I want a dog. I spend all day cooped up in this house,-I do it for YOU, people-and have been thinking my partner and I could use a pal to curse when we have to take him outside to do his business. And if we get around to actually going to the animal shelter, finding the perfect pet and bringing it home I'm going to buy him lots of new and fun gadgets. Well, maybe-Too busy to play fetch with Fido? Does you dog have an infinite amount of energy? If so, try giving your pooch some exercise with GoDogGo - a dog's own personal playmate. Kind of like the automatic ball release that tennis players use,
GoDogGo ($149) lets you use a remote control to launch tennis balls from 15-30 feet every 7-15 seconds.

The battery-powered device (also supports an AC Adapter) is made of relatively durable high-impact plastic. It has a 15-ball capacity (six GoDogGo tennis balls included), but it would be great if you could train you dog to put the balls back in the bucket for continuous play. Having said that, at least you'll never have to touch a ball soaked in dog saliva..again.
You love dogs? We love dogs. But until now we had never considered the idea of a dog treadmill. When you think about it, it makes a strange sort of sense, after all Britney Spears and Paris Hilton's dogs spend as much time on the red carpet as they do. The Jog A Dog treadmills are built at an 11 degree angle and have side guard rails. The small dog treadmill costs $1095 and the large model shown here runs $1695. You'll still have to take your dog out to do his "business" but the treadmill is specially engineered to be resistant to muddy paws, dog hair, drool and poo. You know, just in case.

Cats need gadgets too - in this case the Catit Drinking Fountain from Hagen. Water constitutes approximately 70% of a cat's or dog's body. Encouraging cats to drink more water helps ensure proper kidney function and may decrease the incidence of crystal formation and urinary disease.
The Catit Drinking Fountain responds to your pet's need for a continuous supply of water. The re-circulating flow (and filter) eliminates stagnant water and is whisper quiet, which is nice.. but not quite as important as how cool-looking it is.

The GlobalPetFinder device uses the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and wireless technology to give you peace of mind with pet location updates every 2 seconds. You can choose to have the location information sent to your mobile phone, pager, PDA or computer in text or map form. If for some reason the device is temporarily unable to get a satellite 'lock,' it will continue to search until it does, and you will know where your pet was last. GlobalPetFinder will fit onto ANY standard collar, harness or halter, and is absolutely harmless to the pet.
