Can FitBit please eventually sync with FitBark (fitness tracker for dogs)?

I just recently purchased a FitBark for my dog.  It's very similar to FitBit except it's for dogs!!  The app is amazing and the FitBark app allows us to sync our FitBits, however the FitBit app has yet to sync with the FitBark.  It would be so cool to be able to add our little 4 legged friends into FitBit challenges with their fellow human friends on the FitBit app.  Please let this become a dream come true!!

Ha ha, I think that's great. Cool idea! Think of all the dog lovers out there. This could really catch on.

FitBark is an activity tracker for pets. FitBark has an option to sync human fitbit trackers but not vice versa. It would be awesome for my friends and family members to be able to add my dog as a friend on their fitbi account. Perhaps normalizing the data by perspective goals. My cousins would love it.

It doesn't sound e your asking for fitbark to sync, they easily could do this through fit it's api. 

What your asking is for Fitbit also to track doggy steps in addition to people steps as seperate records

I agree! And FitBark if you click on the icon for how many more points you need, the app gives you (&/or your dog) several different types of ways (ex. Chase birds, play fetch, dog yoga) & durations of that activity, to reach your goal points. I love that hard!

super duper wish that Fitbit would, with one tap on my steps widget or challenge total, give me suggestions for what I could do differently (in that moment) to change my data! The solutions and options are all over and extensive. I wish it would just give me 2-3 suggestions. Maybe say, "What do you think you can do differently right now?", then give me some choices. 

 

Now, excuse me while i go get my doggies tennis ball 🐶🎾🏃‍:female_sign:🏆

I just got fitbark2 for my dog. I would love to link my activity with my dog's activity. How can I do this?

I would love to see some collaboration with the FitBark device in integrating through the app and challenges for those who want to bring their furry friends along.

I would love for the fitbark to be able to be tracked alongside our results in the fitbit app.  It would be so cool to compare how many calories etc are burned from the fitbit interface.  I love the fitbark app and recently bought the first fitbark for my girl,  she is yet to wear it but I have a puppy that likes to chew her collars off of my girl and would chew the fitbark if given the chance.  

What you guys have suggested is a really good idea,  and would love to see if the workers at fitbit can do this for us.  So is a vote from me!
