Maven Pet's Companion AI Flags Dog Health Shifts Early
New York – October 13, 2026 -- Maven Pet has launched Companion, an AI assistant inside its app that is available now to all subscribers for $167.92 a year, hardware included.
Owners already lean on chatbots for pet health
A Talker Research survey of 2,000 pet owners found that 43% use tools like ChatGPT for pet health information, about seven times a week. Six in ten (59% in the survey's headline figure) changed their pet's care as a result. Maven Pet points out that those tools have never met the dog and answer from the internet, not from the individual animal.
Companion reads up to 25 million data points a day
Companion draws on vitals, sleep, activity and behavior captured by Maven Pet's dog health sensor, up to 25 million data points a day. It also uses the dog's profile and anything the owner logs, and it judges all of it against that dog's own normal.
