The best tech for those who are completely obsessed with their pets

Think of the Whistle Go Explore as a FitBit for both dogs and cats. The ultimate health and location tracker for pets, the Whistle Go Explore has the ability to accurately track your companion in real time, as well as monitor their daily health through the Whistle companion app (average activity minutes, distance traveled, calories burned, and hours of rest). 

It's a highly durable device — almost completely waterproof, with a long-lasting battery that can supposedly work for up to 20 days on a full charge. It also boasts other features, like a night light, food calculator, and tele-vet access.

The Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty XL lets you take your aversion to vacuuming to the next level by employing a self-emptying function that keeps you from having to get your hands dirty (literally). The self-emptying base that comes with the device — which also doubles as the vacuum's charging station — can hold up to 30 days of debris, basically eliminating the need for you to get near any dust bunnies for a whole month. 

The Shark also does a pretty good job when it comes to suction, effortlessly picking up crumbs, hair, and more from deep within carpets. A self-cleaning brush roll keeps hair from getting wrapped around and gumming up the works. More great features include smart home mapping over time, voice commands via smartphone or smart speaker, and a handy "recharge and resume" function. If you want to do the least amount of work possible, this might be the robot vacuum for you. 

If you've ever scrolled through an Amazon page, you may have already become familiar with this little contraption. The Furbo Pet Camera can show you exactly what your pet is doing in real time when you're away, and also allows you to reward them with a handy treat tosser for good behavior, to calm them down, or just because you want to.

Unlike typical home monitoring systems that send you basic motion and sound notifications, Furbo's smart alerts only notify you of pet-related events like barking and erratic movement. The built-in 1080p night vision camera lets you livestream video so you can tune in day and night through the Furbo companion app. Best of all, it works with Amazon Alexa, so you can say something like "Alexa, ask Furbo to toss a treat every hour," and let the robots do their thing.

The iFetch automatic ball launcher will help you play fetch with your dog without you having to lift a finger. After your pet places the tiny blue tennis ball into the top of the iFetch machine, this interactive dog toy will toss it across the room or yard at 10-, 20-, and 30-feet intervals. The top of the iFetch device is tilted away from the launching hole to encourage your pet to stand behind the machine for safety. It works with a power cord or six C-cell batteries, so you can use it both indoors or outdoors. It even comes with a training guide to help you teach your furry friend how to use the machine without your assistance.

Bath time can be a great opportunity to bond with your pet. No, we aren't suggesting you drag your pup in with you next time you need a shower. But we are saying that you should use AquaPaw the next time your pet needs a bath.

Aquapaw is a wearable sprayer and scrubber you can turn on and off by squeezing your hand, so you have total control of the water flow. It can be used inside by attaching it to your shower head, or you can use it outside with a water hose. The water pressure is high enough to penetrate fur, but low enough to still be comfortable. 

Great for single or multi-pet homes, the PetSafe Healthy Pet Simply Feed allows you to program up to 12 different daily meals, ranging in size from one-eighth of a cup to four cups. The large capacity hopper holds up to 24 cups of food at a time, which should last most pets quite a while before needing to be refilled. 

One standout feature that pet owners will love is the slow-feed option, which dispenses your cat’s food over a period of 15 minutes — this helps prevent your pet from eating too fast and causing digestive issues down the line. There’s also an immediate feed button that allows you to give your pet a little nibble in between their regularly scheduled mealtimes.

Everyone loves their pet. But everyone hates their litter box. The PetSafe ScoopFree is a virtually touch-free, leave-it-and-don't-worry-about-it pet poop cleaning system. After your cat does their business, the included crystals absorb some of the moisture and dry out the solid waste. Then, 20 minutes after your cat leaves, sensors activate the stainless steel cleaning rig, raking the waste into a covered trap so you don't have to touch it — or smell it — ever. 

If you have a restless pup, try the iCalmDog portable speaker — a multi-sensory approach to helping your dog chill out. The speaker plays music that's been found to ease dogs' anxiety. This bundle includes the Bluetooth speaker, as well as an SD sound card with hours of anti-stress tunes. It has a 24-hour battery life, as well as auto-repeating for continuous play. iCalmDog is a part of the iCalmPet suite of sound solutions for pet anxiety — check out iCalmCat if you have feline you'd like to help mellow out. 

The Platinum Pet Fountain provides 168 ounces of fresh flowing water and is great for pets of all sizes. The free-falling stream aerates your pet's drinking water with oxygen and a replaceable filter helps to remove bad tastes and odors for fresher tasting water. 

It is designed with a receiving ramp that reduces splash and an adjustable flow control that allows you to increase or decrease how much water your pet gets. The large built-in reservoir increases capacity and requires less refilling, meaning more water for your pet and less work for you.
