Dog gadgets galore!!!

Do you know what that picture is? Well, its the newest of dog gadgets available to meet the exercise needs for your dog. the picture above is a doggie treadmill. That’s right!!! For $599.00, your pooch can get some extra exercise. According to Geoff Mott, president of PetGadgets.com, www.petgadgets.com, people have very busy lifestyles and cannot always accomodate the exercise needs of their dog. There are also pet owners who may not live in areas that are condusive to walking their dogs or they might own a high energy dog that needs a bit more exercise that what a standard “walk” delivers. Mott feels that the doggie treadmill should not be a replacement for the walk you take with your dog, but rather should supplement your regular exercise regime.

In addition to the doggie treadmill, there are other practical gadgets that help the dog owner and the dog. Again, consider your busy lifestyle. Wouldn’t it be great to know that if you were running late, or wanted to stop off for a drink with friends after work, your dog wouldn’t go hungry? Well how about the Le Bistro Electronic portion control feeder that can be programmed to release a certain amount of food at a certain time, so your pooch doesn’t miss feeding time? This convenient gadget goes for $50.00. If you have ever wondered what your dog is doing while you are away, get your own electronic eye by purchasing Panasonic’s Network Camera for $85.00. It is the pet version of the “Nanny cam”.

Well, if all of these gadgets are a bit too practical, don’t hesitate to shop for something fun….say a talking canvas bone for $21.00. The cool thing about this toy is that the owners record their own voices into the device…imagine what you would say to your dog???!!!! There are also retractable ball throwers and frisbees that light up. We had a glow-in-the-dark frisbee that was very cool and my dog loved chasing it at night. It seems that at www.petgadgets.com, there is something for everyone, dog and dog owner alike!!
