Technology, as you would expect, also sides with pet lovers, and every day there are more applications designed for us and our animals. Applications that make our lives easier or simply invite us to have fun with our pets.
At Aristopet, since we are very tech-savvy, we cannot resist trying every new app we discover. Some fade into obscurity, but others, like the ones we present below, seem fantastic to us. In fact, we confess that there are days when we use them more than WhatsApp itself.
Petometer
This app is perfect for any trip you take with your pet, whether walking or running. It lets you see the route you are taking and also reminds you when you should take your dog out. This helps you plan daily walks, track the time and distance of your walk or run, and find out what pace you and your pet maintained.
You also have a history of all your runs and routes, and even customized exercise plans for you and your pet. Each new outing can be shared on Facebook so everyone knows how much time you spend with your dog and how much fun you have together.
Petometer is available for iOS and Android and is free. What are you waiting for? Download it and create a profile for both of you.
Dog Whistler
More than twenty million users around the world have downloaded Dog Whistler, a free, highly innovative and useful app for iOS and Android. Dog Whistler works like a dog whistle and is very easy to use. What is it for? Nothing less than training your furry friend.
The whistle can be programmed to use different frequencies and offers different sound patterns, so it can be useful for giving your dog instructions at a given moment, but also for scolding it or praising it when it has behaved well.
Dog Translator
Although we understand each other just by looking at our dog and having them look at us, who hasn’t fantasized at some point about understanding exactly what each bark from their furry friend means?
Dog Translator was created in response to that desire, albeit as a joke, and works as a bark translator. It’s a very fun and slightly addictive app (you’ve been warned) because its bark translations… are priceless!
Mascotas Bienvenidas by Royal Canin
If it were up to us, we would take our pet everywhere, right? But unfortunately, that still isn’t possible. So, Mascotas Bienvenidas is the easiest way to find places for you and your pet.
From a hotel to a grooming salon or a park, and even a café where you can enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the best company: that of your four-legged friend. Useful, right? That’s why it has more than 10,000 downloads.
Adoptaloo
Lastly, we couldn’t fail to mention this nonprofit app, which has already reached one million downloads (and counting!), designed to help pets available for adoption, both dogs and cats, quickly find a family.
This app is very simple and intuitive, as its purpose is to make pet adoption easier. It lets you browse a constantly updated list of pets looking for a family and quickly get in touch with the shelter to formalize the adoption. A useful and compassionate app that shows us the kinder, more humane side of technology in our lives.
