Cats and dogs being tracked! Whoa! Is that so easy?

From treat dispensaries to smart collars pet devices are developed to make pet’s life more simple. The Buddy smart collar is a LED-capable collar that can track and monitor your dog while the DOTT dog tag is a Bluetooth-enabled device that attaches to a dog's collar and pairs with the owner's phone to form a virtual leash. When it comes to cats and feeding, the CatFi Box is a low-tech feeder that helps track your cat's eating habits while the Bistro Cat Feeder is equipped with facial recognition technology to help with portion control. 

Hong Kong listed SUGA (0912.HK) and other start-ups in China are behoofing via pet wearables like smart collars, leashes and feeders.

Let us glance at what a user had to comment:

 "The device really helped me once, when I loosened the collar and he just ran out of the park," said Liu.
