If you have a pet, then you’ll agree: There are few things you wouldn’t do to make them happy.
But honestly, being human can have its limitations. For example, if we could shoot lasers out of our arms, we’d surely spend a few minutes a day entertaining our cats with them. If we didn’t need jobs and could spend all day feeding our dogs treats… well, we just might.
Alas – while we can’t do everything to make our pets happy, at least we can enlist some help from the world of technology. And in honor of “Love Your Pet Day” (that’s today!), here are 11 cool gadgets that make life better for our pets – and ourselves!
1. Make sure your pets always have the perfect amount of food with this Automatic Food Dispenser
Feeding pets (in this case, cats and dogs) is a labor of love… but it’s still labor. Make it easy with this clever invention!
Promising Review: “Y’all. This may have been the best frivolous purchase I’ve ever made. No longer am I woken up by whiny cats every morning because they have obviously never eaten before in their lives. I feel confident that they’ll be kept alive when I’m gone next weekend (and yes I’m going to ask a neighbor to check on them a couple of times, don’t worry).” – Erin R.

4. Keep your dog healthy and strong with these pet-friendly multi vitamin chews
Keeping your dog healthy doesn’t just make their life better, fewer visits to the vet could make your wallet happier too!
Promising Review: “My dog has been too weak after recovering from his surgery. After seeing the multivitamin in an advertisement, really wanted to try it out. After the first month, my dog is really starting to be active again and that’s why even after he’s back in full health, I want to let him take this for life!” – Daniella Samson

5. Don’t let your dog track in mud on their paws… give them the Paw Plunger instead!
Promising Review: “This thing really works! I’ve had a bunch of people ask me about it (I posted an endorsement on FaceBook a few weeks ago) and some folks say “Why not just use a bucket and a towel?”. Well, let me tell you why…
First of all, the Paw Plunger has an “aperture” seal on the top, that keeps most of the water inside the receptacle.
Secondly, it has scrubby brushes inside to remove grit, salt, dirt, etc. Does your bucket have these?
Thirdly, the handle on the side is very useful – instead of just dipping a dirty paw into a bucket of water, something that even the most chillaxin’ pooch might have a problem with, you just hold the dog’s paw and leg stationary, and move the Paw Plunger up and down via the handle. Genius!” – Dennis M.

6. Treat your dog or cat like royalty with this Orthopedic Dog Bed!
Promising Review: “DO not be afraid to purchase this bed, it’s wonderful! I throw it in the washer and the dryer and it comes out as soft as when I first bought it, and hold it’s shape! Great purhase!” – LaurieB

7. Protect them from fleas with this ultra-long-lasting flea collar (works for 8 months straight!)
Don’t let them suffer! You may not know it just by looking, but the collar is also highly fashionable (in dog fashion, that is).
Promising Review: “This collar is PERFECT. Okay so I was really really super skeptical about buying this for several reasons:
– I hate the thought of my two pups having to constantly wear an extra collar
– I’ve tried the flea/tick collars from Walmart and they were greasy and had a weird smell but even worse, they did NOT work.
– I’ve read some of the horrifying reviews
– I’m just a skeptical person and simply didn’t think this would work.
BUT IM A BELIEVER NOW. I’m sold and plan on continuing with this product from here on out. NO MORE GREASY NASTY SMELLY TOPICAL MONTHLY TICK GREASE!” – Amazon Customer

8. Your cat will FREAK OUT when they see this amazing playplace – it’s perfectly designed to keep cats happy!
Promising Review: “This is by far the best investment in a toy that I have ever made for my cat. He loves interaction with it and did not like other ball chasers in the past. I did a YouTube review on it and highly recommend it. Balls glide around smoothly. Cats paws don’t get stuck in the tracks. Balls are brightly colored and easy to see for my one eyed little boy who has depth perception issues with his vision.” – Fussy New Yorker

10. Can’t spend all day playing with your pet? No problem – get them Peppy! This “intelligent toy” will keep them entertained for HOURS on end!
It’s even 100% non-toxic and tear resistant – so your pet can chew it up all day long without worry.
Promising Review: “One of my biggest concerns as a pet owner is whether or not my dogs are going crazy when I’m not home. This product completely eliminated that concern. My dogs can effortlessly use it and play whenever they want. It’s sturdy and very easy to clean and maintain. Incredible gift for any pet owner!” – Vincent N., Dog Trainer
11. Does your pet like to explore? Don’t lose track of them… use XY Find It to get their location whenever you need!
It’s small and easily fits on your pet’s collar, keeping you in the loop on their whereabouts at all times. Even better, it works to track ANYTHING… so you can even use it for your phone, wallet, or other valuables!
Promising Review: “This is pure brilliance all the way! The XY App is easy to download, for both iPhone and Android, easy to use and set up, and consistently reliable and accurate!! No more lost or misplaced keys. The App is well integrated with the GPS devices that snap onto keychains, a dog or cat collar, luggage, purse……you name it; you can select whatever you want to track and how. For example, the tracking alerts can be kept running in the background, sending banner alerts to your iPhone or Android, as well as providing an option to signal an audible alert as well as either with or separately, using a location map. Or you can elect to have the alerts/signals active when the Apps is running on demand. Pure genius!! As well as providing peace of mind!” – AAWoolz
