Hi-tech innovations automate the act of caring for your furry friends

Implications - Caring for a pet can be very time-consuming, and since today's consumers lead busier lives, there is less time to devote to pets overall. Luckily, a number of technological innovations are becoming available that help pet owners automate the act of taking care of their furry friends. These innovations range from devices that 'play' with your pet to keep it occupied for hours to those that alert consumers when their pets are overheating.
Trend Themes
1. Automated Pet Care - As busy lifestyles prevail, technology that automates the care of pets is becoming mainstream.
2. Smart Pet Toys - Technology-infused pet toys enable joy and exercise for pets without human intervention.
3. Smart Pet Accessories - Tech-infused accessories for pets like automated fountains and smart pet doors are becoming increasingly common.
Industry Implications
1. Pet Care - The pet care industry can leverage automation technology in innovative ways to create new revenue streams and disrupt the market.
2. Technology - The technology industry can capitalize on the unmet needs of busy pet owners with smart pet toys and accessories.
3. Crowdfunding - Crowdfunding platforms can serve as a launchpad for innovative pet technology like automated pet fountains and overheated pet warnings.
