Pets Eye View: See things from Fido’s POV

July 11th, 2008 by Mark R in Digital Cameras, Pet Gadgets, Photography


Ever wonder how your pet sees the world? I can imagine that it is pretty low of the ground, and food is always so high up.

Now, you don’t have to imagine anymore with the Pets Eye View digital camera! The Pets Eye View clips to a pet’s collar like an ID tag, and is completely water resistant.

The camera can be programmed to snap a photo every one, five, or fifteen minutes, and store them in its internal memory. These pictures can be downloaded onto your computer with the included USB cable. This cable can be used to charge the lithium ion battery inside the camera.

Pant Master 2000 ensures no summer “hot dogs”

July 6th, 2008 by AndrewD in Pet Gadgets

Summer is the time for hot dogs. And we mean of the canine variety, of course. Yeah, frankfurters are delicious at BBQs, baseball games, and the occasional quick meal, but we’re not talking about meat here. We’re talking about our four-legged companions. Man’s best friend. The dog.

Any pet owner (as long as they don’t own a camel or scorpion) knows that pets and extreme heat don’t mix very well. While dogs might love laying out in the sun and catching rays just as much as we do, you can tell from their panicked panting that the heat is just too much for them to bare at times. The Pant Master 2000 keeps your doggy cool in the dog days of August. And oh yes, that pun was certainly intended. This is one of the coolest gadgets, literally.

Catty Corner Litter Box

July 2nd, 2008 by Edwin in Pet Gadgets

So you’ve got a little kitty in your home, but you’re running short on living space as well. What’s there to do? Why, pick up the Catty Corner Litter Box, of course!

Tuck it into a corner…this full-size cat box comes in a space-saving design! The Catty Corner litter box fits even in smaller rooms, but still gives your cat plenty of room to maneuver. Scatter Guard Doorflap keeps spilled litter to a minimum, while the handy sifting tray makes it easy to clean. The door flap gives kitty extra privacy and helps reduce “litter scatter.” The interchangeable halves make it ultra-easy to “scoop”…just remove the top half and use the convenient handles to lift out the sifting screen. Replace it in the empty half, pour the clean litter in and replace the top! Made in the USA of stain- and odor-resistant polypropylene material.

The Catty Corner Litter Box will retail for $29.95 a pop.

Garmin Astro GPS Dog Tracking System

June 29th, 2008 by Edwin in GPS gadgets, Pet Gadgets

Garmin does not only come up with navigation solutions for those who have a bad sense of direction on the road (and maybe even in life), as they cater to pet owners as well with the latest DC 30 GPS dog tracking collar that is meant to be used with the Astro GPS Dog Tracking System. This new collar offers a toughness that is superior to its predecessor, and you get differently position antennas for optimal tracking. According to Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales, “The new DC 30 collar is designed to stand up to the torturous abuse of hunting dogs. Whether it’s hounds crashing through thick and swampy woods, or bird dogs bounding through dense CRP fields, the DC 30 is made to take the beating that working dogs dish out daily. And the new configuration also makes mounting the collar a cinch – while improving reception.”

Live Goldfish Keychain Eventually Becomes Simply Goldfish Keychain

June 12th, 2008 by AndrewD in Pet Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

What’s the deal yo? Why are vendors in Qingdao, China putting goldfish inside of these mini-keychains and selling them off? Well, money, of course. But how twisted is this, for real? Sources say that the fish inside would only survive a few hours, and is usually lucky to get past the manufacturing phase in one piece.

China must have some sort of animal cruelty laws set-up in their government, so we doubt that these Live Goldfish Keychains will last very long. But what the hell?! Even if the fish survived would people even actually rock this on their keys? Screw the whales for the moment. Save the Goldfish!

May 23rd, 2008 by Edwin in Pet Gadgets



Having trouble walking all three of your dogs simultaneously? Why not let the ezeleash ease your burden by offering an innovative method that will definitely save you a whole lot of muscle strain and stress.

ezeleash is an ergonomically designed dog lead handle, incorporating a bag dispenser and a spray hand sanitizer. It allows you comfortable control of your dog or dogs. The handle has a grip especially designed to reduce strain on your hand and forearm. The bag dispenser is designed to accommodate a roll of specially shaped, biodegradable ezebags. These can be accessed with one hand, while still retaining easy control of your dog. The full bag can be attached to the underside of the ezeleash until it is able to be properly disposed of. The ezeclenze sanitizer allows you to clean your hands at any time after dealing with your pet. The waterless spray evaporates off, leaving your hands fresh, moisturised and germ free. ezeleash has an adjustable lead portion, so that you are able to change the lead length to suit your needs.

Now this is definitely a convergence product made specially for dog lovers, and I must say I am pretty impressed by it! It works fine for just one dog, and even better for owners of multiple dogs. Prices start from $39.90 upwards, depending on the type of packaging you prefer.
