Smart Pet Play Devices

easyPlay Encourages Physical Activity in Dogs At Home

— May 16, 2017 — Lifestyle
easyPlay is a device that encourages both play and exercise in dogs, and can be controlled by pet owners from a distance.

While many dogs, particularly large breeds, require regular activity in order to not get too restless and remain healthy, pet owners often work throughout the day and are unable to properly care for their dogs' health. The easyPlay device aims to change this fact, functioning as a remote-controlled ball that can be made to roll around no matter where the pet owner is. As the dog rolls the ball, the device dispenses treats that function as positive reinforcement for it to continue playing. The device is accompanied by an app that allows pet owners to monitor their dog's activity levels.

easyPlay is an excellent device for individuals who would like to enhance their dog's health, but who may not have the time to do so during the day.
