Hunter Bowen, who earned his DVM from Texas A&M in 2011, lives and practices in Austin, Texas. Both at home and in his work at the Firehouse Animal Health Center, he taps into tech that has the potential to make life with dogs (and cats) easier to manage. Following, Dr. Bowen calls out a few of the trends and gadgets that have come to his attention.
HIGH-TECH DOORS
Doors controlled by key fob and/or microchip have obvious security benefits, but I’m equally impressed with this technology’s application to keeping our companion animals safe. Summer heat in Central Texas can be brutal, so something that allows me to control a pet door remotely —or allows my dog or cat to do it themselves—has real potential. I have no preference for a specific brand, but two to consider are High Tech Pet and Plexidor Electronic Pet Doors.
