Gifts for the Four Legged Friend in Your Life

While your pooch or kitty might not be that intent on using tablets and the different apps that are on the market, they might like some techy gifts this holiday season. Do people really have jobs where app development for animals is the goal? If you like to hit the road at dawn or dusk, you and your dog will enjoy greater visibility with the Nite Ize Nite Dawg LED pet leash. Want to get your dog in shape because he has been lounging on the couch with you over Thanksgiving? FitBark is your solution. The small, bone-shaped sensor clips to a collar and uploads data about your dog’s activity whenever the device is in range of your smartphone or a small base station similar to a router. Want to play with your kitty while you are away? Petcube is a sleek-looking box that works with a mobile app to let you play with your cat when you’re away from home. The device houses a laser pointer you can control remotely to entertain your feline, plus a microphone and speaker so you can hear and talk to your cat. There’s also a wide-angle camera that can take photos and HD video you can save and share with others. You can even give friends and family access to the system so they can interact with your cat. Oh the things we do for our animals.
