21ST CENTURY SOLUTIONS TO THE CHALLENGE OF PROPERLY TECHOUTFITTING FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS EDITED

BY MATT SCANLON

Pet’s Eye View Digital Camera
Ever wonder what your furry pal sees all day long? Find out with this collar mountable camera that features an automatic timer that snaps photos at single , five , or 15 minute intervals from a pet’s perspective. Features a built in lithium ion rechargeable battery. $50

Tee Pee Hound Lounge
If your doggo loves to go camping, give him or her that feeling of adventure all the time with this hideaway. Suitable for up to medium sized dogs, it features a removable fleece covered sleeping pad for chilly nights out on the trail. $245

Mija Dog Bed
If Fido lives a more luxurious life than you, perhaps he would prefer this place of repose made with a 10 mm thick acrylic faux suede topper filled with shredded memory foam. It’s comfy for humans as well…if only they made one big enough. $1,370

Rovio
Need to keep tabs on the pets, home, or kids while you’re away? This Wi Fi enabled mobile web cam lets users see, hear, and interact with its surroundings via an online interface. Rovio will also tell you when it’s time to charge up, and returns to the charging station with one click. $240

Bach Rescue Remedy
We’re always suspicious of stuff like this, but there are an awful lot of five star user reviews for it to be a total hoax. Based on the Bach Flower Remedies created in the 1930s by English surgeon Dr. Edward Bach, this combines five flower essences; mix in some drops to a glass of water or drop a couple directly onto the tongue. It’s a great way to naturally calm down anxious furry pals. $10

Nuzzle GPS Pet Collar
Even indoor pets escape from time to time. Ensure you’ll be able to track yours down with this waterproof add on for any existing collar one that uses a combination of GPS positioning and cellular connectivity to alert should a furry friend wander outside a designated area. It also monitors ambient temperature and has impact detection. Best of all, there’s no monthly fee, which means more money for toys and treats. $160
