How Technology Is Revolutionizing Owning a Pet
Owning a pet is a lot different—and a lot safer—than owning one 20 years ago. That’s largely due to advancements in pet technology. While some pet tech is simply fun and games, others can offer you added convenience and safety—like sensor-based medium dog doors.
Check out four impressive developments in animal care technologies that have made life as a pet owner that much better.
GPS Tracking
GPS technology can keep you up to date on your pet in many different ways. GPS-enabled collars can help you find Fido with an app or even a drone! GPS collars can also track your dog’s daily activity levels and alert you when he needs more exercise.
There’s an App for That
Sure, it’s fun to hand your iPad over to your kitty to let him swat at the fish on the screen, but you can do a lot more with your mobile device than just play games.
With apps, you can book a dog walker and monitor his walks, automate your food dish, and even watch your pet on camera while you’re at work or on holiday.
Microchipping
Microchipping might not be the latest technology, but it is one of the most important types of pet tech. A microchip is only the size of a grain of rice, but the peace of mind it offers pet owners is massive. It’s more reliable than collars and tags and can greatly increase the odds that you get reunited with a lost pet. Be sure to register your microchip and keep your contact information current.
Smarter Doggy Doors
Have you ever had an unwanted visitor enter through your doggy door? Or maybe you have one cat who can leave and another who needs to stay inside? Whatever the issue, today’s tech-equipped pet doors can help. You can install a pet door that responds only to your pet’s collar or even to his microchip.
