Interactive Pet Toys

Pets require constant stimulation, and many owners find it difficult to engage their canine companions in activities that keep them busy for hours on end. A dog’s sense of smell is much keener than an owner’s, and he’ll often detect the odor of ailed or sick animals from a long way off. Thus, it’s important to provide your canine – and feline - friend with toys that will keep them busy and to offer flea and tick prevention. Identical pet toys with bells and whistles are a pet parent’s dream. But what types of toys are best for different pets? Have a look at www.dropinshopper.com for a great selection of pet toys.

Robot vacuum cleaners

Robot vacuums are a new breed of canine cleaning machines. Like their human counterparts, they’re handy, reliable, and very quiet. But unlike their human counterparts, which quietly suction upholstery and dirt, a robot vacuum cleaner will actually zap your dog across the house, sending him scurrying for cover. Fortunately, such machines are becoming more affordable. Available with heated seats and brushes, they’re also perfect for cleaning hard-to-reach areas like the family room or the garage. Robot vacuums are not only environment friendly -they also use far less electricity than full blown vacuums. As a result, they’re ideal for homes with limited space. And because they use tiny little brushes instead of a large hose, they’re also more selective with water and dirt.

Smart Collar for Cats and Dogs

When it comes to keeping your pet safe and happy this winter, a collar is always better than a chain. A dog collar is designed to support your pet’s neck and prevent them from falling over. A cat collar, by contrast, is meant to support their back and prevent them from falling forward. However, a cat collar also provides double the support for your cat, so you won’t have to worry about them toppling over. A smart collar can sense your pet’s vital signs - like their heartbeat and respiration rate - so your cat doesn’t have to be physically present for you to track their health. Moreover, smart collars come with a number of useful features, such as a digital display that can show you current information such as temperature and blood pressure, as well as a bell that you can use to sound the alarm in an emergency.

Auto-sanitation Devices for cats and dogs

Sometimes a pet doesn’t just have a health problem; they may be in danger of developing one. That’s why it’s important to keep your pet’s nails and hair trimmed to a reasonable length. But while clipping your dog’s nails might seem like a simple task, it’s actually a critical step in the treatment process. Clipping your cat’s nails is actually vital to the cat’s health, as it helps to remove excess hair and prevent nutritional challenges such as diabetes and heart disease. Furthermore, each year in the U.S., 8.6 million cats and 5.8 million dogs are diagnosed with nail problems, so this is a major issue for pet owners.

Smart Feeding Bowls for Cats and Dogs

Feeding a cat or dog is actually a two person job. That’s why you should invest in high quality pet feeding bowls to simplify the process. To ensure your cat or dog gets the most out of his or her food, it’s important to find a feeding bowl that is highly functional and easy to clean. You can do so by opting for a feeding bowl with a transparent or translucent design. The translucent bowls allow you to see exactly how your pet is doing and you can easily offer a correction if needed. For example, your dog may be eating too fast, which could indicate a strong appetite, but a slow, steady feed is better for your pet. A quick visual check - instead of a verbal one - will keep both of you from getting frustrated. Drop-In Shopper offer a selection of automatic feeders for your pets.

Virtual pet games

What animal doesn’t enjoy a little stimulation? Our research teams have identified a whole litany of canine games that could be used to calm and cuddle your pet this winter. And there are a variety of virtual pet options available for the internet. You can search for games on websites like PetFinder and Kong or download apps for your mobile device. Dogs also love to play online games, so you and your pet can connect online and play games together. Some of the virtual pet games that have been successful for man’s best friend include Pounce, Roll, Zoom, and Giggle.

More pet-friendly accommodation

Looking for a way to make your pet’s life easier? We highly recommend seeking out a pet-friendly hotel or motel. Pets are allowed in most hotels, and if you bring your pet along, you won’t have to pay room rate or taxes. Pet-friendly hotels also have extra care and maintenance staff who are happy to help.
