Having a pet is like having a child. As a pet parent, you need to feed her, bathe her, take her for walks, give her attention, and take her to the vet. But with a full-time job and a social life to maintain, taking care of a pet can be time-consuming and tiring. Fortunately, it’s 2019, a time when the fast evolution of technology makes your life easier. Here are X gadgets that you, a busy pet owner, will love.

It also lets you speak to your pet, toss treats, and take photos or videos.

This device, fashioned with a GPS tracker and activity monitor, attaches to your pet’s collar so you can locate her with your phone.

Arf Pets Automatic Feeder

Obesity isn’t a problem unique to humans. Pets can also become overweight or obese, if not given the right diet or if overfed.

Arf Pet’s feeding bowl allows you to control your food portions by releasing meals at a scheduled time.

Automatic Patio Pet Door

Often, your pet may want to go in and out of the house to run around the backyard. But often, you don’t want to get up for the 50th time to let your dog out. You consider installing a patio door, but is that really the best option? What if unwanted critters enter your home, like raccoons, squirrels, or possums? The Automatic Patio Pet Door is a motorized flap that opens automatically when it detects the sensor installed in your pet’s collar. It keeps the unwanted visitors out, but lets your pet in without your assistance.

Pet Zone Automatic Litter Box

It’s great that cats instinctively use the bathroom on their litter boxes, but what isn’t great is the odor it possesses when it has gone untended for too long. No one wants a smelly house. The Pet Zone Automatic Litter Box scoops up your cat’s smelly present and deposits it in a waste compartment that neutralizes odor. No smell, no problem!

Owning a pet comes with a lot of responsibility, but your life—and your pet’s life—will be much better with a few smart gadgets. It’s 2021. Time for an upgrade!
