The American Pet Products Association 2011-2012 National Pet Owners Survey revealed that there are 78.2 million pet dogs and 86.2 million pet cats in the US. The survey also found out that almost 4 out of 10 American families own a pet. Almost one-third of pet owners have more than one pet. On the other hand, the number of smartphone users in the US is also in the hundreds of millions.
For many of us, a large part of joy in life comes from interacting with our pets and our smart mobile devices. Needless to say, there are dozens of apps on different mobile stores that help pet owners take better care of their pets and help them relate better. And although most of the apps for smartphones are directed towards people who own dogs and cats, I have tried to include different kinds of apps that fulfill the need of a diverse group of pet owners.
Pet Names
It is not easy to name a pet, and once you have named your pet you can't change that name easily. While it is not too difficult for find common and interesting pet names for dogs and cats, if you have some other pet, you won't be able to find a good name easily. The Pet Names application has over 3000 names for all kinds of pets, including horses, cows, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, rabbit, and even snakes! In addition to providing a number of options, it also allows users to browse for names by pet type, create a list of favorite names, share name through email and browse pet names by popularity.
Cat Training
The very name of this application is bound to bring a smile on the faces of cat owners. Unlike dogs, cats are notoriously difficult to train. This is a rather comprehensive app that helps cat owners with a number of cat-training aspects-litter-box training, breaking unacceptable cat behaviors, stopping clawing and scratching, and a lot more. It even teaches cat owners to make the cat respond to their calls, to walk on a leash and to accept brushing.
Pet First Aid
Most of us love our pets, but we do not have enough knowledge or training to react quickly when something happens to our four-legged friends. The pet first aid app has a number of videos and step-by-step illustrations that they show you how to treat you pets. It covers a wide range of topics like bleeding, poisoning, drowning, muzzling restraining, burns, stings, sprains, strains, etc. You can also store the vital medical information like vaccination, medications, allergies, veterinarian contact information, and other notes in the app.
Petoxins
There are lots of plants in any neighborhood that can make pets ill or kill them. Every year, there are tens of thousands of cases of pets eating toxic plants and getting sick. This app has been developed to help pet owners recognize potentially poisonous plants and rid their houses and garden of such plants. This app can also be extremely useful to people who are shopping for new plants and want to make sure that they don't end up buying plants that are harmful to their pets.
PetFinder
Buying a pet can be quite costly, but you can always adopt one. How does one go about the business of adopting a pet? PetFinder app makes the whole process simple and easy. It allows you to browse adoptable pets on the basis of area. You can select pets on the basis of their breed, gender, age and size. As you can view complete pet descriptions, you don't actually need to go to the shelters to see the pets. You can compose a list of favorites and check them out at the shelter. As a bonus you can also read happy pet adoption stories.
