Canine’s Raincoat keeps Fido dry

canine-raincoatSome dogs loathe getting wet, making you wonder whether they are actually a cat in disguise, while others would greet the pitter patter of the rain with joy, and would not think twice about jumping into a river or a lake and have a great swim. Well, some of us tend to treat dogs like humans, which is something Cesar Millan would strongly advise against since they are dogs – not humans, period. Be the leader of the pack, and through my experience with my own two furkids, I have found that to be a pearl of wisdom worth hanging around the neck. For overprotective owners who want to keep their dogs nice and dry when it rains all of a sudden, then the $49.95 Canine’s Raincoat would come in handy.

This particular rainwear was designed to protect dogs in the same way an umbrella does to a human, from nose to tail. It is made out of a water-repellent nylon exterior and lined with soft fleece for snuggly, warm comfort, where it sports a removable transparent hood which will ensure that your dog’s head remains nice and dry without causing any obstruction to its ears. Apart from that, it comes with a reflective trim for maximum visibility, where the raincoat itself sports adjustable hook-and-loop fasteners around the chest and belly so that it will be able to enjoy an optimal fit all the time. Even a leash can be hooked up connected to raincoat’s D-Ring or to a dog’s harness via a button hole opening. Too bad it only comes in one color, green.

Treat your dog and test his smarts

fooblr

Remember the Sharper Image. Well 3 former members of the design team got back together and made a great new time delayed puzzle feeding dog toy. It’s called the Foobler!

They’re down to the last few hours of their campaign. If they raise $80,000 in funding they’ll activate a new pledge level that will have a bluetooth controlled Foobler with iOS and Android Apps.

The Foobler combines the best of what’s available for dog puzzle toys. With the latest crop of time delay feeders. Now you can actually feed your dog measured amounts of kibble while they play throughout the day.

The dog is alerted in intervals of 15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes and called with a real bell. One of the six kibble containing pods will align, and when the dog plays with the Foobler, they can get the kibble to fall out to eat. It engages and entertains your pet every single meal.

It’s great to make sure your dog isn’t just grazing all day. Also you’ll know exactly how much you’re serving and when they’ll get it. It’s great for diabetic dogs that are both encouraged to move around, and to have more meals of smaller portions. Just think, you can now finally deliver exacting portions while away at work all day.

It’s easy to clean (seriously watch their video on kickstarter, you can hand wash, or toss it in the top shelf of the dishwasher).

They even has a print at home card to put under the tree for that last minute gift for Fido!

Check it out here on Kickstarter.

Automatic Cat Litter Box helps make life more hygienic and easier

automatic-cat-litter-boxPets do give us plenty of comfort whenever we are down, although there are moments when life gets tough and their upkeep has proven to be rather challenging. For instance, bringing out your dog for a walk, or perhaps to clear up their litter box every single day. Cats have a great advantage over dogs since they tend to cover up their poop in their litter box, but you will still need to clear it from day to day by scooping it out. How about getting a little bit of automation into the picture? This is what the $399.95 Automatic Cat Litter Box offers.

The Automatic Cat Litter Box was rated “The Best” simply because it managed to clean a whole lot more quickly and thoroughly compared to all of the other models during evaluations performed by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. Once its sensor manages to detect the presence of a cat that had used the box and exited, The Best model will wait for seven minutes before it starts off its self-cleaning process, whereas lesser models will enable waste to linger for as long as 20 minutes. Apart from that, this particular model will also remove debris without the clumps and clogs which are the bane of other units in the market. A private, windowed globe will also empty itself after use by rotating upside down and sifting waste into a bottom drawer.

71Pm-78HZjL._SL1500_

There are a lot of dog lovers out there, me included. Let’s face it there’s a lot to love, but the truth be told, there are some aspects of canine companionship that leave me a little less enthused. Take muddy paws on clean hardwood floors for instance, what a pain! Worth it? Of course, but there has to be a way to handle it, that doesn’t involve silly rubber booties.

Well, now we have the Paw Plunger. Designed for folks just like me, who love the dog, and hate the mess, Paw Plunger is a simple and convenient way to get your pooches peds clean, quickly and easily, before he hops back in your car, or comes running into your house. The Paw Plunger is easy to use, the reusable container just needs to be filled, and when capped, its good to go anywhere your buddy might find himself dirty or muddy.

The Paw Plunger works like you would imagine, with soft bristles attached to the interior of the cup, you simply need to dip Rover’s little paws inside once or twice and then towel them off… no dirt, no salt, no problems. Don’t forget, it’s not just your squeaky clean floors and furniture that need protecting, Fido’s feet are none to happy about ice melting salt, or other caustic chemicals being left on his sensitive pads.

So if the Paw Plunger might make you, and your pet happy, you can have one for only around 25 bucks, at amazon.com. Paw plunger does comes in different sizes, so be sure to select the one thats the right fit for your pooch.

