Even pets are getting in on the CES 2026 AI hype.
Satellai, a company focused on developing AI pet technology, launched Petsense AI at CES, a multimodal pet data model that converts raw pet biometrics into meaningful insights. The model will be rolled out for free to all Satellai devices, including the Satellai Collar Go, which also launched at CES.
The AI model
Petsense AI collects all the data from Satellai's pet wearables and creates a digital health profile for dogs, with cat support expected to follow in 2026. Then, it analyzes the data to gain insights into activity levels, sleep quality, temperature, and even early disease detection, according to the company.
Satellai added that the RAG-powered (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) knowledge engine enables users to ask questions about their pets using conversational prompts, such as "Is my pet acting normally for their age/breed?"

Petsense AI will roll out across the Satellai ecosystem over the next few weeks as a free update.
To reassure users about the security of their pet's information, the company stated that data is stored securely within AWS and in full compliance with the GDPR.
The collar
CES marks the US launch of the Satellai Collar Go, a smart dog GPS collar that boasts 15-day battery life, an IP68 waterproof rating, real-time location tracking, and support for the Petsense AI platform. The collar retails for $80 with a 15% launch discount.

There are competitors in the market, such as the Halo Collar or the Minitailz Health and GPS Tracker. However, both are priced higher: the Halo Collar is $599, and the Minitailz is $99, requiring an additional subscription. I have previously reviewed the Minitailz collar, and I enjoyed gaining deeper insights into my dog's behavior. I stopped using it because of the subscription cost.
