5 Ways Technology Is Improving Pet Safety & Care

Dog parents leave no stone unturned in making their pets feel safe and loved. Technology comes to their aid with some convenient applications, devices and toys. If you're the parent of a four-legged wonder, here's how you can use technology to improve your dog's standard of living and safety.



GPS Tracking Device

Every dog mom has nightmares about losing her dog in the neighborhood. Well, not anymore! Thanks to GPS tracking devices, you can keep an eye on your dog's location anytime, anywhere! Businesses are creating technological solutions to track and secure delivered packages, so why not your dog? These microchip devices slip onto a dog collar and stay connected with your smartphones or tablets, giving you a live stream of your precious canine’s location. What if your dog snaps off the device in a fit of curiosity? Don't worry, microchips can embed inside the animal.

Webcam

Many dogs have a bad time adjusting to their new home. From separation anxiety to night terrors, our previous furry friends face many roadblocks before they get accustomed to their surroundings. A great way to sleep train your dog and practice healthy separation is by installing a Webcam on a dog kennel. This ensures you can keep an eye on your dog's activities through the night from the comfort of your bed. Many Webcams also have two-way voice assistance, so you can be alerted if your dog is whining or crying. These Webcams can be comfortably mounted on the dog Kennel for real-time video streaming of the new member of your family. If you're looking for a comfortable and ergonomic dog kennel, your search ends at My Dog Supplies. These kennels support mounted cameras securely.

Health & Diet Apps

The fitness and healthy eating trend have spread like wildfire. And we aren't talking about humans alone! Pet parents are increasingly investing in monitoring and improving the health of their pets. This involves smart devices strapped onto the pet to monitor heart rate, blood pressure, sugar spikes and other health metrics. This pet-centric device syncs with your smartphone to throw up optimal meal plans, activity schedules and more.

One-Touch Vet Assistance

Many state-of-the-art vet clinics offer applications that keep your dog connected with his doctor. From emergency consultations, routine updates and reminders, these personalized apps ensure you're a step ahead of your dog's healthcare plan. It eliminates the need for dog owners to set notifications to remember important dates. In-house clinic apps have a complete record of your dog's medical history so any new doctor can diagnose and treat your dog promptly.
