Cats and dogs love to play, but pet owners can’t always be home to do that with them because of other commitments, including work and travel.
PlayDate is a remote-controlled ball toy that engages dogs and cats, and records HD video of them playing with it. The pet owner controls the interactive camera remotely from anywhere, via an app on Android and iOS mobile devices. Pet owners can hear their pets through a microphone in the ball and also speak to the pets through a speaker in the ball.
Giving dogs an opportunity to exercise helps to keep them healthy and trim. While this is something that owner and pet can do together, on those occasions when Fido’s alone, he can also be motivated to do it himself with dog toys such as the Odin. And dogs are often best motivated with treats. This toy comes with built in compartments that allow owners to hide the treats, creating a situation whereby their canine pal must push, paw, and sniff their way to enjoyment. This toy seems like one that can grow with one’s pet in that it is modular, and designed with the intent of additional pieces for the future if proper backing can be obtained. For a solution to pets who tend toward sneaking away with their treats, owners might like to check out the Pawda GPS tracking device. This campaign seeks to raise $25,000 by November 13. Early bird backers can get one toy for $25 with an estimated delivery of April 2015.
Roast chicken, beef, barbecue, and even honey bacon are foods that many dogs enjoy. So Schnuzzle has taken these savory scents and combined them with colorful and interestingly shaped dog toys. Since the parts are interchangeable, new toys can be created for the family’s best friend, and the scent disks can also be swapped and replaced so that toys seem to offer a new experience each time dogs enjoy them. Presently, only the roast chicken scent is available, but the others are in the making as backers support this campaign. For $30 AUD backers get one complete product with some interchangeable chew parts and an expected delivery of April 2015.
