Abstract

A health and safety system and method are described for use on equines, canines and felines, in order to obtain data on vital life-sustaining or life-threatening processes and signs directly from the animal. The vital life-sustaining and/or life-threatening processes and/or signs in the form of data are communicated from the animal to a site remote from the equine, canine and feline. The remotely communicated data can be archived and/or communicated to a veterinarian/owner/steward/or other designate, to induce human intervention. Other sensors of the health and safety system can read/report environmental conditions, such as weather, or report other environmental conditions, such as smoke/pollution remote from, and/or proximate the animal. A position locator, such as a GPS, may also be built into the equine health and safety system. The equine health and safety system may include a halter/hackamore/bridle/harness or other components, such as a medallion, provided with a QR, or other codes, that can be read by a smart phone to put the telephone into contact with a veterinarian, an owner, stable or other authorized care custodian of the equine, canine or feline. A method of providing at least one response to the read vital life processes and signs, such as warming the equine, canine or feline, is also described.
