TOYS, CONTROLLED BY YOUR PHONE
Whilst standard dog toys like squeakers and
bones will always have a place, cool gadgets
for pets are more popular than ever before,
and each year a manufacturer will bring out a
new toy that’s more exciting for both dog and
owner than whatever came before it. Furbo,
for example, is a dog CCTV camera that allows
you to throw out a treat and talk to your dog
when you’re away from home, whilst the $100
iCalmDog plays out 4-hour soothing tracks in
your home [https://icalmpet.com/] (though
you could use a HomePod or Amazon Alexa
to do the same thing for free). If you’re tired of
throwing a ball around, you can treat your pet
to iFetch, where you can place balls inside the
cannon, for them to be launched up to 30 feet
away with just the touch of a button, whilst the
DART Laser Toy has sixteen different play styles,
keeping your cats and dogs entertained for
hours as they chase laser lights around your
living room.
NEW INNOVATIONS IN HEALTHCARE
Although technology cannot replace
professional guidance from a veterinary nurse
just yet, it is going a long way to creating
healthier, happier pets - and owners, too.
