"The owners of pets and pets are also in the era of digital and technological innovations. Many tools and services improve the quality of life and the health of your little companions. Kibble distributors, activity trackers, connected litter boxes and even sports tools, your pets now benefit from the best in technology. "
New technologies are invading all areas of our lives. And pets are not to be outdone. Many solutions have emerged to improve their health and quality of life on a daily basis. Discover the main trends of these innovations.
No need to travel thanks to online veterinarians
No more making appointments at impossible times. No need to hurry through the city to consult your cat or dog. Veterinarians are the first to invest in new technologies.
Remote connection services like IllicoVeto allow you to communicate with a specialist from your home. They help you take stock of your pets' health or deal with a possible emergency in record time. These services are intended to be a complement to veterinary clinics. They can be reached at any time of the day and night to reassure you. They can also help you determine the severity of an injury or illness. However, beware, the profession of veterinarian absolutely requires a face-to-face consultation of the animal in order to establish an accurate diagnosis. If the symptoms are severe, you will still need to go to the office to determine the cause of the discomfort of your dog, cat or new pets.
Controlled food thanks to kibble distributors
"We are what we eat". If this adage was invented for humans, it adapts perfectly to animals. And these, dogs in particular, sometimes tend to be famous gluttons. They swallow anything during their walks and devour their bowls. Outside, apart from keeping them on a leash, it is not easy to control what they eat. At home, however, there are equipment to better control the meal. This is the automatic and connected kibble dispenser.
The basic operation is relatively simple: the device has a kibble and a bowl. He regularly pours a dose of food. It can be programmed to serve at regular intervals. Today, however, these distributors can go much further. Indeed, they are now connected to the internet and can be controlled remotely by Smartphone, for example. This allows you to completely change the feeding rhythms of your pets. They will certainly brighten up their day by offering them a few small croquettes. They can even go further by proposing a health check-up for your animals and adapt their diet as appropriate. This is as follows: a balance positioned in front of the distributor follows the evolution of the weight of your animal. The quantities of croquettes poured are then adapted so that your companion keeps his line permanently.
Activity trackers for pets
You've surely heard of it: for a few years now, activity trackers have been fashionable objects.
Imagine that the animals are not outdone. These small sensors now even exist for our furry animals. They come in the form of a small capsule to be simply attached to the collar of the dog or cat. It then records your pet's daily activity by capturing its number of steps. From this, he can also determine the number of calories expended. The information is sent back to a mobile application allowing you to schedule your animal's walks to maintain a good level of exercise. The most advanced also include a GPS tag allowing, on the one hand, to have more precision in tracking activity. This option also offers you a way to identify your pet if it gets lost.
Connected litter boxes
On the other side of the chain, there are also connected litter boxes. They allow you to take measurements each time your cat goes there. A scale under the device detects the presence of the feline and also measures the weight of its stool! Behind, an application thus makes it possible to follow its habits and its food. In the event of abrupt changes in the rhythm of life of your pet, the litter can alert you. Finally, these tools have sensors that can even tell you when it's time to change the litter box.
