Technology for PetCare
If there is one thing that we all, almost without distinction, care a lot about, it is the well-being of our four-legged friends. Technology, in recent years, has made giant strides not only in improving our daily lives, but also that of our furry friends. Thanks to advanced devices and recent innovations we can now take care of our puppies more effectively, monitoring their health, well-being and even mood. Here are some of the main ways technology is transforming the world of PetCare.
Health monitoring via wearables
One of the most recent and noteworthy developments is the introduction of wearable devices, similar in every way to the fitness or wellness trackers that humans use. Devices like FitBark or Whistle can monitor a variety of parameters of our four-legged friends making PetCare simpler and more effective, such as physical activity, sleep quality and behavior patterns. Furthermore, these devices send timely signals to human owners when they detect signs of discomfort or illness, thus allowing action to be taken in adequate time. Not only that! These wearables, by collecting a lot of data on the animal, can also help the veterinarian make a faster and more accurate diagnosis.
Automated and personalized feeding
Nutrition in PetCare has also been improved by the advancement of technology. In fact, automatic food dispensers have recently been introduced, for example Petnet SmartFeeder, which allow you to plan meals and adjust the quantity and type of food in a personalized way based on factors such as weight, age and age. physical activity of the animal, preventing common problems such as obesity. More advanced models can also keep an eye on the amount of food available and send a notification to your smartphone when the tank needs to be refilled!
Games and interactive entertainment
We know well how play and activity are essential for the physical and mental well-being of our four-legged friends: technology has now made a step forward in petcare possible, allowing us to entertain our animals even when we are not physically with them. In fact, there are interactive toys, such as iFetch, which automatically launch balls for dogs, stimulating exercise and fun. Other devices, such as Furbo, have an interactive camera that allows owners to interact, remotely, with their pets, throwing treats and talking, ensuring the puppy doesn’t feel alone.
Security and GPS Monitoring
For those who love adventure, live in rural areas or simply like to leave their animals free to explore, GPS technology is a valid ally for monitoring the movements of their four-legged friends and ensuring their safety. Products like Tractive track the position of your dog or cat in real time and send timely notifications if the animal moves away from a pre-established area.
Finding lost pets with facial recognition
Having a pet run away or get lost is every owner’s nightmare, but fortunately it seems that this problem is being resolved. Artificial intelligence, in fact, can help animals reunite with their families. Apps like Finding Rover use innovative facial recognition technology that allows you to create a unique identity for each animal. After registering it on the platform, therefore, it can easily be identified, if it were to get lost, through photos and videos that other users can take, to return it more quickly to the owners. This technology has already helped thousands of families find their lost four-legged friends.
Conclusion
When it comes to your pets, there is nothing better for owners than knowing they are happy, healthy and safe. In this field, technology is offering all kinds of tools for health, safety and entertainment, and we can expect these devices to be increasingly sophisticated, widespread and accessible.
