We're happy to announce Strava's integration with the Fi Smart Collar for dogs. The Fi collar uses GPS and the LTE-M network to remotely track your dog, and also tracks their sleep, activity and steps. 


Find out more about the Fi Collar


Fi automatically records your walks with your dog, and with our new integration these walks will be uploaded to Strava to share with your entire community. When your Fi walks are uploaded to Strava they will include a graphic featuring stats on steps taken, and how your dog ranks among other dogs on Fi.


If you’ve been waiting to try out Fi, now’s the perfect time because Strava athletes can access a special offer of $20 off and up to 3 months free. Use the code “STRAVA20” and learn more about the smart collar here

To celebrate, we've polled Strava and Fi employees about the dogs in their lives.  If you like looking at pictures of dogs, sit back and enjoy.

@Kirstie Gorgeous!  What breed/mix?  


He's a little podenco x Brittany, he was found on the streets in Spain with his mum and litter mates at 10 days old. I've had him since he was six months and he has been the most amazing trail buddy. He recently moved to Australia with me so he is a very well traveled boy. We have had some amazing adventures together all over the UK and now in Australia. He's one in a million, my Doug! 


I connected the Fi app from my dogs collar to Strava, took the dog on a walk, and nothing.   Does a separate dog account need to be created before connecting the app?  If I am already logged in on the app for myself, how does it post for the dog?   I watched the 30 second video on the fi collar website, but details are lacking from both sites as far as I can find.


For recording, please ensure that the Fi app is open and running in the background. Then once you leave your home base it detects that you are now on a walk and will record until you return home. Then it will automatically end the walk and sync to Strava. If you continue to have issues please feel free to write in to our customer support team and they can troubleshoot what might be going on,


You are killing Strava with this tosh.  Athletes don't want to see MORE dog walks.  Either change your name to Facebook or give the athletes the old Strava back.  I remember a time when people on Strava only posted interesting bike rides and runs.  Now my feed is full of yoga, walks to the shops, stretching, etc...   You are in danger of losing all the people for whom you invented Strava for!


Sad to say .. I kind of agree with @Aerialdan with respect to the dog-walks on Strava.  I don't hink my cycling buddies want to see it in the feed any more than I do.  My daughters however do want to see my dog's feed (and not mine). Perhaps post to my dog's own account? But ... and clearly I'm doing something wrong ... ran both Strava and Fi and here is the comparison.  Is this the best Fi (on the right) can do with the same tracking? Pretty lame.
