Pets are a big part of the household and require much care and attention from the family. Apart from the right nutrition, exercise, and other care, there are many avenues to explore when it comes to the pet accessories business. Many smart devices have come up in the market to help with pet parenting and make the journey a bit easier for pet parents. Here are some of the smart devices to explore for pets.

Pet camera
Leaving the pet alone at home is a thought that leaves most pet parents worrying and anxious. This separation anxiety (of the parent) can easily be solved with this convenient device called the pet camera. Just like a nanny cam was devised with the purpose of keeping an eye on the kid, pet cameras are made for the same objective. There are many pet cameras available in the market, and all have some unique or special features. Most have the 360-degree view option, and night vision mode lets one look at their pet even in the dark.

Self-cleaning litter
This is a great way to keep a cat’s litter clean and maintained when one is not around the house. In these self-cleaning litter devices, the pet waste is automatically separated into another compartment, which is sealed. There is also an in-built deodorizing component that helps remove a lingering odor from the pet waste. These litter devices are also easy to disassemble and put up again, and it takes only a couple of minutes to do this.

Ball launcher
This is a great way of playing a game of fetch with one’s dog without having to throw the ball. There are many automatic ball launchers available in the market, which make fetching more fun and a little easier for the pet parents. In some launchers, there are different angles and power settings available. This means that the pet parent can tweak the desired height and power for the ball’s launch. This can be done by considering one’s dog’s ability and engagement level to see whether they will be willing to run the distance to fetch the ball. It can also make for an easy game in the backyard, or one can take this to the dog park, where it is safe for them to be off-leash.

Automatic pet feeder
For any pet parent who is out of the house for a couple of hours, this pet feeder can be a good option. One can add the timings to the feeder, and it can fill the pet’s food bowl accordingly without them being overfed with extra leftover food.

GPS tracker
This is a great way to keep a tab on one’s pet, especially when one is away. Some also use this tracker as a way to check the pet’s step count and fitness data, which can help in their exercise and activity management. However, one should not confuse a GPS tracker with a shock collar, so it is always important to be mindful of all the features available in the shock collar.
