Pet technology
When we’re not around out our pets, we want to be sure that they’re safe, happy and staying out of trouble. Thanks to the latest pet technology. Now we’re able to monitor their health and safety, keep them calm and interact with them remotely. Did you know that the average pet owner spends approximately $1300 each year on their pets? This means that besides just bedding and clothing for pets, more people are digging deeper into their wallets to invest in pet technology.
So what’s the latest in pet technology? Let’s take a look:
- Monitoring and interaction devices
Aren’t you glad that even while at the office you don’t have to rush home over the lunch hour or during breaks to check on your pets? Monitoring and interaction devices keep you abreast with what’s happening while you’re away:
- Petcube – On its other devices, pet cube expands to allow you to monitor and interact with your pet through an HD microphone and speaker. After recognizing your cat or dog, pet cube automatically starts a video recording. The video clip is then sent to you. You can also share or store the clip.
- Petkit-Mate -With its 340-degree camera, you can not only take pictures or videos of your pet throughout the day but also communicate real time.
- Activity tracking devices
There are lots of dog activity monitors in the market. Some include:
- A whistle -The days of worrying about your dog running away are finally over. A whistle can locate your dog up to 3000 miles away using GPS, WI-FI, and cellular technology. Apart from monitoring their sleep patterns, the device also alerts you should they wander away from home.
- Smart GPC dog collar – The smart collar, though slightly costly than the whistle provides other options like training aids, temperature alerts, and picture taking.
Finding an independent source of information about the burgeoning pet industry is important. Luckily, MY DOG IS A ROBOT releases interesting new products and services for pets and their people every month.

We need to be mindful of your pets’ health. Using these gadgets, your ability to monitor sleep or temperature as well as heart rate is right at your fingertips:
