It’s very important to take care of a dog’s health and activity level for which too technology comes to your rescue.
Health of dogs is largely based on what food you give to your dog. Different breeds of dogs need different types and proportions of ingredients. You should discuss with your vet about which food is suitable to your particular dog. Purina Dry Dog Food for example contains real chicken as its number one ingredient. It provides a natural source of glucosamine that help promote healthy joints, dual defense antioxidant blend to help strengthen immune system and the tastiest, protein-rich, meaty, tender morsels that dogs love.
Although dogs shouldn’t be bathed daily, they should be given a good bath once in a while in order to keep away ticks and other pests, that live by sucking your poor dog’s blood and introduce disease-causing germs into it.
Here’s a technologically evolved dog bathing cleaner with 360° shower tool kit and bath sprayers.
Just as food, exercise is of utmost importance for your dog and the best exercise is taking him on a walk. But when your dog strongly pulls you when he wants to access the thing which is attracting him, it’s indeed testing for you. But now you can get hands-free leashes which are much easier on your body.
Look at this Hands-Free Waist Dog Leash. You have to tie it around your waist so your hands are free and won’t be pulled out. What’s more, it has a bag and bottle holder too!
Sleep is very important for everyone’s health, whether it’s a human or animal. For good sleep, the bed should be good and you can ensure if your dog’s bed is providing her the comfort she deserves or not with a smart pet bed. Smart pet beds can be temperature-controlled, can be connected to other tech devices and can respond to your pet’s needs.

Our modern cities are not always the safest environment of our pets. However, technology solves the biggest pet care problem i.e. their safety.
What started with microchipping pets to act as an identification tool has now developed into a full-fledged location tracking industry. Pet parents, especially dog parents, wish to be updated about the location of their pet.
A good example is the popular Patgoal Pet GPS Tracker which can be attached to your dog’s collar. It’s waterproof, dust-proof and fall-proof. This gadget allows you to have peace of mind that your beloved dog is monitored wherever he goes.
Electronic collars working as training aids have been around for some time. These tools make use of sonic waves, mild shocks and other methods to allow you to communicate with your dog when she shows behavior that is not desired. The best gadgets are being modernized and the old-fashioned shock-based dog training collars will soon become a history.
Communicating with our dogs is very important, because one of the reasons we bring dogs home is to stay connected with her always. Doggytech has offered a lot of products for a flawless communication with your pet.

They not only provide a view inside your home, but also offer so many things including two-way communication, motion alerts, attached laser toys and treat dispensers like this Furbo Dog Camera.
Toys are not only for playing. They are very important for pets’ health because they keep them active and mentally fit. What’s more, they are excellent to keep pets stimulated when their parents can’t be home.
