Here Is My List Of The Top 10 Tech Gadgets Your Dog Will Pant Over This Christmas

1.  ​The Tractive GPS Pet Tracker

christmas gifts for dogs

​It's not so long ago that pet tracking devices were a thing of the past.

But, thankfully, not anymore.

Pet tracking devices have been created to give you, the pet owner, complete peace of mind; and the Tractive GPS Pet Tracker is one of my all time favourites.

What Stands Out About The Tractive GPS Pet Tracker​

​You can create a virtual fence with a safe zone.

It comes with Tractive Live Tracking via your smartphone or web browser.

You can manage your pet's data and medical information with ease.

You can turn on a light or sound an audible beep on your dog's collar when you are searching for them.

It is a popular tracking device for use at home, when hiking and also when travelling.

It works in more than 80 countries.

​Click here to read my in depth review of the Tractive GPS Pet Tracker

​2.  iFetch

christmas gifts for dogs

​You know what dogs are like.

They want you to throw the ball to them......again, and again, and again, and again.

And then some more :).

Is your dog a fetching fantatic?

If so, you -- and your dog -- are going to love this.

​Let me introduce you to the interactive on demand launcher called, quite aptly, iFetch.

What Stands Out About iFetch​

Whether you're away at work or at home, your little furball will be able to play ball all by themselves.

The iFetch can be used by your dog both inside and out and has become a ball-fetching global phenomenon.

​iFetch Video Demonstration

​3. Petnet SmartFeeder - Automatic Pet Feeder For Both Dogs & Cats

christmas gifts for dogs

​The Petnet SmartFeeder has been created to help you keep your dog healthy and happy.

It works by letting you manage your pet's feeding times, portion sizes and much more.

The Petnet App allows you to actually control the feeding of your dog (or cat) straight from your smartphone.

Pet owners love the fact that no matter where they are, day or night, they always know that their pet is being fed :).

What Stands Out About The Petnet SmartFeeder​

It's quite a clever gadget as it actually measures the right portion of food for your dog according to its age, weight and level of activity.

It has a very sleek, modern design and you'll never have to worry about being woken by your hungry dog (or cat).

You'll also have great peace of mind when you're at work or away for the weekend.

Petnet SmartFeeder Video Demonstration

4. Petzi Treat Cam Pet Camera & Treat Dispenser​

christmas gifts for dogs

​The Petzi Treat Cam is an extremely highly rated remote camera and treat dispenser in one.

This allows you to stay connected with your dog when you're away from home via your Smartphone.

What Stands Out About The Petzi Treat Cam ​

It features a wide angled camera with night vision and high quality audio.

The Petzi Treat Cam will let you see, speak, snap and treat your pet remotely whenever you like.

It's also a fantastic opportunity to train your dog in many ways...

For example, it's a great way to reward good behaviour.

It's also a great way to alleviate any anxiety your dog feels when you are away from home.

And of course you can scold them as soon as you see them doing the wrong thing.

You can read my indepth Petzi Treat Cam review here.

Petzi Treat Cam Video Demonstration

​5.  Go-Go Dog Pals

christmas gifts for dogs

​Go-Go dog pals is the next gen in pet tech toy and takes dog exercising to a whole new level.

It operates via remote control.

You hold the control, and steer the Go-Go Dog Pal wherever you want it to go.

What Stands Out About Go-Go Dog Pals​

The Go-Go Dog Pal will go wherever you direct it to and it has the speed to stay ahead of your dog with ease.

It's very durable and stable and also handles bumps well.

If you get tired running around with your dog or just aren't able to do it like you used to, your dog will love this pet tech gadget.

Go-Go Dog Pal Video Demonstration

​6. PetZen DogTread

christmas gifts for dogs

​Yes, this is a treadmill designed specifically for dogs.

You may wonder why would a dog need a treadmill?

Here are some reasons.

Some dogs are literally bursting with energy, day and night.

They crave exercise and you just can't give them the amount they need.

A treadmill will allow them to burn off some steam.

Physical rehabilitation is another reason why a dog treadmill can be useful, just like when someone has an operation and has to attend rehab themselves to improve their mobility and physical strength after some kind of injury or surgery.

Another factor is time.

In this day and age we all seem so time poor; whether it's longer work hours or too many chores to do, or just not enough hours in the day.

The extra treadmill exercise can offer assistance in this regard.

Let's face it, we humans and dogs could do with way more exercise than we are getting.

​A treadmill should never replace being outside, listening to the sounds of nature, smelling the beautiful outdoors and breathing fresh air.

However, if your dog needs more than you can physically give him then consider this quality treadmill created especially for dogs.

The way a dog thinks, learns and moves has all been carefully taken into account and the running or walking platform will help the formation of a proper gait in your dog.

Sometimes your health can significantly affect what exercise and activities you can do with your dog...

