New Wearable Device Aims To Help Senior Pets Hear, Feel And Reconnect With The World

(PRESS RELEASE) FAIRPORT, NY — For many pet owners, one of the hardest parts of watching a beloved dog or cat age is seeing them become less responsive to the world around them. Pawsitive Vibes is working to change that with the introduction of a new wearable sensory aid designed to help senior and disabled pets stay more connected to their environment and the people who love them.

Created by Elizabeth Cook, MA, FAAA, Pawsitive Vibes is a harness or collar concept that uses bone conduction technology to receive and communicate sound through the skin to a pet. The device is designed to help supplement sensory and auditory input, offering a new way to support pets experiencing age-related decline, hearing loss, vision loss or disability.

“Our mission is simple,” said Cook. “We want to help aging pets maintain a stronger connection to their surroundings and to their owners. When pets begin to lose hearing, vision or sensory awareness, they can become more isolated. Pawsitive Vibes was created to help bridge that gap.”

The device is intended to provide additional sensory input through a wearable format that feels familiar to pets. By integrating the technology into a harness or collar, Pawsitive Vibes offers a practical approach for pet parents looking for new ways to support comfort, engagement and quality of life as their pets age.

The need for senior pet care solutions continues to grow as dogs and cats live longer and pet owners seek products that go beyond traditional food, toys and basic health care. Pawsitive Vibes was developed with those families in mind: people who want to continue communicating, connecting and sharing meaningful moments with pets whose needs are changing.

Pawsitive Vibes believes the product represents a unique concept in the pet care market. The device is protected as of September 5, 2024.

“As pet owners, we know our animals are family,” Cook added. “This device is about preserving that bond. It is about helping pets feel present, included and connected, even as they face the challenges that come with aging or disability.”

Pawsitive Vibes is now seeking investment and strategic support to help bring this unique, potentially life-changing device to market. Funding will support continued product development, testing, manufacturing preparation, marketing, and commercialization efforts.

“Our goal is to get Pawsitive Vibes into the hands of the pet owners who need it most,” said Cook. “With the right investment partners, we believe this device has the potential to create a meaningful new category in senior and disabled pet care.”
