Company Summary

Tether is the preventative health intelligence platform for dogs. Our flagship wearable, the Ruff, identifies pain (the earliest signal of disease and the driver behind most vet visits), contextualizes it against the dog's baseline, and tells pet parents what to do, up to 11 days before symptoms. Distribution starts at adoption through Day 1, our rescue marketplace, building a longitudinal data moat from the dog's first day home.