Pet-Remote lets you communicate with your dog via an app

pet-remoteDo you sometimes wonder whether your pooch actually understands all that you want to say to it? I know, some dog owners swear that they have a telepathic link with their four legged friends, while others claim that their dog is oblivious to all that is going on around them. Here is a new and easy way to communicate with your dog – thanks to the new Pet-Remote. The Pet-Remote happens to be a tiny vibrating device which will be able to play nice in tandem with a free iPhone App. All you need to do is to push a single button, and the Pet-Remote will be able to vibrate or play an acoustic signal, which your dog should then follow the Pavlovian principle and do what it is supposed to!

Of course, owning the Pet-Remote without a dog is pretty much useless, although we would not recommend hooking it up to a cat or other kinds of animals. Basically, once you have downloaded the free Pet-Remote iPhone app, do remember to attach the device itself to your dog’s collar. This is the first step when it comes to training your dog, and it could not get any simpler.

Once the Pet-Remote App is launched on your smartphone, you can then go ahead and push one of the command buttons. The tiny device on your dog’s collar will then vibrate and/or play an acoustic signal, depending on which particular setting it has been assigned to. This would allow your pooch to feel or hear the signal, followed by a relevant and corresponding reaction. In the first place, however, you would need to teach your dog just what you expect him to do when he receives a signal. It does seem as though the Pet-Remote is a high class clicker, but I guess this is one Indiegogo project that would be worth checking out. The Pet-Remote device itself tips the scales at a mere 10 grams, and it has a battery that can last it an entire year, now how about that for energy efficiency?

41ED1iVar9L

It’s down to the wire, we’re at the bottom of the ninth, with 2 outs… and you know you still have a few people left on your list that you can’t figure out one thing to get them. Maybe they already have everything, or you’re not sure what they like, in either case, I have the answer, and if you hurry, there’s still time to have one by Christmas.

Check out the Back to the Roots Aquafarm, incorporating both form and function, and utilizing the ancient Aztec art of aquaponics, a sustainable method of farming, combining aquaculture (raising aquatic animals) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water). Scaled way down to this table-top ecosystem that requires no maintenance, other than a little fish food now and then.

This amazingly unique AquaFarm combines a 3-gallon fish tank with a nifty vegetable and herb grow bed into one closed-loop system that fits easily on almost any kitchen counter. The environment takes care of itself, with the waste from the “fishie” providing nutrients for the plants, and the plants purifying the water for the fish!

So get yourself a Betta fish or a couple of Guppies, and use the included organic wheatgrass and basil seeds or get some other leafy greens, like parsley, cilantro or mint, and try your hand at Aquafarming. It’s the perfect gift, for the person that has it all, and its only around 60 bucks at amazon.com. Choose expedited shipping at checkout, or use Amazon Prime, and you can cross that last person off your list. Hurrah!

G-Paws Pet GPS Tracker ensures you know where your furry kid is at all times

gpawsAre you a dog or a cat lover? Some folks like both animals equally as much by making them pets in their homes, while others prefer to remain exclusively rooted to just one particular camp. It does not matter, as the £49.99 G-Paws Pet GPS Tracker would still come handy in making sure that you know just where your four pawed friend has wandered off to. Of course, most of the time, dogs are a whole lot more obedient – call them and they will come running to you. Cats, well, they turn up as and when they please. Still, it would be a shame to lose track of either.

The G-Paws Pet GPS Tracker is the ideal tool for you to know just where your pet has gone whenever they are not at home, and you can be very sure of the exact co-ordinates this time around, so that the neighbor five doors down can no longer accuse your dog of doing his business on his lawn, or to have a cat chew on his flowers, since the G-Paws Pet GPS Tracker would show that your pet has gone the other way around, trying to spread its “seed” to enlarge the number of its descendants. The G-Paws Pet GPS Tracker is robust and fully weatherproof as it should be, as it records its position every 5 seconds for up to 8 hours.Once done, plug it into your computer via USB, and you can check out the day’s movements.

PetChatz gives you Face Time with your dog

PetChatz
We hate leaving our pets alone for such a long stretch during the work day. Unless you can find a way to work from home, this will always be the case. They’re going to be happy every time you come through the door of course, but what do you do if you want to let your dog or cat know you’re thinking of them?

In the same way that you would shoot off a text to a friend or call your parents, PetChatz will allow you to communicate with your furry friends. This is a two-way live video feed that will connect you with home base whenever you need to say hello. Of course, giving your pet a little encouragement to come and sit for a while doesn’t hurt either.

Not only will this play a little tune to get your pet’s attention, but you’ll be able to talk, give them treats, and release a scent of your choosing. As this has motion and sound control, you can set it to let you know when they’re nearby. You’ll be able to check up on this through your computer, smartphone, or tablet. It is a good way to see how things are getting on at home, but it is a tad pricey at $349. Not only that, but this is only a working prototype at the moment. It should be noted that they plan to have a fully functional model by spring of 2014. If you are trying to train a pet, good luck keeping them from destroying this thing to get at the treats inside.
