 In short, it records the dogs activity (time spent resting, walking, running, playing or pottering, though I am as yet unclear</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>RE: Dog activity trackers for nurses' canine obesity clinics</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/175550?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Dec 2019 13:54:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:ef800742-8c89-45e7-8510-d94f33b552f0</guid><dc:creator>Raffles</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I was given one of these when I worked for a certain insurance company. They were thinking of introducing them to their policyholders with the idea of cheaper premiums for clients who could prove their pet was well exercised = healthy lifestyle.
