PettiChat develops AI-powered products designed to help pet owners better understand cats and dogs. Its flagship product is a physical translator that clips onto a pet’s collar or harness, detects barks and meows, and plays translations through the device. Paired with a companion app, PettiChat also provides pet status information, real-time location tracking, and a diary that records changes in pets’ sounds and feelings.

The company says its translation technology analyzes acoustic patterns, pitch, breed, and behavioral data, drawing on more than 1.5 million training samples. The app and device are intended to help owners interpret pets’ possible emotions and needs, with automatic sound detection and translation designed to respond quickly. PettiChat reports laboratory translation accuracy of 94.6% and says its research program includes 12 patents and papers and recognition of more than 50 emotions and semantic signals.

PettiChat also offers a worldwide pet-owner community, customer support, a one-year warranty, and a 15-day return policy. Its stated mission is to strengthen the bond between pets and their caregivers through technology.
