The Halo Pet Safety System
Heat stroke is a common problem for animals, especially in the summertime. Heat stroke occurs when the core temperature of an animal exceeds its normal set-point and reaches temperatures in excess of 106° F.
From these elevated temperatures, death may occur in less than an hour as a result of permanent
organ damage and blood clotting disorders. A high temperature occurs rapidly when the animal’s environment is enclosed and has poor ventilation, such as in a parked car with the windows closed or even cracked. The temperature inside a closed car in the direct sun may exceed 120°F in less than 20 minutes even when it is only 70°F outside. Humans differ from dogs and cats in their cooling mechanisms. People can rely on sweating to cool off, but dogs and cats must cool themselves through their lungs by panting. When the air gets too warm, the animal is no longer able to cool itself because the air is too hot for the lungs, and as a result its core temperature begins to rise.
The HALO Pet Safety System uses sensor technology to keep animals safe. It consists of three components: The first component is a dog collar that has a built in sensor that comes in a variety of sizes and designs.
The second component is a car transmitter that is easily installed into your vehicle. The third is the key pod that acts as the receiver. When your pet is wearing the HALO collar, and is in range of the car transmitter, the collar sensor will measure the temperature in the car. An alarm on your key pad will sound if the temperatures become dangerously hot. We have developed the tool that will give pet owners peace of mind and will avoid needless tragedy.
How it works...
-A pet collar with a built in sensor is placed on your pet.
-A transmitter is placed in your car. No installation required. The unit easily mounts to any flat surface.
-A key pod is placed on your key ring.
-When your pet is in the auto, proximity of the sensor to the transmitter activates the system, and begins monitoring the auto temperature.
-If the temperature in your vehicle reaches a potentially unsafe level for your pet, an alarm will sound on your key pod receiver, even if you are away from the vehicle.
-You will have peace of mind, knowing that your pet will not be in danger.
