Absolutely no one enjoys cleaning up the yard after their dog has left several presents for you.  It’s not just the manual labor.  You’re taking time to clean up dog poop, which isn’t exactly a fun task.  Well this gadget will at least keep you from having to crouch on the ground.  If it makes an obnoxious chore just a little bit easier, it might be worth the investment.

It has a vacuum that sucks up all of you pet’s droppings into a biodegradable waste bag.  It is completely cordless and even if it dies, it has a 6 foot long charging cord.  It’ll take a little while for it to run out of juice though, on a single charge it’ll work up to 150 times.  When you purchase the 120V system you’ll receive 10 of those bags and after you run out you can purchase more of them in quantities of 50 for $19.50 or 100 for $35.50.  You can purchase the Pet Pooch Power System itself for $99.50 through FrontGate.

The kit is an excellent concept that allows you to set up a training regime for your fish. It’s based on a trial and reward scheme, so it’s not much different from training any other animal. There’s an extremely detailed set of instructions and a DVD to help get you started, which is a good thing as there are over ten tricks you can teach your fish, including swimming through hoops and tunnels, slalom, even basketball and football! Once you’ve mastered all of them, who knows what you could get your fishy friends to do? If only there were a MENSA for fish…

At £24.99 each, we doubt anyone has achieved success with any of their finned friends. What do you think?

If you’re worried about keeping track of the care of your pet, this small device is meant to help you make sure your pet is receiving the care it needs.  It keeps track of everything from the simplest of tasks to the more complicated like letting you know the last time your pooch received medication.  Plus it is durable enough that it’ll be able to live through any conditions your dog might be in.

It hangs from your dog’s collar and is completely waterproof.  The durable tag is lightweight enough that it won’t weigh your dog down.  It will keep track of when your dog was last walked as well as fed.  It’d be great for anyone that has several dogs in their home or just want to make sure that the dog-sitter has all of the necessary information.  You can purchase one of these for $19.95.

If you’re tired of listening to your yappy dog, this collar will fix them.  Not in that shocking way that makes them twitch for a couple of hours.  No this one is nice enough it’ll give you a laugh and your pet loving significant other won’t scowl at you for being mean to the dog.  Instead of shocking them it sprays water right up their nose.  Well it’s nicer than the other way, no one said it was entirely nice.

It uses unscented water-based solution that’s hypoallergenic as well as ozone friendly.  I’m not entirely sure why they don’t just use water, but apparently they need to use a solution instead.  Probably so you’re forced to buy their unscented spray refills for $9.95 a piece.  That means if you have a particularly thick headed yappy dog you’re probably going to be shelling out that $10 on a regular basis.  The collar works with dogs 8lbs and up and is made of nylon.  In order to keep it powered it requires a 3V battery that’ll last up to 4 weeks.  You can purchase one for $49.95 through Hammacher Schlemmer.

Training dogs isn’t always easy, some dogs are easier than others.  However, either way it takes a great deal of work and dedication to accomplish anything with your pet.  With this device, hopefully you can make the training process a little more smooth for you.  This voice recorder was created in hopes that it would reinforce all that effort you put into training.  It uses both your own voice commands, as well as the option to use high frequency tones.

The tones can of course only be heard by your dog.  Whereas the voice recordings are just normal recordings of your commands.  It’d make things easier for other members of your family if the dog only listens to you.  With this they could get the dog to quit jumping all over them by pressing a button.  Whether or not it actually works is unknown, but it could be worth testing out.  You can purchase it for $27.69 from UX Sight.

There are those that really don’t feel the slightest need to pamper their pets.  They just let them do their own thing and feed them when necessary.  However, for the more committed bunch, you might want a gadget here or there to improve the life of your pet.  If you’re concerned about the air your pet breathes, now you can have a tiny gadget to solve even that problem.

