960
I mean, they bring so much love to you and
442
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.240
it's such a special relationship, but when you lose them
443
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.880
for whatever reasons, that's a very specific kind of heartbreak
444
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:39.640
when they run off and they don't come home. You know,
445
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:41.759
when they get sick and you didn't even know anything
446
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:43.680
was wrong, and then you know you have to take
447
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:46.000
them to the vet and you walk out without them.
448
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:50.240
That's harmful, that's heavy, and you miss them every single day.
449
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:52.960
And so what I think one of the big benefits
450
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:56.000
of the products that Satellite is doing is that it
451
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.079
can help you just have that time with your pet
452
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:02.160
and keep you together with your dog for as long
453
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:05.839
as possible. You get those early warnings, you find them
454
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:08.519
when they get lost, Like to me, are these are
455
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:11.519
the two biggest tragedies that I had with my dogs
456
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:14.400
as they either got sick or they ran off. And
457
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:17.279
if you're lucky, you get them back. And when you're
458
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:21.000
not lucky, then you just grieve them and remember.
459
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:24.559
Them well spoken. And most of us pet parents have
460
00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:28.519
been there and it's tragic. Whether it's something sudden or
461
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:31.920
it's something that's ongoing, it's just it's horrible.
462
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:35.559
And it's not even because you did anything wrong right right,
463
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:38.319
it's just because your dog's being a dog, and part
464
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:40.759
of being a dog is getting into things that you
465
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:42.079
wouldn't expect.
466
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.240
Yep, and they don't live as long as we would like,
467
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.400
so absolutely. Okay, So let's talk about another thing that
468
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:53.039
pet parents are concerned about. How does Satellite AI ensure
469
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:58.200
data accuracy, privacy and responsible use of the pet information?
470
00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:02.000
Because there does have to be some information input probably
471
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:05.519
I don't know, you know, it's satellite, probably addresses and
472
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:08.920
you know, something that are personal and some people, some
473
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:11.880
of the dog parents out there listening, might say, I
474
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:14.240
don't want to put all that personal information in Where
475
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:15.640
does it go? Is it secure?
476
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:18.519
Yeah, So that's a good question. I think data security
477
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:21.319
is a huge concern for a lot of people. So
478
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.240
for Europe, everything we do like complies with the GDPR.
479
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:28.880
For the US, we're also complying with Data safety and
480
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:33.640
storage was there and we're also working with AWS Amazon
481
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.359
Web Services, so everything's actually stored on their servers and
482
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.319
processed through them. So's it's protected by a company that
483
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:43.759
I think, like you know, people are already familiar with
484
00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:45.920
and that we already trust a lot of our data
485
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:49.440
to Already it's not necessarily going to satellite directly in
486
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:52.359
terms of like all the details what we sometimes are
487
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:55.039
able to collect via our privacy policies. Is just kind
488
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:58.519
of anonymized data of just dogs in general of how
489
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:01.599
much they're running, but it kind of breaks down by category.
490
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:05.759
It's not specific to any any individual from what I'm
491
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:06.240
aware of.
492
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:08.720
Okay, thanks, I will say this is.
493
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.359
A my area of expertise, so there could be some
494
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.480
details there. I'm not personally qualified to get into that
495
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:15.079
too deeply.
496
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:17.799
Got it. But the data is secure for the most part.
497
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:20.599
Yes, I would be confidence to say that the data
498
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:24.079
is secure and that personal information is pretty safe.
499
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:27.400
Okay, we talked about the basic collar than the go color.
500
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:29.400
What are some other products that you have.
501
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:32.599
I mean, we're still a pretty new brand, so really
502
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:35.519
the satellite callers are first entrigu into the market. And
503
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:37.920
that's the really like cutting edge one that just like
504
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:40.000
we packed every feature we could kind of think of
505
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:42.759
into it. The caller goes designed to be a bit
506
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:45.680
more accessible and then fit more more types of dogs.
507
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:48.079
One thing I do forget to mention because I think
508
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:51.160
it's a huge well it's not the hugest feature, but
509
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.960
I think it's helpful. It's like we actually put reflective
510
00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:57.880
lining and reflective stitching onto the products to make your
511
00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:01.519
dog more visible in low light environs, so it helps
512
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:03.640
keep your dog safe in those regards too.
