Forget a new collar or a chew toy – man’s best friend is demanding high-tech gifts this year. And you do love your dog and would do anything for him/her (yes I know it is an it but they are children).
Aussie’s are gearing up to celebrate their furry best friends and keep them entertained with the latest gadgets. From pet cameras to dog prams, we’re all ensuring that our pups are up to speed and spoilt rotten this Dog Day.
eBay seller Jeff Willis of Lucky Pets has witnessed the growth of pet tech amongst consumers with some of the popular items including, “IFetch Sureflap door, and the Surefeed microchipped pet feeder, which is great for dogs that don't scoff their food as it will keep it moist (if a wet food) or if it's outside, will stop the birds from getting to kibble.”
Check out eBay’s top picks that your dogs will go barking mad for.