...or perhaps your dog is just too active for its own good and no amount of activity is every enough.

Then the whisper-quiet DogTread could be for you.

What Stands Out About The DogTread​

As I've indicated, it's very quiet.

It's both portable and space-saving.

It's also recommended by top veterinarians and dog trainers.

As a bonus, this could be a real saving grace for when you're at work because your dog will be too relaxed to get into any mischief :).

As soon as one dog hears "Let's go treadmill" his dog licks his chops with glee and you can't get him off his 30 minute daily workout.

7. Designer Pet Eatery In-Wall Pet Bowl​

christmas gifts for dogs

​Hate the appearance of your dog's food and water bowl?

Then this little gem could be for you.

The Designer Pet Eatery In-Wall Pet Bowl can be mounted safely onto your wall or even elevated to a specific height.

What Stands Out About The Designer Pet Eatery In-Wall Pet Bowl​

Installation is a breeze.

Many dogs prefer to have their food and water bowls raised off the floor.

This makes clean up a breeze and there's a very helpful installation video on Youtube.

Customer service is also top notch.

Designer Pet Eatery In-Wall Pet Bowl Video Demonstration

8. Austin Air Systems Pet Machine​

christmas gifts for dogs

​Let's face it, if you've got a dog (or cat) as soon as someone walks into your house they can probably smell them.

A home with a pet just has an odour, am I right?

That's the reason why this air purifier pet machine has been created.

There are many health benefits for using this air purifier and the cleaner air that results:

Sounder sleep, less snoring, stop sneezing, reduction in allergies and also asthma attacks.

If you're a health conscious family you will love this.

Both harmless and potentially harmful pet odours and particles are quietly removed while your home smells fresh and clean at all times.It also removes harmful viruses and bacteria and comes with an impressive 5 year warranty.

Austin Air Pet Machine Video Demonstration

​9. Fitbark Dog Activity Monitor

christmas gifts for dogs

​Fitbark is a small sensor that will monitor your dog's every day activities and regular sleep patterns.

The more active your dog is the more BarkPoints it will receive :).

What Stands Out About The FitBark Dog Activity Monitor​

This is the new pet tech way to keep your dog healthy.

There's an added benefit.

Sometimes our furry loved ones aren't feeling well but we humans are none the wiser.

If you've got something like the Fitbark Activity Monitor on your dog you'll be able to see very quickly if there's a big change to their behaviour pattern and you'll be able to get them checked on right away.

You'll receive an alert along the lines of "Ralph is resting more than normal, is she okay?"

Your vet will also love it as you'll be able to share your dog's information with them so they can keep a watchful eye on your dog too.

The device and app are also highly rated.

FitBark Dog Activity Monitor Video Demonstration

​10. Five Star Pet Fountain - Oxygenated & Filtered

christmas gifts for dogs

​Every organ in your dog's body requires water to function.

Your dog will love fresh flowing, well oxygenated water at their paw-tips.  

What Stands Out About The Five Star Pet Fountain

This will encourage them to drink more water which is great for them.

Better tasting filtered water can reduce dehydration and urinary tract infections.

This pet water fountain is super quiet with three pools of water and two waterfalls.

It's also easy to setup, easy to refill and you'll love no mess.

Five Star Pet Fountain Video Demonstration

​11. The Refined Canine's Outdoor Dog Chaise Lounger

christmas gifts for dogs

Yes, there's an 11 though, strictly speaking, this is not a tech gadget but it sure looks like something a dog would love, what do you think?

What Stands Out About The Refined Canine's Outdoor Dog Chaise Lounger

This dog chaise lounger is style, style, style personified.

It's made of quality constructed poly rattan.

The outdoor cushion can be washed in the machine.

The canopy can help keep the heat and sun off your pampered pooch.

Phew, you made it to the end.  Congratulations.  What did you think of my list of tech gift ideas for dogs this Christmas?  If you liked it and some of the Christmas gift suggestions on it, feel free to share it with your friends and loved ones on Facebook :).

Best Pet Camera Reviews

By

Welcome To My Pet Camera Reviews

If you have a pet chances are you miss them when you are away at work, on vacation, or just going about your day to day affairs.

Goodness knows that your dog or cat pines for you when you aren't near.

Now that can all become a thing of the past with the creation of pet cameras :).

Not only will a pet camera allow you to connect with your pet and actually see what it's doing when you are not home via the camera...

...but the best pet cameras will also allow you to interact with them in some way such as

Playing a game of laser pointing tag with them

Giving them a treat

Emitting a calming scent​

The best pet cameras also have their own little communities so you'll be able to connect with other people using the same pet tech.

This means adding a pet camera to your home adds to your social life as well :).

Pet cameras are not just about pet viewing.

Do you have a destructive pooch at home?

