You're probably flummoxed by what to buy your furry friends for the holidays -- so we've done the searching for you.

As we conduct more and more of our lives on the Internet, entrepreneurs have stepped in to help maintain our relationships with our pets online. The Wi-Fi-enabled Petcube lets you play with your pet via your computer, directing a laser pointer and sending encouragement while you and your pet are apart.

The GoPro is increasingly popular for offering voyeuristic peeks into more adventurous worlds. Now you can indulge that curiosity closer to home by attaching a GoPro to a harness, and then to your dog, to see the world through her eyes. You can then share your canine's videos on social media, satisfying your Internet friends' insatiable appetite for cute animal behavior.

Dogs aren't immune from the 'quantified self' trend either. The Whistle activity monitor tracks your dog's daily activity, so you can monitor his health more effectively, and verify that a sitter or walker is giving your darling the exercise he needs.

Check out our gallery of innovative gifts, above, to keep your furry friends healthy, happy and safe in 2015.
