Pawsome Pets: Gadgets that tech-savvy pet parents can look out for

It is growing into a multi-million-dollar market because a gadget might just let you go to work or on a mini vacation without having to worry about your pooch or cat. So, the next time you have a relative visiting from abroad, you know what to ask them for… on behalf of your pet of course!

If you’re at the office but are worried about your pet eating too much or not eating at the right time, an automatic feeder can help. The timer can be set in advance to release a specific amount of dry food into the bowl; some advanced devices come with a water filler too.

This cutting edge technology helps to pinpoint the animal’s location in real time and sends out alert if it leaves a pre-determined area or ‘geo fence’.

Fun and cute, this gadget plays ‘fetch’ with your dog. Once the dog drops the ball into the top (requires prior training) the ball is launched out of the machine for your pooch to chase after!

For animals that suffer from separation anxiety or phobia towards loud noises, non-invasive gadgets to help reduce stress and fear such as speakers have come out. They are preloaded with calming and frequency-specific music and can be controlled via Bluetooth.

Keep tab on your pet from anywhere, at any time, using cameras (up to 130 degree viewing angle and HD visuals) that can either be mounted on the collar, placed on a table or attached to the wall.
