Top 6 Dog & Cat Tech Products for 2017
There’s been some really exciting innovation in dog and cat supplies in the last 2 years. After spoiling ourselves with technology for so long, it was only a matter of time before pet supplies caught up! Dog and cat owners around Australia are now opening their minds and their homes to the hi-tech next generation of pet products. With lots of different tech products entering the market, it’s difficult to tell which ones are going to be the best sellers in 2017. We’ve had a look around and put together a countdown list of the top 6 we think are pretty cool!
#6 MyPetKit Bowl: Accurate weighing and anti-bacterial technology
Most pet owners are pretty imprecise when it comes to the quantities of food we give our pet each day. The result is a very inconsistent and often unhealthy diet. The PETKIT App calculates the amount of food to give your pet according to a variety of factors including weight, age, breed, and food brand. Then you can use the bowl’s high accuracy weighing technology to help you feed your pet the perfect amount each day.If that wasn’t enough, the bowls are made from new anti-bacterial material that reduces contamination which causes diarrhea, as well as other unwanted illnesses!
#5 LED: Stylish safety accessories
While LED technology has been around for a while, the quality, availability and popularity of LED accessories has soared in 2016. Both dog and cat owners have started to appreciate the safety it brings when your pets are out at night. Whether it’s a collar light to make your night prowling cat more visible to traffic or a dog harness to help keep your dog visible during night time walks, these accessories come with USB rechargeable technology so you never have to worry about batteries!
LED balls are also a great way to make playing fetch at night a ‘walk in the park’ once again!
