Your Pets Will Always Need Your Personal Touch

Technology has a way of influencing every aspect of our lives, including our relationships with our pets. In the future, you may find yourself spending quality time with your animal companions from thousands of miles away using a web camera and a mobile phone thanks to an ingenious device called the Petcube. However, you should know that nothing can replace your personal touch and care when it comes to your pets, particularly in meeting their most basic needs.

Much like humans, all animals require food and shelter to survive; two things that modern gadgets can never replicate. When feeding your pets, always make sure that they're eating what they should eat, as opposed to giving them leftovers from your dinner table. This is because different animals have drastically different dietary needs that are very distinct from humans. For instance, chocolate and garlic can be lethal to dogs.

Another thing that you should always personally provide your pet is shelter. While your house can suffice, you should always be ready to tend to your pets' more primal needs which you can't meet without special pet supplies. Dogs need rubber toys to bite on so they won't chew on your upholstery and furniture while cats need separate litter boxes so they won't just pee anywhere.
