As said, “Dogs are our best friends in sickness and in health;” we must take the same responsibility towards them.
Imagine living a life away from your family due to work and returning to a lonely home every evening.
Do you know what sounds better?
Having a pet dog that comes running to the door as soon as it hears the sound of keys clinking when you get back home after a whole day of work.
The moment you see your pup wagging its tail, jumping around here and there, the only thing you’re left with is a big smile and heart full of love.
If we look more closely, dogs inspire us to live in the moment and enjoy it to the fullest. We are sure nobody would want their pets to ever get sick or feel unhealthy because they give us selfless love and brighter days.
Don’t you think we too have a responsibility towards our pets to provide them a longer and healthier life?
Fortunately, advances in technology have made it possible via healthcare technology!
How? You’ll know as you keep reading!
Additions in the Tech That’ll Help Your Pets Live a Healthier Life
1. Advanced Veterinary Medicine
Similar to the health-related advances for human beings, there has been advancement in veterinary medicine for dogs. As per a veterinary surgeon, they are using procedures that no longer give our pets a hard time. Specialists are using technologies to build treatment plans, 3-D print bones, etc., and provide an easy-going treatment.
2. Use of Wearables
We all are familiar with the activity trackers that are common amongst people. Similarly, pet wearables are also being emphasized and gaining popularity to track the pet’s health.
Numerous companies, including FitBark, Whistle, attach wearables into dog collars for the dog owners to track their pet’s movement via the pet app. Not only is the data collected and monitored, but signs of an illness can also be tracked.
The best part of using these activity trackers is that they also include a GPS mechanism. Therefore, anytime your pet leaves the boundary, you’ll be notified regarding the same.
3. Programmable Bells and Buttons
Dogs cannot speak, but how about a technology that makes communication easier?
Sounds like a dream, right?
Devices like the Mighty Paw Smart Bell are one of the recommended devices for anyone who wants to train their pet.
Additionally, the use of recordable answer buttons will also help your dogs build a connection with you.
4. Cameras and Treat Dispensers
Do you ever wonder what your dog does when you leave the room or aren’t home?
Interestingly, At-home technology now enables you to keep an eye on them!
If you want to know what your dogs are doing behind you all day, web-based camera systems are the way to see. These are the wi-fi-enabled cameras, and you can watch the footage from anywhere on your phone.
Furthermore, when there’s no one to take care of your pet, technologies like Pet Tutor allow you to feed your companion remotely by dispensing treats.
Isn’t that awesome?
Don’t you think building a pet health tracking app will be a great entrepreneurial idea and a great initiative to help pet owners take care of their pet’s health?
If that’s a yes, here’s what you need to know!
Must-Have Features of an Efficient Pet Health Tracking App
1. Digital Profile
It is one of the crucial features to integrate into your app that will hold all the information about the pet, including name, age, sex, and more.
Additionally, you must emphasize letting users add multiple pet profiles to the app to offer the convenience of monitoring the health of all the pets.
2. In-App Activity Tracking
This feature needs to be incorporated with a wearable device to keep track of a pet’s health and activity.
3. Medical Records and Vaccination
It is necessary to store pet’s medical records and vaccination information in one place. Not only this, but the feature must alert users regarding the vaccination schedule or appointment, so they don’t miss it.
4. Service Providers
Sometimes, users might not know about a vet’s clinic nearby. Therefore, this feature needs to be integrated, so it displays all the clinics around for users to make a quick visit.
Additionally, you may also let your users connect with the service providers that can take care of the pet in the owner’s absence.
5. Pet-Friendly Places
Not all places, like hotels, restaurants, venues, etc., allow pets. Therefore, integrate a feature into your app that displays places where the owners can take their pets along.
Wouldn’t it be nice?
In a Nutshell
Not only the above-mentioned features but there are quite a lot of other functionalities you can offer via your app and make it more unique.
Undoubtedly, pets have a significant role to play in our lives, be it cheering our mood or having a companion. Therefore, now it’s time for you to take care of them and give them a healthy life.
