WORCESTER, Mass. — October 9, 2026 — Boston Made Pets, the pet brand of Boston Made, Inc., today announced that Boston Made dog trackers are in development and coming soon, extending the brand from stories and guides into everyday tools that help owners keep dogs safe, healthy and close to home.
The announcement marks a new chapter for BostonMadePets.com, which has published guides, stories and resources for dog owners across the Boston Made network. The tracker program will focus on the questions owners ask most: Where is my dog right now? Is my dog getting enough exercise? And how fast can I bring a lost dog home?
What owners can expect
- Peace of mind on every walk. Location tracking designed for daily life in the city and the suburbs.
- Activity you can act on. Simple daily activity views that pair with feeding and health guidance on Boston Made Pets.
- Lost-dog readiness. Guidance on what to do in the first hour a dog goes missing, built into the Boston Made Pets library.
Specifications, pricing and availability will be announced when the trackers are ready to ship. Owners who want to be first in line can follow updates on BostonMadePets.com and in the Boston Made Reader.
Start with the basics: how much should your dog eat?
Activity and weight go hand in hand. Before tracking a single step, most owners can make the biggest difference at the food bowl. The calculator below uses the resting energy requirement (RER) formula — 70 × body weight in kilograms raised to the ¾ power — then applies a standard life-stage multiplier.
Dog Daily Calorie Calculator
How much should your dog eat? This uses the resting-energy formula veterinarians start from, adjusted for life stage and activity.
General education only, not veterinary advice. Ask your veterinarian for your dog’s exact needs, especially for puppies, seniors and dogs with health conditions.
Five habits that keep dogs safe and healthy
- Keep ID current. A collar tag with your phone number and an up-to-date microchip registration are still the fastest way home.
- Measure food. Use a measuring cup, not a scoop, and re-check portions when activity changes with the seasons.
- Weigh monthly. Small changes are easier to fix than big ones.
- Walk with purpose. Most adult dogs benefit from daily exercise matched to their breed, age and health.
- Have a lost-dog plan. Keep a recent photo on your phone and know your local shelter and animal-control numbers.
