Dr. Ragen is a pet behavior expert who has been working on the development of the Petivity Smart Litterbox Monitor system since the beginning. She specializes in using a holistic approach incorporating both behavioral and physiological measures to assess emotional states in pets.

She and her team have produced the most extensive documentation of cat elimination behaviors ever recorded. They are responsible for producing the data that feeds the development of Petivity’s algorithms and allows it to provide meaningful insights about litterbox behavior.

Dr. Ragen and her team continue to collect valuable data that will be used to develop additional models that will catch early indicators of health changes in cats.

“The Petivity Smart Litterbox Monitor is a great tool for proactive health. It tracks very subtle changes that even the most engaged pet owners may not notice and that could be an early sign of disease—and then empowers those owners to partner with their veterinarian to seek a diagnosis.”
