VetGuardian is based on patented Continuous Waveform (CW) Doppler RADAR technology from the University of Florida. The radio wave can bounce back from chest wall movements to detect breathing and penetrate soft tissue to detect pulsating heart rate.

Although VetGuardian was specially designed for dogs and cats, it works on most land animals. We have conducted research with 20+ species, including snow leopards, lizards, Komodo dragons, and giant tortoises. Veterinarians can customize alarm thresholds by species and breed.

You can run VetGuardian without Wi-Fi, but certain features, like Alexa integration and remote surveillance, do require it.

VetGuardian should be within 4-5 feet of the patient; however, the signal strength feature is the best method to track the quality of vital signs readings. Like a cell phone, high signal strength suggests high accuracy, and low signal strength suggests low accuracy.
