Technology for our Dogs!

There are so many automated options available today for our fur kids, here are some ideas for your dogs:

Smart Collars and GPS Trackers: Smart collars allow owners to track their dog using GPS and cellular signals. They also allow owners to create invisible fences or identify desired radiuses for their pup to stay within. Some collars may include health and fitness tracking, though some apps offer significantly more detailed information than others. Advanced features include sleep monitoring, and keeping track of scratching, licking, and other indicators of potential health issues. Three popular choices are Fi Fi Series 3 Smart Collar, Halo 2+ Dog Collar and the Whistle Health + GPS + Fitness Dog Collar.