If so, you'll love the fact that you'll be able to tell them off when they're about to tear up your favourite cushion :).

Do you work away from home for extended periods of time...

....or do you go away on vacation leaving someone dog or catsitting your pet?

A pet camera will allow you to connect with your pet though you are far away.

You'll love being able to see them -- in realtime -- with just the press of a button on your Smartphone.

While I created my resource site as a result of losing a beloved pet a few years ago, I soon came to realise that there are actually a lot of wonderful pet gadgets that have been specifically created to bring us closer to our pets, to live more in harmony with one another, and to have much more fun with our pets in our very, very busy lives.

My research into pet cameras is VERY in depth.

In fact, it takes me many days to thoroughly review just one pet camera.

My goal is to tell you absolutely everything there is to know about a particular pet camera, its best features, what works well, what doesn't work well or could be improved on.

If I don't like something about it I'll tell you.

But there's much more to it...

I might think it's the best pet camera on the planet...but it might not be the right choice for you and your pet.

So I will also let you know very early on in all my pet camera reviews who it's best suited for and if that's not you, which pet camera would suit you and your pet better.

One pet camera may be perfect for your neighbour but not for you, so it's important you find that out as soon as possible as you digest my careful research.

A lot of time is spent visiting the websites of pet camera manufacturers and going through every manual in extreme detail.

More time is also spent reading what pet camera owners love about a particular product and what definitely needs improvement.

This allows me to give you the most accurate rating possible.

It's also my aim by the time you read my summary that you know exactly which pet camera is right for you today.

I have a lot of questions that I ask as I draft each pet camera review to ensure that you have ALL the information you need.

Each pet camera review and investigation is ready for publishing only when all my questions have been answered.

I want you to be 100% confident that the pet camera that you choose today is 100% the right one for both you and your pet.

As the pet camera market expands I'll continue to add more and more pet camera reviews and also update my existing reviews so that you can be confident that you have the very latest information at your fingertips.

I look forward to helping you however I can today and please feel free to ask me any questions.

Tractive Versus Tagg Pet Tracker Comparison – Winner Inside

By

Tractive GPS Pet Tracker Goes Head To Head With Tagg Pet GPS Plus

Tractive GPS Pet Tracker versus Tagg Pet GPS Plus

I’m going to answer this for you. I’ll provide you with an overview of not just the features offered by each, but an expert’s view on the overall benefits to the consumer.

Tractive GPS Pet Tracker and Tagg Pet GPS Plus are both within the top 3 of the best GPS pet trackers available today, but one is categorically better than the other. I’m going to explain why this is in a moment.

First, let’s talk about what makes them great individually. We’ll use this as our basis of comparison so that you can easily see for yourself which one is a better deal. It’ll also help you discover which one might be a better fit for you and your own pets.

check out the new model!​

New Tagg model now available, take a look at the review right here......

Whistle 3 GPS Pet Tracker Review

​

How Do You Define the Best GPS Pet Tracker Out There?

There a few important features that we must cover. While we’ll dig into many of the features that both Tagg GPS Plus and Tractive pet tracker offer, there are some more important aspects we’ll use to guide us through this comparison.

These are listed below.

tractive gps pet tracker versus tagg pet gps plus

Tagg Pet GPS Plus

First, we’ll look at how the tracker is attached. Tagg pet tracker is quite simple to attach and is very lightweight. It goes right onto the collar of your pet, and is quite comfortable to carry and lightweight. Tagg ranks high in this area.

Tractive GPS is even smaller and just as easy to attach. It ranks ever higher than Tagg, due to the fact that it is suitable for even smaller animals than cats, as long as they weigh at least nine pounds. A clear winner in this category with quite a few cat owners switching from Tagg to Tractive.

Next, we need to understand the durability of the product. Just because a tracker is easy for a dog to wear, does not necessarily mean that it’s suitable. We’ll look at areas such as water submergibility and their ability to withstand adverse temperatures.

Let’s take a look now.

Tagg Pet GPS Plus is great for very active pets. It’s also waterproof and submersible, but its manual clearly suggests not leaving it under water for longer periods of time.

How about Tractive GPS Pet Tracker?

waterproof pet tracker

Tractive is both water and swim-proof. It’s incredibly durable, and can stay under water as long as your pet chooses. The line between the two is slim, but Tractive again comes in first.

What’s the next area?

It’s compatibility. You need to know whether or not your pet tracker actually works with the electronic device(s) that you use. Let’s say, for example, that you use an Apple smartphone. Well, if the pet tracker company has put considerable investment into an app that only works with Android smartphones, it may not be a wise choice to select this tracker for your pet.

That’s not all.

Tractive GPS How It Works

The pet tracker company may not offer an app at all. If you do not own a PC, it may be impossible for you to actually track your pet, making the tracker a useless investment.

