This study was aimed to evaluate the accuracy of heart rate (HR) measurements using 3 smartwatch models designed for human use when applied to dogs. A group of 15 mixed breed dogs, ages ranging from 2 to 3 years, weighing between 20 and 30 kg were used. The Garmin Fenix 5X plus (GF5Xp), Samsung Gear S3 (SGS3), and Polygold A-6 (PDA6), were randomly placed on the tibia of dogs to collect the HR recordings every 5 minutes for 1 hour. A veterinary patient monitor (VPM) was used as the reference method. A Bland Altman plot was applied to determine the difference between smartwatches. The receiver operating characteristic curves were developed analysis for sensitivity and specificity. The HR measured by VPM ranged from 65 to 200 bpm (mean, 149.3 28.1 bpm; median, 154 bpm). Among the smartwatches, the lowest (44 bpm) HR was measured by PDA6, while the highest (201 bpm) was measured by SGS3. Among the smartwatches; GF5Xp and SGS3 had slopes equal to 1 and residual standard deviation closer to 0, in agreement with VPM. At the cut-off HR (160 bpm), SGS3 had the highest sensitivity (97.4%), whereas PDA6 had the lowest sensitivity (68.0%). The specificity of GF5Xp, SGS3, and PDA6 was 97.1%, 98.0%, and 98.0%, respectively. The SGS3 and GF5Xp can be ideal tools for veterinarians to monitor the HR of dogs without requiring an additional device.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
