The monitor tracks multiple data points and uses artificial intelligence to accurately track your cat’s (or cats’) weight, as well as the number of visits, waste type, visit duration and time of day. You can find this data within the Events tab and the Cats tab of the Petivity app. Petivity also tracks when the litter box is scooped, making it easy to know when the box needs to be cleaned.

When Petivity notices meaningful changes in weight or litter box behavior, it alerts you via the app. While Petivity is not intended to diagnose your cat, it is designed to learn your cat’s habits and alert you to changes that could be signs of a health condition requiring veterinary diagnosis. If you receive such an alert, contact your veterinarian.

No – the Smart Litter Box Monitor is a monitoring device that sits underneath your existing litter box, allowing it to fit seamlessly into almost any environment with minimal disruption to your cats. See if your litter box is compatible here.

The Petivity Smart Litter Box Monitor pairs with the Petivity app, which is available for Android 10 or higher, and iPhone running iOS14 or higher. Download the free iOS mobile app here. Download the free Android app here.

It is important to have one monitor for each litter box in the home. This will ensure the data and insights the system provides are as accurate and complete as possible. The data from all your monitors will appear in the Petivity app, so the system will track litter box activity no matter which box your cat uses. Petivity will even tell you which litter box your cat prefers in your emailed Insight Reports.

Yes, Petivity Smart Litter Box Monitor works with multiple cats, without the need for a special collar or chip. To differentiate between your cats, Petivity will need your help to train its AI (artificial intelligence). Through the first few weeks of use, you’ll be notified when a litter box event needs more information from you. After confirming at least eight events per cat, the frequency of these prompts will decrease. If your cats are close in weight, you may need to label more than eight events to help the monitor learn to distinguish between them.

Please note that the Petivity system’s performance has been validated in households that have no more than five cats. We cannot guarantee performance in households with more than five cats, and some aspects of the system, like the insight reports, will not be available. For more info on how Petivity works in multi-cat homes, read our guide on How Petivity Tracks Multiple Cats.

Your pet’s microbiome is home to trillions of microbes that influence most aspects of their health and well-being.

· Certain gut bacteria decrease as pets age

· Gut bacteria can influence behavior

· Decreased gut diversity can be associated with being overweight

Knowing what is going on in your pet’s gut gives you an inside look into their unique needs so you can be more proactive in their care, including making better nutritional choices to support their overall health.

Microbiome analysis is a sophisticated process, but Petivity kits make it very simple and easy. After you receive your analysis kit, you will be directed to register it and fill out a short questionnaire to create your pet’s profile.

Once you collect and submit your pet’s stool sample, the lab will analyze it using state-of-the art sequencing technology. Microbiologists and nutritionists will create a personalized report for your pet to provide you with information about their unique gut microbiome, plus tailored supplement and nutrition recommendations to promote a balanced microbiome.

 Your personalized report provides you with the following information: 

· Your pet’s microbiome profile and key measures, depending on the type of kit you purchased.  See next question for the different types of kits and what’s included.  

·Actionable information based on your pet’s microbiome profile to promote your pet’s health and well-being. 

·A tailored recommendation for one of our proprietary probiotic & prebiotic supplement blends.

·A list of food ingredients beneficial to your pet.

While both kits include an analysis of the Beneficial Bacteria important to immune and digestive health as well as a report featuring tailored nutrition and supplement recommendations, the Advanced kit feature a provides a more comprehensive panel of measures that includes these additions:

·Gut Integrity Report, which predicts the potential for certain bacteria to product Butyrate, an important short chain fatty acid that plays a key role in overall digestion and the health of the gut lining.

·Gut Diversity Report, which shows how many different species of bacteria are present and how evenly these species are spread across a sample. High microbial diversity is linked with digestive health.

·A detailed report delivered directly to your veterinarian.

·An optional weight control and feeding plan if weight is one of your goals.
