Keep Your Pet Healthy and Safe
Want some sober stats about everyday threats to your furry little companions? Dogs and cats are as prone to getting fat as us humans, especially older pets. PetMD says 17.6 percent of US dogs (13.9 million) are obese and 35.1 percent (29.9 million) are overweight. And according to the American Humane Association, more than 10 million pets cats and dogs go missing every year, either lost or stolen.
Those numbers are disconcerting, especially when you consider just how much happiness our fluffy friends bring into our lives. It s our duty to keep them happy, healthy, and safe. And while regular trips to the vet along with some good old-fashioned TLC do wonders, technology can help play a pivotal role as well. We ve tested plenty of pet trackers and GPS collars designed to trace your pet s activity, location, and more. Here s what to look for, along with our favorites.