This small air purifier can be worn directly on the pet.  To be specific it clings to their collar, making sure the air around them is clean.  It’ll keep your cat or dog from dealing with airborne allergens, smoke, viruses, dust, germs toxic chemical fumes, mold, pet dander and even diminishes pet odor.  It even comes with different scents that are meant to relax, calm and energize your pet.  It’s powered by 2 AAA batteries.  You can purchase one for $17.20 through UXSight.

Water cascades from the side of the bowl – creating the illusion of an aquarium that’s perilously losing water – into the koi goldfish base, and back into the aquarium. A filter at the spout prevents daredevil fish from plunging over the falls. An integrated pump continuously cycles water through a sponge and charcoal filtration system and helps maintain the proper water level inside the aquarium. LED lights in the base cast a warm, colorful glow throughout the bowl. The five-gallon aquarium accommodates up to five fish. Includes artificial fish and plants, a fish net, cleaning brush, and fish food. Plugs into AC.

If you want something vastly different from the usual aquarium, the Spillarium is worth considering at $129.95 a pop, although don’t expect to rear a whole school of ornamental fish due to the limited space.

If you’ve ever watched the show, then you know how germ-phobic Monk is. I would imagine that for him to clean up dog leavings would be the ultimate torture.

The Sha-Poopie is a device that allows the user to get under the dog’s…tail as they are…bowel moving, and catch the crap before it becomes against the law.

Inventor Dan Shalhoub was inspired by the fact that he owns a dog, and he hated bending over to pick up the mess. He has a bad back, and noticed that most products that clean up after the dog are rather “after the fact”. He invented the Sha-Poopie as “preemptive, catch it in the act product”.

You may have also seen the Sha-Poopie on a television show called American Inventor that aired a few years ago. Dan Shalhoub did not win, but the judges noticed the odd resemblance between him and the aforementioned Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub).

There is a good reason for that. Dan and Tony are brothers. So I guess what we saw on that one Monk episode was a subliminal plug for the Sha-Poopie. Cute, Shalhoub boys, really cute.

You should be able to get the Sha-Poopie from the official site for about $24.95.

Because no matter how well trained your dog is, increasing Fido’s night-time visibility while you’re on your walk is a reliable way to keep him seen and safe.These are also great for attaching to yourself or your childrens’ rucksack for visibility at night. Once on, this LED keyring glows bright white or red, or will cycle through the colours if you choose the multi-coloured version. You can press the button a second time to set the dog safety light to flashing mode and increase your pet’s visibility even further. The stainless steel carabiner clips on securely to dog collars, or backpacks so won’t come off no matter how energetic you or your pooch are, and is water resistant for going on walks in all weathers.

Available in white or red LEDs, they will both retail for £7.95 each and are powered by a couple of 2016 3V batteries. Prevention is better than cure, that much I can say.

Those of you that enjoy carrying your precious pets around with you in public, instead of letting them walk, will enjoy this bag.  Especially if you’re a person that’s highly attached to your music.  It’ll let your pooch jump up and down within the bag to your favorite song.  If that’s not enough to make you carry the bag, it might help things along that the bag was given to last year’s Oscar attendees.

You can hook the bag up to your iPod, a plain old MP3 player or even your laptop.  Hopefully your dog won’t manage to chew through any cords though.  It would also be bad if your puppy decided to pee within the bag too, considering the hefty price tag.  Oddly they don’t mention if they’ve tried to protect the speakers from moisture of any kind.  At $175 a piece, it’d be nice to know this pet carrier is puppy proof.  You can purchase the bag through Anonymous Venice.

If we lived like our pet fish, then we would all live in studio apartments that would, at best, have more useless space. Now this aquarium is something that would give any fish bragging rights. I mean, I can just see a celebrity fish boasting about this “bowl” on a fish version of Cribs.

I mean, look at the thing! It’s like hamster trails designed for fish! This is definitely one place a fish would not mind sharing with other fish. If Gil, the Willem Dafoe fish from Finding Nemo, was in this castle of a fish tank, he never would have tried to escape. This is what Oscar should be living in when he got rich in Shark Tale. Yeah, not many people make references to the latter movie.

