01The product
What is Kipkul?

Kipkul is a smart module that attaches to any existing collar via a silicone case. It monitors physiological and environmental signals continuously and communicates with a mobile app that turns raw data into clear health scores, trend analysis and actionable alerts. It's designed for the mass consumer market — no veterinary training needed.

What sensors does Kipkul include?

Eight sensors built in: body temperature for individual heat deviation, ambient temperature and humidity for heat-index calculation, an accelerometer/IMU for activity and rest pattern detection, respiratory rate (RPM) as a primary wellness signal, heart rate (BPM) as a physiological health indicator, GPS with LTE-M cellular for real-time location and geofencing, and a sound sensor for bark and vocalization monitoring.

Is it comfortable and safe for my dog?

The module is compact (approximately 3 × 6.5 cm), up to 50% smaller than most current trackers, fully waterproof for daily outdoor use, and attaches via a silicone sleeve compatible with most medium and large breed collars. An integrated LED light improves nighttime visibility. Target battery life is up to 10 days.

How long does the battery last?

Target battery life is up to 10 days of continuous monitoring per charge. We chose LTE-M cellular connectivity specifically because it consumes significantly less power than standard LTE while offering better indoor and urban penetration — critical for achieving the 10-day target without compromising continuous health monitoring.

02Compatibility & setup
Does Kipkul work with my dog's existing collar?

Kipkul attaches to any existing dog collar via a silicone sleeve. The sleeve is compatible with most medium and large breed collars and supports a personalization line of interchangeable cases. You don't need to buy a special Kipkul collar.

What breeds and sizes is it designed for?

Kipkul is designed for the full population. Brachycephalic breeds like Bulldogs, Pugs and French Bulldogs face elevated thermal risk due to restricted airways. Older, overweight or medically compromised dogs face higher risk across all conditions. Breed, age and medical history are calibration inputs in onboarding so the system adapts to each individual.

How does setup work?

Setup takes about 5 minutes. You download the Kipkul app, answer 12 onboarding questions covering age, breed, coat type, weight, conditions and lifestyle, then attach the module to your dog's collar. The first 5 days run in calibration mode — the device learns your dog's baseline. From day 6 onward, the full algorithm suite activates with a complete personalized profile.

03Health monitoring
How does Kipkul learn what's normal for my dog?

During onboarding you answer 12 questions covering age, breed, coat type, weight, reproductive status, habitual activity level, medical conditions, mobility, energy and living environment. The system uses these to calculate personalized targets before the collar is worn. The first 5 days run in calibration mode, establishing individual baselines for temperature and respiratory rate. From day 6, the full algorithm activates — and the baseline keeps refining as your dog wears the device.

What alerts will I receive?

The app delivers clear, actionable alerts with concrete next steps. For heat deviations, it may prompt you to move your dog to shade and offer water immediately. For sustained sleep quality drops over several days, it may recommend a vet visit. The system avoids vague warnings — every alert includes specific actions you can take.

Can Kipkul help me spot heatstroke risk in time?

Yes. The Heat Score compares your dog’s temperature with their own baseline and combines it with ambient heat and humidity. When risk starts to rise, the app tells you what to do, like moving to shade and offering water. Kipkul doesn’t diagnose heatstroke or replace your vet: if your dog shows signs of heat distress, call a vet right away.

Is Kipkul a medical device?

Kipkul is a preventive wellness tool, not a diagnostic device. It does not diagnose conditions or replace veterinary judgment. Its clinical value is in detecting early deviations that warrant professional attention — reducing the likelihood that you arrive at the clinic with your dog already in an advanced stage of a problem. Diagnosis remains the responsibility of your vet.

04App & membership
Is the app free?

Yes. The app and the Free plan are included for life, no card needed. Kipkul+ is optional.

What does Kipkul+ include?

GPS and safety with built-in LTE-M, Kipkul AI, behavior analysis and advanced insights, on top of the Free plan. 6,99 €/month, or save 17% with annual billing.

Do I need a free trial?

No. Essential monitoring is free for life. Add Kipkul+ anytime from the app.

Can I add multiple dogs?

Plans support 1, 2, 3 or 4 dogs on a single subscription. All dogs share the same household account and feature set — only the number of paired devices changes. You can invite family members as co-administrators or guest users for shared use.

05Kickstarter & shipping
What is Kickstarter and how does it work?

Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform where you pre-order products from emerging companies. You pledge an amount, funds are collected only if the campaign hits its goal, and the product ships once production is complete. Joining the Kipkul waitlist guarantees launch-day notification, founding-member pricing (20% off, or 30% if you reserve for €1), and priority shipping.

When will I receive my Kipkul?

The Kickstarter campaign launches in spring 2027. After it closes, production begins immediately and the first shipment batch goes to backers. Exact shipping timelines will be confirmed when the campaign opens. Waitlist members receive a precise schedule before the campaign goes live.

Where do you ship?

We ship worldwide. The device uses LTE-M cellular connectivity which operates on existing networks globally, so Kipkul works the same in the U.S., Europe and most other countries. Shipping costs and timelines per region will be detailed in the Kickstarter campaign.

How do the early-bird discounts work?

Everyone on the Kipkul waitlist receives a private early-access link to the Kickstarter with 20% founding-member pricing applied automatically. If you reserve your spot for just €1, you lock in the maximum 30% discount plus priority shipping. No codes needed — the discount is applied automatically through your link.

06Data & privacy
Does Kipkul work without my phone nearby?

With Kipkul+, yes. Its built-in LTE-M connection keeps GPS, live tracking and alerts running even when your phone isn’t around, so you always know where your dog is. On the Free plan, Kipkul syncs through the app on your phone.

What happens to my dog's health data?

Your dog's health data is yours. We use it solely to build the individual baseline that makes Kipkul accurate over time, and to power the alerts and scores in the app. Data is never sold to third parties. You can export reports for your vet directly from the app, and request data deletion at any time.
