It’s no secret thattechnology is infiltrating every area of our lives; our work, our homes, evenhow we care for and interact with our pets. Adopting new technology can be alittle nerve-wracking at first, especially when it has an impact on our pets’ lives.This being said, it can also open up our lives to greater connection, support,and care. The following will explore some of the newer tech available that canhelp make your life as a pet owner more comfortable and the lives of your furryfriends healthier and happier.

Of course, no one knowsyour pet better than you do. Always listen to your instincts when it comes toyour animal buddy. Some pets love new things, while others take time to getused to them. Never rush the introduction or inclusion of a new element intoyour pet’s life. Give them time to sniff and see and listen to any new devicesbefore you include them as a part of your regular schedule. Technology is justas new and bewildering for them as it is for us.

We love our pets. But sometimes we don’t understand what it is they’re trying to tell us. Several products are available on the market that can improve communication, and therefore, pet training. For example, there are devices whereby your dog can push a button whenever he or she needs to go outside for a pee. This can save you a lot of clean up time, especially if you’ve got an older dog who is trying their best to hold it but doesn’t have the muscle strength they used to. This device will also save your pet a lot of uncomfortable waiting time.

If you are away for work or other reasons occasionally during your pet’s mealtime, you know how stressful it can be. Do you feed them extra before you go? Do you make them wait? Do you bug your sister to come over and feed them even though you know she’s going to eat all the fun food in your house before she goes? We know that feeding your pet on a regular schedule is good for their training and emotional well being.There are smart feeders that link up to your phone and allow you to feed your pets right on schedule. Most of these feeders work by having a large storage of food up top (sort of like a water cooler) that releases a measured amount whenever you program it with your app. This means something like getting stuck in traffic on your way home isn’t going to result in your furry friend going hungry for an hour.

If you’ve got a runner—that is a furry friend that loves taking off and exploring new places—you know all too well the worry that comes along with your friendship.The idea of losing a pet is scary for us and dangerous for our beloved pals, especially if you live near busy roads. Experts at mydogisarobot.com point out that there are new collars that track the location of your pet on your phone or computer. Some of these devices even come with extra features that keep you updated on whether your pet is getting enough exercise, sleep, and nutrition as well as whether their bodies are at an ideal temperature or not.

 By exploring the abovetechnologies and integrating them into your regular pet-care habits, you arewell on your way to making your pet’s life smoother and more comfortable.Always read the full instructions of any device you buy before allowing yourpet to interact with it.
