6. Pooch Play Dog Monitor
We're always being told to keep our canines active so if you're worried yours isn't getting enough exercise then invest in the Pooch Play activity tracker and app. This will show you how busy they've been, how far they've run and will keep a track on their weight, as well as important appointments for vaccinations and check-pups. Sorry we had to.
