It’s pet ownership season. And for many people, that means a trip to the veterinarian to adopt a new furbaby or four. You may be struggling to find the perfect match between your home and your furry friend, but it’s probably best not to think about adding another animal if you’ve already got a kiddo and a cat.
Do your research before getting a new pet and ask around where you live, or check out local websites for recommendations. There are so many great options available these days, and most of them won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
There are so many ways to have peace of mind while keeping tabs on your furbaby, from automatic litter boxes to remote monitoring apps. Here is a quick overview of some of the more popular technologies to help you get started on the right track with your new pet.
1. Whistle
If you have a micro mini bulldog, be prepared for a long leash. These pups are notoriously strong and will pull you out of the house if you don’t keep them close by. They can be so strong that they can even break a standard leash.
If you want to keep your pup from pulling on the leash, you can get a harness that will help distribute your pet’s weight more evenly and keep them from bouncing around. But if you’re looking for a collar for your dog, this is one area where you don’t have to skimp. There are plenty of options out there, and there is one that’s right for you.
2. Wisdom Panel
If you’re in the market for a new pet, you’ve probably heard of the Wisdom Panel. The panel is an online service that allows you to take your dog’s DNA and run it through a database to determine their breed and other characteristics. This will enable people to understand better what kind of pet they are getting into.
You can also use the panel to find out the animal’s ideal weight and what type of food they should be eating. And if you’re looking for a new pet, you will want to consider the panel. It’s not just a fun way to learn more about your future pet, and it’s also a great way to find out what kind of pet you’re looking for.
3. Dogtastic
It’s essential to research the breed of your new pet, and that means getting a good idea of what they’re capable of. Some dogs are great with kids but can be aggressive towards other animals. Others can be calm and friendly but are prone to aggression issues.
The Dogtastic app is a great tool to use when looking for a new pet because it allows you to learn about your dog’s kind of personality traits. The app uses information from the Wisdom Panel, so you must get this service before making a purchase. It’s also helpful if you want to find out more about your new furbaby before bringing them home to make sure they get along well with other animals in your home.
4. Microchip Pet Door
Some dogs are very close to the kennel door, and you must train them to stay away from this area. The Pet Door is an automatic pet door that will allow you to keep your dog out of the house and keep the dog in the place you need them. It will open a small hole in the door, allowing your dog to come and go as they please without going through the whole process of opening and closing a door. This is an excellent way for owners who want their dogs close but don’t want them inside their homes all day long.
5. Pet Tracker
Most pet owners want to know what their dogs are doing, where they are, and what they’re up to. The Pet Tracker is a GPS device that allows you to keep track of your dog’s location. You can set up your pet to come and go as they please, but you can also set up boundaries for where your dog is allowed to go. The device sends a signal to a base station that will send push notifications to you, so you’ll always know where your dog is.
So many technologies have become widely available for pet owners in the past few decades. From small, low-tech devices to high-tech solutions, we’re seeing more and more ways for pet parents to keep their furry friends happy and healthy.
