43% of pet owners use tools like ChatGPT for pet health advice, and 59% have changed their pet’s care because of it.Maven Pet launches Companion, an AI pet assistant built on 25 million data points per dog each day.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dog parents have quietly made AI part of pet care. A Talker Research survey of 2,000 pet owners found 43% use ChatGPT for pet health information about seven times a week, and six in ten changed their dog’s care as a result.

Those tools have never met the dog. They answer from the internet, not from the animal on the sofa.

Maven Pet launches Companion, an AI pet assistant inside the Maven Pet app. It reads vitals, sleep, activity, and behavior from the dog health sensor, up to 25 million data points a day, plus the dog’s profile and whatever the owner logs, always judged against that dog’s own normal.

The real difference is that Companion speaks first, often days before an owner notices anything. A respiratory rate creeping up in a senior dog. A diabetic dog drinking more than usual. No general AI can flag either, because none are watching.

Maven Pet has delivered over 125,000 proactive health insights to date, most commonly ear, skin, and allergy changes, then cardiac and respiratory shifts.

Everything an owner logs deepens that understanding, changing how Companion reads what comes next: a rise in water intake weeks after a new medication starts, or a vet visit recommended when respiratory rate climbs.

Guilherme Coelho, CEO and Co-founder of Maven Pet: “Being a pet parent is constant uncertainty. We can’t ask them, so we guess. Companion ends that. It watches continuously, alerts you the moment something shifts, and answers from your pet’s data, not the internet.”

Companion is available now to all subscribers. The annual subscription is $167.92, hardware included. More at maven.pet/dog-health-tracker.

About Maven Pet  Maven Pet is a clinically validated health monitoring system for dogs and cats, founded by Guilherme Coelho and built with veterinarians. The sensor attaches to any collar and tracks respiratory rate, heart rate, sleep, activity and behavior, building a personalized baseline for each pet. New York. maven.pet
