Remember the slogan, “There’s an app for that?” Popularized by Apple’s famous 2009 commercial, the catchphrase inspired a galore of spinoff songs and blog post headlines. Yet it continues to ring true today. While the novelty of apps has perhaps worn off, there’s no shortage of dog-friendly apps that can help you connect with your pup and keep them safe. Below is a list of some useful apps to check out next time you’re browsing the App Store.
If you recently brought a new pup home, this could be a fun one to track their growth. Rated as the #1 Product of the Day in 2021 by Product Hunt, the app lets you take a one second video every day. At the end of the year (or whatever time frame you choose), the app will compile all your one-second clips into a sweet video. This is great for building memories you can look back on later.
If you need to leave your pup at home, Barkio is a dog monitor and pet cam app with a twist. Unlike other monitoring apps that require a special camera, Barkio lets you make use of extra phones, tablets, or computers you have to check in on them from afar. You can hear them bark, communicate to them remotely, and even capture video if you choose. It won’t be so easy for them to rummage through your trash can again.