513
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.000
Okay, and you know I asked this earlier, but I
514
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:09.400
asked it with another question, so I don't know if
515
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:13.000
it was answered. Sorry about that. What sized dog does
516
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:15.920
the collar fit? Because you mentioned one is for like
517
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.400
a larger dog. How small can you go?
518
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:21.480
That's a great question. So for the original satellite collar,
519
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:23.599
I think right now the smallest we get is about
520
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:27.480
fourteen inches. If you use the hook and loop strap,
521
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:31.200
the valcro style strap, then it can go about fourteen inches.
522
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:34.119
But we actually have a fdlock magnetic clasp on it
523
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:36.400
that's a lot more convenient for that when it goes
524
00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:39.599
down to seventeen inches. And that's for the original.
525
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:42.799
Collar, So fourteen inches I think that's what like about
526
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.160
forty pounds generally.
527
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:49.240
Generally, I would say so those certain smaller breeds would
528
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:52.720
maybe have a thick enough neck for it. Okay, for
529
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:55.880
the satellite collar, go, well, one the device can kind
530
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:59.599
of clip onto almost any dog collar, but the one
531
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:01.720
that we include the band, I think that one goes
532
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:03.480
to about thirteen and a half inches.
533
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:06.480
Okay, and how large, Yeah, I.
534
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:10.920
Believe for the collar it's thirty two inches is the maximum.
535
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:13.680
Quite big, okay, or a thick neck with your bulldogs,
536
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:18.480
but basically so your collar bits most dog sizes and
537
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:22.359
for the little tiny dogs, they're like you know, pocket dogs,
538
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:25.160
they don't really run out. But would you at some
539
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:29.079
point do you see Satellite AI making a smaller collar
540
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:32.640
for those little, small but frisky dogs like your Jack Russell.
541
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:36.079
Yes, I do think we would be very interested in
542
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:39.240
expanding into smaller dogs. Part of it is just because
543
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:41.480
we have so many features packed into it that you know,
544
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:44.200
when you're putting so much tech into one device, that
545
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.480
device kind of winds up being large. So that's why
546
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:49.759
it's a bit more suited for big dogs. But yes,
547
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:53.519
I mean, we really want to have an overarching coverage
548
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:57.079
system for every kind of pet that people get, you know,
549
00:28:57.240 --> 00:28:59.759
big dogs, medium dogs, small dogs. And then in a
550
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:02.400
few we'd like to expand into cats as well, to
551
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.240
be able to keep them safe and protected.
552
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:08.880
Yeah, that would be good because they are devious creatures.
553
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:12.880
Well, they're also not always the most communicative when something's wrong.
554
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:16.400
My other show is Catitudes, so we talk about that
555
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:21.599
they're stoic creatures and that's just an ongoing concern for
556
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:25.720
cat pet parents because they hide their illness as well.
557
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:28.759
I mean I've experienced it with my cats where one
558
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:31.079
was near debt. They want one hospital wanted to put
559
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:33.640
them down. I was like no, and took them to
560
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.519
another hospital the next day. And that was what I
561
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:41.319
think fourteen years ago. So he's fine, but they don't
562
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:43.920
tell you and there's a problem. So this for cats
563
00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:45.480
would be fantastic.
564
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:48.880
Yeah, I mean for dogs it's already quite difficult because
565
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:50.960
you know, sometimes they don't want to trouble the pack,
566
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:55.599
so they'll kind of run and hide the suffer and isolation.
567
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:57.920
But cats are even worse.
568
00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:01.160
Yeah, they're hard, they're not little dogs, as we say,
569
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:04.480
and they're definitely challenging. Our dog parents that are listening,
570
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:07.400
or pet parents in general that are listening, could take
571
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.519
away just one benefit from using satellite AI, what would
572
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:12.319
you want that to be?
573
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:15.640
I would say that the overarching thing now and in
574
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.960
the future is going to be just the insights that
575
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:22.359
you can get into keeping your dog healthy and active.
576
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:27.319
Okay, thank you, David. Where can people find more information
577
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:30.640
on satellite AI and purchase the caller?
578
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:33.319
Oh that's a wonderful question. So I'd say the best
579
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.279
place to go would be our website, satellite dot com.
580
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.599

581
