The Scoop on the PETLUX V3: A Smarter, Cleaner, and Roomier Litter Box That Doesn’t Stink

If your cat is more lion-sized than kitten-small or you’re juggling the daily routines of multiple feline friends, you’ve probably had your fair share of litter box drama. Cramped quarters, constant scooping, weird smells, and let’s not even talk about the “surprise” leaks on your floor. PETLUX clearly got the memo and decided it was time for a serious upgrade. Meet the PETLUX V3—a sleek, spacious, self-cleaning litter box that doesn’t just clean up after your cats but also tidies up a lot of the stress that comes with being a devoted cat parent.


GlocalMe Introduces a Pet Smartphone, a Smarter SIM, and a WiFi Hotspot That Plays Nice With Satellites

Your smartphone is basically an extension of your hand. You use it for calls, messages, GPS tracking, health monitoring, and, let’s admit it, doom-scrolling. But what about your pet? Ever wonder if your dog wishes they could call you when they’re home alone? Or if your cat, in their infinite wisdom, is plotting an escape and could use a GPS tracker that actually works? GlocalMe, a mobile data connection solution subbrand under uCloudlink (NASDAQ: UCL), just announced a product lineup that, at first glance, might sound like science fiction—but it’s very real, and it’s here to shake things up.


With the SATELLAI Tracker, You’ll Never Lose Track of Your Adventure-Loving Pup Again!

Think your pet tracker has you covered? Try using it when your dog takes off into the mountains or the backwoods—where cell service is nonexistent. That’s where SATELLAI Tracker stands out. If you’ve ever spent a heart-pounding hour (or more) searching for a dog who thinks “come back here” is a suggestion rather than a command, you know the panic of a missing pet. Imagine never having to feel that again, no matter where your four-legged escape artist decides to wander.

My Golden-Doodle, Nava, Is Excited About WaterField’s Newest Releases

I love WaterField products… but they’re going to the dogs, and that’s a good thing. In recent weeks they announced two new products, the Wag Hip Pack and Wag Dog Leash. Designed for those of us who are owned by a dog (because dog people know who’s the boss), they bring WaterField’s premium design and construction to your favorites pooch’s gear.



Calmer Canine Soothes Your Anxious Dog in Sci-Fi Style

I had a dog once who was very anxious about being left alone. This was problematic because he was 100lbs and not that bright, so you never knew quite how he’d express his displeasure at being home alone. Calmer Canine sees dog anxiety as a brain issue, and they claim their new anxiety gadget will ease doggie fears!


Sparky’s Scared of the Varram Pet Fitness Robot

Maybe I just have an awkward puppy, but Sparky is one of those pets that you’d consider a “chewer.” So when introducing him to the “Varram” — a “robot for pets” — it seemed that Sparky was more annoyed by it than excited.



SureFlap’s Microchip Pet Door Keeps Fido Safe

Pet doors have long been a staple of pet ownership. They make it much easier to automate the process of letting your dog or cat outside and back in again. If you have a fenced in yard, for instance, it doesn’t make sense to stop what you’re doing and let your dog in or out every hour on the hour.




Nava Takes to the Doggie Runway All Dressed up in Pawz

Some dogs don’t like the rain. Our mini golden doodle Nava isn’t one of them. Some dogs don’t like the snow. Nava DEFINITELY isn’t one of them. But when Nava is out in the snow her thick, curly fur becomes packed with the stuff, and she turns into a fur-cicle. So the other day I tried Pawz aka doggie-booties.


Nava Meets the CleverPet, and She’s One Happy Pup!

When Raina saw the CleverPet game console on Facebook, she said, “We need to get Nava one of these.” (Nava is our eighteen-month-old miniature golden doodle.) I asked why the dog needs a game console. Raina replied, “Not need… want… she’ll love it.” This is the first in a series of posts about Nava and her app-controlled game.


There’s No Better Way to Bond with Your Pet Than the Link AKC

For the holidays I wanted to get my dog Sparky something other than cheap Amazon squeaker toys that he typically destroys in under an hour, so when I was presented with the chance to review the LINK AKC Smart Collar for Dogs, I was excited at testing a new product on Sparky that he couldn’t possibly rip to shreds.
