Although video calls over wifi is nothing new, they came up with a simple device for non techies.  It seamlessly allows you to connect your smartphone to their treat dispenser and have a live video interaction with your pet while delivering their favorite treat from the apparatus.  It is so simple and an awesome idea.  Not to mention the inventor is still in high school.

It is always wonderful to see creative people embrace science, tech and design.  They have a kickstarter project here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/icpooch/icpooch-internet-pet-treat-delivery-and-video-chat  In addition they were named as a top 10 finalist in Microsoft’s Small Business Contest.

Would you use one of these with your pet?  Or what types of ways would you use science and technology to improve the lives of your pet?  DogVacay.com the AirBnb of dogs has been wildly successful for example!
