From Panic to Purpose - The Birth of Petronix Wear

From Panic to Purpose: How Petronix Wear Was Born

It started as a relaxing afternoon by the lake. Brent Halverson was sitting on a dock while his young dog, Molly, roamed freely. That peace shattered when Molly disappeared from view. As Brent called for her, anxiety set in. What if she ran around the beach point? What if she got into trouble? She eventually reappeared—covered in dead fish and oblivious to the stress she had caused.

This wasn’t just a one-off. Brent, a veteran entrepreneur and dog lover, had encountered similar issues before. The moment crystalized a deeper need: what if a device could proactively alert him before Molly got into trouble? What if it could help avoid incidents—not just react after the fact?

With a background in electrical engineering and enterprise software, Brent began working on what would become Petronix Wear. The goal was simple but ambitious: enable off-leash adventures without the stress. Not just location tracking—but real-time intelligence, behavior monitoring, hazard detection, and community-driven safety.

Today, Petronix Wear continues to reflect that original purpose—making outdoor adventures safer and more enjoyable for dogs, their owners, and everyone they meet on the trail.
