Your tracker keeps a running picture of what your pet has been up to. Here's where to find it and how to read it.
The six stats
Your pet's activity stats cover:
- Activity
- Steps
- Distance
- Calories
- Sleep
- Barking — measured in times, described on its card as "Times barked"
Please note: Barking is shown only for pets whose species is set to Dog, and it has no daily goal to set.
Change the time range
Every stat can be viewed over four ranges:
- Today
- This week
- Past 7 days
- Past month
Open a stat in detail
Tap any stat to open its detail screen. Taking barking as the example, it's split into:
- Barking today — today's figure and which band it falls into
- Barking trends — how the last few days compare
- Avg. barks — the average across the range you've chosen
Each band also comes with a short explanation and a vet tip, so the number means something rather than just sitting there.
Why today's figures fill in gradually
The collar sends its counters in hourly buckets, flushing them at the top of each hour. That means today's steps and barks arrive in roughly hourly lumps rather than ticking up live. If a figure hasn't changed for a while, the next hourly report usually hasn't landed yet.
Tip: Compare Past 7 days rather than Today if you're trying to spot a pattern — a single day is easily skewed by one unusual walk or one noisy afternoon.
If barking shows zero
Barking is only counted while bark detection is switched on.
- Open your pet's profile → GPS tracker settings.
- Tap Barking alerts. If it reads Barking alerts are off, no barks are being counted.
Important: Activity stats describe trends, not health results. The Ask A Vet tracker is not a medical device — always seek advice from a vet if something concerns you.
