Introduction
Most of the nation’s dogs are overweight, and a majority of their owners are blind to this issue. According to the latest research of Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, Veterinarians assessed more than half of the dogs are overweight or obese. However, their owners do not aware their dogs are overweight. Dogs are less healthy, as the problem of overweight is often associated with chronic health problems like hypertension, heart disease and diabetes. However, dogs do not tell owners directly when they are suffering from common canine problems even tent to hide by nature. It may delay the treatment of the dog.
There is a need to provide a complete and holistic monitor for dogs. Smart dog collar which consists of many sensor elements which used to measures the vital signs of the dogs and synchronizes that data wirelessly with a Smartphone is a wearable technology for dogs. It provides a real insight into their activities and overall wellness also helps pet parent take better control of the dog’s weight and health proactively.

Many things that are used nowadays involve sound like alarm clocks, stoves, doorbells, and phones. Hearing dogs make not being able to hearing things a little bit easier by when there is a sound going off that the deaf person should acknowledge they will get their attention and lead them to the sound. This can not only make things easier on the person that is hard of hearing but can also save a life in certain circumstances like if someone is blowing a car horn at something that you do not see or if you are cooking and forget about it, the dog can alarm you that your meal is
There are a variety of public issues in the United States society today. Many people are facing some type of illness or disease, one we do not consider a major problem until just recently. Obesity is a disease/condition that many people in America are suffering from. Really obesity can be defined in many different ways; Mayo Clinic defines obesity as a “complex disorder involving an excessive amount of body fat” (Obesity, 2015). When a person is diagnosed having this disease/condition it can cause many health problems such as, diabetes, heart trouble, high and low blood pressure. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one-third (34.9% or 78.6 million) of U.S adults are obese. (“Adult Obesity Facts,” 2015).

Dogs help people to stay active and healthy. All dogs need to go on walks every day to go to the bathroom and to get their energy out. Their owners must come on walks also to make sure they don’t run away. This means that dog owners are more active and healthy by walking every single day with their dog. Dogs are not just wanted for walking, but for many other important reasons.
When owning a dog, studies show that more people that own dogs have less doctor visits and miss less days at work. It also motivates people to be more active in society and become social. People with a lot of energy tend to buy or adopt a dog. There are so many dogs that have just as important jobs as humans. Many people adopt dogs for their disabilities. Some common jobs for dogs include guide dogs, therapy dogs, war dogs, and search and rescue. A couple less common jobs are herding, acting dogs, hunting, sled, and dogs who are trained to detect seizures. Dogs can not only find bombs and weapons but also bedbugs said one book (Hare page 116)
In Dogs Make Us Human, by Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson, Grandin read a story found from American Veterinary Medical Association and she shared, “about a dog named Max who had trained himself to monitor his mistress’s blood sugar levels even while she was asleep. (Grandin, pg 154, pp 4)” This quote shows a dog named Max was capable enough to train himself and offer his instincts to the diabetic owner. If Max wasn’t there for his owner, she wouldn’t have been able to prevent her blood sugar levels getting low. This dog changed his owner’s way of living when she found she would be having low blood sugar levels. Every new pet or animal has adapted their whole life into their new owners living.
In wars thousands of years past, men have had more than just cannons and swords at their sides. Dogs have stayed by humans through the impossible, sacrificing themselves for their owners even in the most life-threatening circumstances. What could be more life-threatening than the frontlines of a war, or being on the trail of a dangerous criminal? Dogs have the incredible natural senses and an unshakable loyalty to humans that makes them a valuable asset to first responders.
Dog tags are given to recruits during the first few days of basic training. They are the initial attribute of initiation for

When your dog is copped up inside all day, they are not able to get the exercise that they need. Over time, a sedentary lifestyle can cause your dog to become overweight. Overweight dogs, just like overweight people, experience more healthy problems than those within a healthy weight range. Going on daily walks will help keep your dog active and will help keep your dog's weight under control.
Dr. Marla Lichtenberger, of the Milwaukee Emergency Center for Animals, announces that more than half of the pets in our country are overweight. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, over 90 percent of animal owners are unaware of their pet’s ideal weight. Dr. Lichtenberger urges owners to be more aware of their pet’s ideal weight.
There is no doubt that obesity in pets can be detrimental to their health and shorten their lifespan. Even though dog owners in developed countries have a basic knowledge of what is best for their dogs, obesity in pets is still an epidemic (Corbee, 2012 p. 904). There are many factors that contribute to this epidemic, some can be directly linked to the owner’s bad habits. Human’s bad habits can transfer to their dog such as weight gain as both dog and human tend to share the same lifestyle. For example, factors may be arbitrarily associated with owners not being fully educated on what is the “norm” for their dog’s breed, feeding proportions, types of food, exercise regiments, being neutered, and socioeconomic status of the owner (Degelin and Rock 2012, p. 40).
It is often said that a dog is a man’s best friend. In the last 14,000 years, dogs have accompanied man by helping him hunt, guard, and protect. In our modern world, dogs help us combat in war, search-and-rescue, guide the blind, deaf, discapacitated, rehabilitate patients in therapy, aid law enforcement, and are part of our family as beloved pets (Coren). Although canine superstars such as Lassie, Old Yeller, and Rin Tin Tin portray the perfect dog we all want in our lives, these ideals are far from the truth. Many first-time dog owners expect dogs to know behaviors such as how to walk on a leash, not bite, not destroy the house, and in addition to many others. In reality, dogs must be trained on what their handler wants them to do. It is
