Pets and tech go together like… well… like pets and tech – which is to say they frequently don’t go together at all. Anyone with a dog and a vacuum can tell you electronics and animals don’t really mix well. But this doesn’t have to be the case! As more and more households include kids of the four-legged variety, inventors have come up with some mighty awesome tech for pet people. These gifts are great for techies looking to take pet ownership to the next level. Sure you can always just turn on Animal Planet to keep your pets entertained, but these gifts are wayyyy cooler!
