I'm definitely eager to see the long-term prospects of this. Will #PetTelehealth die out when the vet shortage slows down? Is it here to stay?

#PetOwnership is at an all-time high, so naturally, the need for #VetCare is too. There's an unfortunate veterinary shortage right now, but with the rise of pet #telehealth, pet owners are gaining access to licensed vets remotely. fastcompany.com/91168488/pet-t…

Great tips here on traveling with pets. Your pets can't easily communicate their food, water, or bathroom needs, so make sure you're being extra vigilant about regularly tending to these things. Travel can put an extra stress on #pets. #PetCare aol.com/dos-donts-taki…

In reality, #microchipping is quick, safe, and your best bet at getting your pet home in the event of an escape. #Peeva #PetCare

❌ Myth: Microchips are large and cause discomfort. ✅ Fact: Microchips are a similar size as grain of rice. ❌ Myth: The microchipping needle is big and painful. ✅ Fact: The microchipping needle is ~12 gauge—slightly larger than a regular vaccination. peeva.co/blog/microchip…

Did you know that #Peeva is the only universally standardized pet microchip identification system, central microchip registry, and unified database of electronic health records for pets? If you haven't registered your pet with us yet, make today the day👇

Very sweet to see. Anyone who has ever lost a pet knows how hard it is. Grieving a pet can feel lonely, but this is a great opportunity to take that isolation out. #Pets veterinarypracticenews.com/rainbow-bridge…

What an interesting glimpse into the potential future of #PetCare! While these innovations are exciting there is some serious work that still needs to be done in terms of animal wellbeing and data to back up these products. #SmartDevices #AI #Robotics uk.news.yahoo.com/robotics-firm-…

While #microchips have been an immense tech breakthrough that supports the wellbeing of pets and their owners, without broader standardization data that is far too important can get lost in the scuffle, especially when they are not scanned in the right way. #PetCare #Innovation

Many local municipalities are requiring #pets to be microchipped, yet there is no sense of standardization or data tracking for these #microchips. If we are going to lean into technology we need to be taking full advantage of the resources offered by data. kansas.com/news/local/art…

I appreciate how more organizations are advocating for checking and updating microchips, especially when we have such a substantial data gulf in the realm of pet care. #PetCare #Microchips #Innovation prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

With new animal care facilities opening across the US, there is a renewed interest in leveraging #tech across the industry. I'm particularly passionate about the tech we put into #microchips, as it is one of the critical gaps where #PetCare can improve. dvm360.com/view/clinic-ce…

Your first few months with a new pet are some of the most crucial of all—it's when you learn their general body language and disposition, begin to form a strong bond, and when it'll be easiest to train out any unwanted behaviors. #PetOwnership #PetCare #PetAdvice

Great advice here. A lot of people don't realize just how long it often takes pets to fully acclimate to a new home, but it can take months for any environment to truly begin feeling like "home." wlfi.com/news/local/tip…

Great tips. If you're living in areas heavily affected by smoke, keep your pet inside as much as possible. For pets that need outdoor time (like dogs for bathroom needs), limit it to 5-10 minutes. Make sure to keep all windows closed as well. #PetCare

@furryaging Thanks for bringing awareness to this important topic! In addition to microchips, there are other innovations that can better support wellbeing. These are more than industry trends, they are transformative tools that allow pet owners to take better care of their animals.

1. RFID: Uses radio waves to identify and track pets from a distance without making physical contact. It can be found in collar tags and microchips for identification and tracking. It also powers automatic feeders and smart doors.

3 technologies used in Smart Pet Devices that are shaping the future of how we care for our furry friends:

Definitely a more niche case of #microchipping reuniting a family with their pet, but this really does highlight the importance of microchipping pets—not JUST cats and dogs. If you have a pet, microchipping could save you someday—let this be an example. foxsanantonio.com/newsletter-dai…

Rules around bringing your dog into the US are changing—VERY important to know if you're planning to do so. #PetOwnership #PetCare #Travel cdc.gov/importation/do…

I've heard a lot of parents say no when their kids beg for pets, but maybe it's time to rethink that...

🔹 When kids read to dogs, they were more engaged and motivated to read, and would feel a sense of achievement. 🔹 Interacting with pets may be associated with decreased symptoms in kids with ADD. 🔹 Interacting with pets may also improve social skills in kids with autism.

I've mentioned quite a few times just how beneficial #pets are for #MentalHealth, but they can actually play a positive role in children's development. Very cool findings from recent studies: healthmatters.nyp.org/why-pets-are-g…
