The new dog collar will be designed as a back-up warning system to warn owners if their dog is in danger of suffering from heat exhaustion. The fabric band collar will feature a thermistor within a small black box. The thermistor will constantly measure the temperature of the dog's environment, and will send a cell phone alert if the temperature becomes too hot (typically 80 degree F).

The cat convertible cabinet will be a functional and stylish cabinet that will convert into a kitty lounge with scratching wall and cat bed.

A new cat door will only open for approved microchipped pets, preventing strays and random animals from entering the home. The door will include an integrated microchip reader that will store the information of up to 32 cats. The door will open when the cat lowers its head to enter, automatically locking again once the pet has passed through. The reader will be compatible with most microchips. A larger version for small dogs could be developed as well.

Why not create a device that will combine a pet poop scoop with an incinerator, effectively turning pet waste into sterile ash in seconds? The device will consist of a retractable handle and an integrated decomposition chamber that will contain replaceable cartridges of as yet undisclosed chemicals. The pet waste will mix with the chemicals to become odorless, sterile ashes in under a minute.

The idea is to develop a system that will allow pet owners a way to interact with their pets in real time by remotely controlling toys through the internet. The system will include a webcam, control box, and two devices that will be able to each move and swing a standard pet toy. Users will be able to log in and manipulate the toys from the on screen controls while watching their pet via the live webcam feed.

It seems to be a great idea to create a harness which will allow dogs to be guided remotely and controlled while out of sight. The harness will come with GPS, sensors, and wireless modem allowing handlers to keep track of the dog while issuing commands from a distance. The system will relay the commands to the dog in the form of vibrations or tones that the dog has been trained to recognize.

I have the idea which could return a great interest for pet shop keepers. Why not make tattoos on fishes? There could be any kind of tattoo... either a text (like "I love you", "Merry Christmas" or whatever) or a small picture. A customer would have an option.

I spent much time making my cat stop peeing all around my house. Below are a couple of tips that helped me (hope they could help somebody else). * Keep the litter box clean! Cats can be picky creatures. If their regular watering hole isn't as sparkling as they would like it to be, they will find somewhere else to go. * Clean old messes thoroughly. Cats are creatures of habit. They will continue to pee on your carpet until they can smell their own vile urine there. *...