Do you those rich people who spend a lot of money on their pets? Consider this $6500 investment a diamond-studded collar for your fish. Yes, that’s is how much this fish tank (if you can even call it that) actually costs. Why shouldn’t fish get some of the rich-doting action that is usually reserved for dogs and cats?

Using and enjoying the feeder is a two step process. The first is to acquaint the hummingbirds with the feeder. We set an old can of paint on a small shelf on the side of the barn and slipped the feeder onto the can. It wasn’t long before the hummingbirds found it, and after a little searching, found the feeding station. (See the Longer Video for how this happened.) Then we let them get familiar with the feeder for a few days. Finally we set a chair next to the shelf, removed the feeder from the can, slipped it on and waited. One never forgets the first time a hummingbird suddenly arrives at the feeder right in front of your eyes. It is truly an awesome experience! (Definite adrenaline rush!) There you are, just sitting there, when WHOOSH a hummingbird jumps into your vision as if by magic! Definitely a treat.

Definitely a treat if you want to introduce your little ones to the wonderful world of nature and all that live in it, where the Wearable Hummingbird Feeder is currently going for $79.95 each.

Pets for some reason insist upon drinking from the toilet.  Perhaps the water is far better in there than what they find in their bowl.  Well if you would like to protect your pet from themselves, you can pick up this small gadget to help you out.  Since you can’t be around to see absolutely everything, you can attach this to the lid of the toilet.  Then if someone doesn’t put the lid down, you can still find out when your pet is up to no good.

It doesn’t actually scare them off or anything, that part is entirely up to you.  Instead anytime it senses someone approaching, the gadget will begin to flash and start beeping.  Then if you know that’s not a person near the toilet, you can go and run off your dog or cat.  The bad part about this is if you have a few people in the household all that beeping is not going to be enjoyable.  If you have a small household though, it could work out just fine.  It has a range of 28” and can be purchased for $24.95 from Solutions.

I can’t say that I’ve ever had much of an issue with my dog eating too little.  He always seems more than happy to eat anything and everything he can.  At times he even manages to eat things that most would not consider edible.  However, if you’re having issues with your dog not eating enough and need them to gain some weight, this would be one way to do that.  It’ll not only help them finish their food, but give them something a little extra at the end of their meal.

After your dog has managed to eat every last bit of their food, they’ll discover a small surprise at the bottom of the bowl.  It has a special chamber that hides a treat at the bottom of the bowl.  The bowl itself is made out of plastic and comes in two different sizes.  You can purchase it in either a small size or just the regular size.  The regular size will cost you $14.98 and the smaller is slightly cheaper at $11.98.  You can find these bowls through Taylor Gifts.

Most dog collars have shiny metal dog tags listing where the dog comes from and lets whoever know that’s found him that they are up to date on their shots.  This one lets people know in a slightly different way.  Instead of reading something, it tells it out loud.  Which does seem a little silly, but it does even more than that.  It also makes sure to keep your dog pest free and comfortable.

The collar uses safe ultrasonic pulses that will repel any fleas from attaching themselves to your dog.  It’s an odd way to get rid of fleas, but if it works then it’d save you money on having to apply something on a regular basis.  The message you’ll record yourself and you can give any of the information necessary to help someone return your pet to you.  It doesn’t state how long of a message you leave, but you’ll have enough room for basic info.  When you purchase this the batteries are included and it will cost you $24.99.

I know when I leave my dog alone for a while, I would feel better if he was occupied by playing with this toy rather than chewing up my garbage. This is assuming that I have nothing better to do on my vacation than operate this toy on the Internet.

Not only is this camera/toy mobile by remote control through the Internet, but the ball that it bears is also remote control as well. In fact, the ball can be charged in the mobile camera itself. I’m not certain how the robot can be charged, or if it can be charged from a distance.

This device is fitted with infrared lenses so that you can see your pet in the dark. The lenses also have covers so your pet’s drool won’t damage the electric peepers. The only question I have is: what happens when your pet tips it over?

Well, the PetCare robot is only a concept for now, but personally, it really is a step in the right direction for pet care from a distance.
