Understanding your pet’s health data
Wellness
After your Whistle has collected a week’s worth of data, you can better understand your dog’s wellness.
Whistle’s Wellness Score gives you a data-based assessment of your dog’s energy level and insight into their overall well-being. A high score means your pup is getting enough exercise, sleeping well, and not showing signs of skin and coat issues. A low score means they’re feeling low energy and may be experiencing a health problem. Watch out for unexpected changes in energy, sleep, or skin health.

Scratching
Scratching is the number one reason pet parents bring their dogs to the vet. While the occasional itch is normal, increased scratching is one of the strongest indicators of allergies or a skin infection. If left untreated, skin conditions can lead to issues like dermatitis, infection, and lower quality of life.

Licking
Licking happens for a long list of reasons: grooming, cleaning wounds, coping with stress, pure boredom, and more. Whatever the cause, their licking levels can offer insight into their physical and mental well-being.
Note: Your smart device only tracks when your dogs licks themselves (not other pups, people, or peanut butter).

Drinking
Drinking habits can change for many reasons, like shifts in temperature, activity levels, and dietary choices (like kibble vs. wet food). But health issues like kidney disease and diabetes can also cause your pup to drink more.
