Every month brings new products and services in the pet technology space. If you are a tech geek and pet lover, you will want to keep tabs on these new developments.

Monitor Your Dog's Health with a Smart Tracker

While dogs can't talk, getting a smart tracker is the next best thing. These devices attach to your dog's collar and monitor their location, exercise activity, health vitals (weight, body temperature, pulse) and more. The primary benefit however, is the ability to pinpoint your pet's exact location through a GPS tracker.  With more than 10 million pets lost each year, this feature will help you recover your furry companion if they should ever go missing. Do your research before you purchase, as there are over 20 different smart trackers on the market, and the devices vary greatly in features, benefits and pricing.

Keep Your Pet Fit with a Smart Feeder 

With more than 40% of dogs found to be overweight, many pet parents are seeking a way to help keep their pets in shape.

Smart Feeders are new devices that can monitor your pet's food and water consumption.  Most allow programming that will deliver a precise serving on a schedule. You can also track eating habits on an app that lists reports and recommendations. These features will help pet owners from overfeeding their pet.  

Many smart feeders can also dispense different meals to different pets by using an RFID device that attaches to your pet's collar. This feature is very useful in homes with multiple pets as it works to prevent one pet from eating another's food.

Some feeders even have a camera attached, so you can watch them eat from your smartphone!

Get Your Pet Moving with an Interactive Toy 

Most pets need more exercise and attention than they are currently receiving. To help keep pets active while boosting their mental and physical skills, there are a handful of new interactive toys that can work wonders.  

GoBone and WickedBone are movable bones that can race around a room. They can be loaded up with treats to encourage your dog to chase them and can be controlled from an app on your phone. 

Puppod and Pet Tutor are smart toys that are designed to stimulate your dog and give them rewards for certain behaviors. Your pet uses multicolor touch pads and custom sounds to solve puzzles. Both toys can be managed through an app on your phone.
