We smell a trend: the PetsCell cellphone for dogs
Especially handy since you'll finally be able to call up your dog and let them know you're going to be a few minutes late meeting them for sushi at Masa, PetsMobility have a new cellphone for animals out called the PetsCell that you attach to one of their paws and that automatically answers when you call them up (because obviously the idea of a dog being able to answer a phone themselves is crazy). They do offer an optional GPS module in case you want to track your dog's whereabouts, but if you trust them enough to give them a cellphone, wouldn't you want to respect their privacy, too? (Bet you thought we were joking about this whole thing about gadget manufacturers going after the animal market—as far as we're concerned, two stories about this in one day officially constitutes an incontrovertible trend.)
Apparently, keeping your pet indoors or ponying up for a fenced in a yard just isn't in style anymore, as the RoamEO GPS tracking system for pets joins the crowd of other locating devices, texting adornments, and inflatable collars that folks seem to prefer over the more traditional methods. This particular setup is geared to work on all roaming pets, but certainly has its limitations. While the GPS-enabled collar sends the exact location, movements, and velocity to your handheld tracking unit, your pet still turns MIA if it wanders more than a mile away. If you're fairly certain Fido isn't apt to stray all that far, you can setup a GPS fence that will send audible alerts if that perimeter is breached. This seems to be a decent system for multi-pet owners who have a tough time keeping things on a leash, as you can maintain a keen eye on three creatures simultaneously -- but it'll cost you $459 for the first one, and $149 for each additional collar.
