MUST HAVE APPS FOR DOG OWNERS

As a dog owner myself, I am well aware of the lengths pet owners are willing to travel to keep their “babies” happy, healthy and well-entertained. App developers must be pet owners themselves, since the market is full of software that caters specifically to the need of pet parents to take the best possible care of their companions.

Pet First Aid

Fist things first – and when it comes to dog care nothing is more important than your pooch’s health. Make sure you are prepared for emergencies with Pet First Aid by the Ameican Red Cross. The app, available on IOS and Android, offers articles, videos and illustration on pet health emergencies for both cats and dogs. And while you should still consult a vet when your pet is not feeling well, having this valuable information at your fingertips can help you feel more in control and keep you furry companion well-protected. You can also test your pet health knowledge with helpful quizzes and learn more about your dog or cat.

DoggyDatez

DoggyDatez is a social media platform for your dog. Really. Next time you take Fido for a walk, you can “mark your dog’s territory” and monitor who else visits the same spots. The app is great for organizing pet play-dates and you can search for other DoggyDatez users, based on dog breed, dog age or dog gender.

Tagg

If you’ve ever even for a moment let your dog out of your sight and thought he was lost – you’d never want to have that feeling again. Tagg makes sure you know exactly where your dog is and what he is up to via GPS. The app and the gadget come as a set and you will also be able to monitor your dog’s daily “workouts” to make sure he’s getting enough exercise.
