Make bath time for your dog less ruff with Aquapaw

If you’re a dog owner, one thing you probably dread is giving your furry friend a bath. Whether using the cup method in the bathtub or using the high-pressure garden hose outside it’s never an easy task and unless your dog loves water (mine does not) it’s not usually fun for them either. Aquapaw to the rescue.

Aquapaw is a wearable sprayer slash scrubber that you can turn on or off just by making a fist, giving you a free hand to better control your dog while the other does the scrubbing and rinsing. It has little rubber scrubbers that are soothing to your dog and the spraying power is more gentle than that of a typical garden hose yet more effective than a cup bath. Because you wear it on one hand like a glove Aquapaw lets you wash your dog in the same way that you would pet them. 

Included quick-release adaptors let you easily attach Aquapaw’s flexible 8′ hose to either a shower head or garden hose, so, you can bath your dog indoors or out.

The Aquapaw pet bathing tool is $24.95 and available at The Grommet.

Petcube now allows long-distance relationships with our pets

In 2013, the Gadgeteer introduced the Petcube to the world in the following news post:

Your pet doesn’t have to be lonely when he’s home alone

Now, in 2017, we are introducing the new and improved Petcube Bites for modern and busy pet owners’ homes. The concept is the same– to be able to give our pets love and attention even when our hectic lives are hogging it all, forcing us to be away from our homes. This version of the Petcube contains an advanced camera with 1080p HD video, 138॰ degree wide-angle view, night vision, and 3x digital zoom. Now you’ll be able to see the look on your pup’s face clearly when you call him a “good boy”! 

The Putcube’s most entertaining upgrade is its treat-flinger. You heard me… TREAT-FLINGER! Although a variety of treats are compatible with this gadget, each camera comes with a Wellness Petite Dog Treats sample when ordered from Amazon. You’ll never run out of treats because re-ordering is easy with Amazon Dash Replenishment right from the Petcube App. Even if you are present in the smart-home I know you all have… you can simply ask your Amazon Alexa to treat your pet or re-order treats since the two devices are harmoniously compatible. 

With Petcube Care, the video cloud recording service that stores video history, your Petcube will also act as a security camera; protecting your home at all hours. It has built-in motion and sound detection, and you can snapshot of the last 4 hours of activity for free, or you can subscribe for optional plans. Everyone starts with a free trial to Petcube Care initially.

Begin your long-distance relationship with your pets by ordering your Petcube from Amazon for $249.00 now!

Want a pet but are always on the go? Sony reintroduces the AIBO

I remember back in 1989 when Sony introduced the first AIBO (Artificial Intelligence Robot) to the world, I thought wow I wish I could get one of those. Sadly after about six years and several iterations of the AIBO Sony discontinued the manufacturing of the AIBO. If you missed your chance to get an AIBO during the 90s and 2000s, Sony has announced the reintroduction of the AIBO. The new AIBO has a refined look from the older model but still functions on the same premise of learning through interaction with its owners. The new AIBO model ERS-1000 has a 64bit Quad-Core CPU, OLED eyes, 4 microphones and 2 cameras, it is also cute. The new AIBO is scheduled to be released January 11, 2018, for a price of approximately $1745.85 (¥198000) and you will need a basic 3-year service plan (this is used to update and grow the AIBO) that will cost approximately $793.57 (¥90000). If you want to check out this new AIBO hop on over to the AIBO Sony website.

Dog walking is made easier with the hands-free Lishinu dog leash

Your pooch needs daily exercise just like you do, but walking your dog with a traditional leash means not being able to use one of your hands. The Lishinu dog leash has been designed to allow for hands-free use, making it much more convenient for both you and your dog.

The Lishinu leash can be held in your hand like a regular leash, or you can put it around your wrist so that your hand is free to do and hold other things.

The leash also features a retractable lead, an auto-lock mechanism that helps with training, a quick safety release, and more.

You can read more about the Lishinu dog leash at lishinu.com and you can order one for $24.99 from Amazon.
