New Gadgets for Your Pet

We’re living in an age of technological marvels. It seems like almost every day there are new products and gadgets released. What about our furry friends? It seems that Fluffy and Fido both have fans in the technical sectors, as some really cool gadgets have been made just for them. A vet lists some of them below.

GPS Trackers

Man’s Best Friend loves exploring, and won’t hesitate to slip away for some doggy shenanigans. Some breeds, like huskies, are notorious for running off. Luckily, you can now get your pup a doggy GPS tracker. Some of these will alert you when your adventurous pet crosses a specific boundary, such as the edge of your yard.

Laser Pointers

Fluffy and Fido are both obsessed with chasing that little red dot. Now there are gadgets that allow you to play with your dog or cat remotely, by controlling a laser pointer with your smartphone. You can also speak to your pet through these gadgets. Some even allow you to dispense treats!

Microchip Feeders

Another way to spoil your furry buddy is with a microchip feeder. This feeder will only open when the pet wearing a specific collar tag comes into range. This is great for people with pets that steal each other’s food!

Interactive Toys

Dogs and cats love to jump and chase after things. There are now toys that move with your four-legged friend, making playtime both more fun and more challenging.

Laptop Scratching Pad

Does your kitty have a habit of walking across your keyboard? Give your pet her own ‘computer’ by getting her a laptop scratching pad.

Interactive Ball Launchers

You may have heard of mechanical ball launchers, which are definitely one of Fido’s favorite modern toys. The interactive ball launcher is a bit different in that it will shoot a mini-tennis ball from one of several holes. Your pup will never know which direction the ball will be launched in, which makes it extra fun for him.

Remote-Controlled Mouse

This one is pretty self-explanatory. Your feline friend may not be able to resist ‘hunting’ a robotic mouse. Of course, Fluffy is a bit old-fashioned, and will never outgrow her love for cardboard boxes or paper grocery bags.