Let’s explore this area now in more detail.

Both Tagg and Tractive offer iOS, Android as well as web service. There is no clear winner here so far, although one is more costly than the other. While Tractive offers monthly service for only a few dollars per month, Tagg offers the same service for a little extra per year. However, it is worth noting that there have been numerous comments by Tagg users about the app requiring an update.

Tagg does have a discount option that doesn’t offer as many features, but due to the Tractive app seeming more reliable, once again Tractive wins.

What we’re going to do now is look at the pros and cons of each tracker, and then compare the overall score of each. This way, we truly know which one offers the better value.

Let’s begin now.

The Pros and Cons of Tagg Pet GPS Plus

First, without a doubt, it is a fan favorite. Out of all of the products on Amazon.com, it’s currently rated as #1 in cat collars and cat ID tags. This does not mean, however, that it’s the best overall pet tracker, or even the best cat collar. It simply means they deliver a solid product, and thus have a customer base who comes back again and again to buy their stuff. Clearly it is a bestseller.

Let’s move on.

daily Tagg activity goal

Set Daily Tagg Activity Goals

Tagg offers data about your pet that you might not have access to through other trackers. This includes being able to check your pet’s health and activity levels, so you’re always aware if something’s wrong or needs to be checked out.

You’ve also got access to temperature readings. This is quite a valuable feature because your pet can become extremely uncomfortable or even endangered under some temperature conditions and with Tagg you will get alerted when their surrounding temperature is too hot or too cold.

Here’s what’s more.

It’s also intuitive and durable. The battery will last slightly longer, but it also has a bunch of battery-saving options that will in no way affect your service. Not only that but at the time of writing you get your first month free.

Now for the cons.

First and foremost, it only works in the US, which is a great limiting factor even if you’re a US citizen who enjoys to travel with your pets. There are also some greater flaws when looked at collectively.

The actual tracking is made a bit more difficult when compared to Tractive. For example, the Tagg device does not emit a sound or light when you are searching for your pet which can be of valuable assistance. Comments have been made of it producing inaccurate tracking information.

There are some other serious flaws we should talk about.

For one, this company doesn’t seem to offer the best customer support which I experienced firsthand. From what many customers believe to be an out-of-date app to poor packaging, there seems to be a lot of work that needs to be done to complement Tagg’s benefits.

Here’s an example.

I requested an answer to a simple question when I was investigating the Tagg Pet Tracker which took 4 days to return a single sentence reply. This is definitely not a winning aspect for Tagg.

Pros and Cons – Tractive GPS Pet Tracker

Tractive is excellent at what it does. What’s further, there aren’t any major drawbacks which can take away from the overall benefits of using this tracker. Let’s explore some of the pros.

First, remember I mentioned that Tagg only works in the US. Well, Tractive works in over 80 countries so it’s perfect for taking with you should you travel with your pet to other countries.

tractive dog gps

Locate your pet when they leave the safe zone

Second, it’s a really smart and helpful device. You’re not only given an exact, up-to-the-moment location of your pets, but also a history of their most frequently visited places.

Now for the cons.

As we talked about before, Tractive is an incredibly durable product, but some consumers have argued that it loses its charge quickly, requiring frequent charges. This is not such a bad feature however, as the battery charges quickly. This will allow you to have access to tracking features when you need them, and charge them in those convenient periods when you don’t. There are also power saving features which offer a lot of middle ground.

That’s not all.

dual directional technology

Service can be slow. Tractive relies mostly on cellular networks (just like Tagg does), and cellular networks can sometimes lose reliability. Of course this is really not a flaw in Tractive’s integrity but one reason why pet owners choose radio frequency pet trackers.

​

Tractive GPS Pet Tracker Versus Tagg Pet GPS Plus - Who WINS?

It’s a tough decision. Both offer excellent features. Tagg clearly has a lot of extras that Tractive does not have. That being said, there are quite essential features which Tractive offers comprehensively that Tagg lags behind in.

Let’s discover which is truly better.

Being a pet owner, you know how important the safety of your pet is to you. So far, I believe Tractive has the advantage when it comes to being able to locate your pet in real time and also having superior gps app support as well as customer support.

Let’s compare extra features.

Tagg basically offers benefits that make it much more than a simple pet tracking device, but a way to be in touch with your pet as whole with activity tracking and a temperature sensor. If these features are important to you then Tagg is clearly the winner for you..

Here’s the bottom line.

Both are valuable products. Neither of them offer perfect customer support, but the industry is still expanding, allowing some leeway in this area. Ongoing complaints about the Tagg app as well as comments on poor packing and poor customer service that I also personally experienced for me make Tractive a clear winner in what seems to be a very close race. If Tagg can fix these things in the future, given its expanded features and benefits, I believe Tagg can take the lead. Only time will tell 🙂
