Snooper helps find your lost dog
On Christmas Day, I had a dog disappear on us, prompting me to spend most of my holiday putting up “have you seen this dog?” notices all over the neighborhood. Notices which did absolutely no good whatsoever (the woman who found him called the number on his tag two days later). After he left us to go to that great puppy farm in the sky, we got another dog who proved to be every bit the escape artist as his predecessor. So, believe me when I tell you that a small GPS tag like the SNOOPER PET TRACKER GPSS is of great interest to me and every other dog owner who’s spent many a late night driving around neighborhoods whistling like a crazy person.

The High Voltage Pet Brush kills anything attached to your pet
Why stop with electric shock collars? Now you can electrocute your pets while you brush them. Alright, so it probably won’t electrocute them, but it’s actually listed as a High Voltage Pet Brush. It would take some serious faith in technology for any pet owner to feel comfortable enough to rub their pet down with this. You can not only use it on your dog, but on your cat as well.

Instant Wireless Pet Barrier
Breaking a new puppy (or dog) into your home can be quite a task, and you will need copious amounts of patience and love without lashing out at the pup. Of course, you must be prepared to suffer chewed shoes and furniture with the latest addition to your home at the beginning – or not? The Instant Wireless Pet Barrier comes in handy, training your pooch to stay off furniture and out of forbidden rooms without having to erect physical barriers or involve a complicated installation process. All you need to do is strap the collar on Fido, place the wireless transmitter somewhere and he won’t venture beyond the 12′ diameter zone as doing so will result in a harmless, mild static energy pulse that makes it uncomfortable enough to return to where it came from. The transmitter is powered by a trio of AA batteries, while the collar sips energy from a couple of CR2032 batteries. You can pick up the Instant Wireless Pet Barrier for $79.95 a pop.

R2-D2 Aquarium
We’ve featured a fair few interesting, tasteless and bizarre aquariums here on Coolest Gadgets but this is probably the nerdiest yet (thanks Critiker), the R2-D2 Aquarium.
Modeled after the most well-known astromech droid in the galaxy, this R2-D2 holds a 1 3/4-gallon aquarium tank in his central compartment, ideal for a small freshwater family of goldfish, gouramis, or tetras. The domed head rotates with any vocal command you issue and he utters his familiar “bleeps” from the Star Wars movies. His radar eye houses the eyepiece to a built-in periscope that provides an intimate view of the aquatic activity below, allowing you to watch your charges swim towards the food you’ve dropped in from the dome’s removable feeding door.
You can buy the R2-D2 Aquarium from Hammacher for $129.95 found via our friends over at Critiker.

Pet Porte Microchip Cat Flap lets in your cat only
Even though I have a pet, I don’t have one of those pet doors. Of course, I have a Chocolate Labrador, and a burglar could easily fit through a dog door that big.
What if there was a way to put a lock on a pet door, and somehow give your pet the only key? This is a basic concept of the Pet Porte Microchip Cat Flap.
This pet door works by identifying a cat by its microchip implant, which is a trend of identification amongst pet owners. In case you are not familiar with this emerging technology, it allows a pet catcher with a specialized scanner to scan an implanted chip in a pet. This allows for proper identification of a pet that is better than an easily removable tag.
