OurPet’s Company (OTCQX: OPCO) is proving the adage
“you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” wrong with its OurPets® Intelligent Pet
Care™ line of products. According to the April 2016 issue of industry journal
Pet Age, “OurPet’s Company showcased what is perhaps the most complete line of
technology-integrated products, Intelligent Pet Care,” at the Global Pet Expo
in Orlando, Florida from March 16-18.
“Pets are smarter than you may think, but it’s often
difficult for them to clearly communicate their needs,” says Dr. Steve Tsengas,
founder and CEO of OurPet’s Company. In other words, for cats and dogs, dumb
doesn’t mean stupid. Since they cannot speak, they need help getting our
attention. And that is exactly what the OurPets® Intelligent Pet Care™ line of
products (http://dtn.fm/1qVBg) is designed to do.
Dr. Tsengas is right. Earlier this year Nature World
News reported (http://dtn.fm/5ySP7) on a study of border collies conducted
jointly by the London School of Economics (LSE) and the University of Edinburgh
which ‘found… dogs have measurable IQs, much like people’. Border collies, used
as sheep dogs, are particularly smart. Stanley Coren, a canine expert and
professor emeritus at the University of British Columbia, found that the
average border collie, poodle or German shepherd was on par with two-year-olds
in terms of language. In basic arithmetic, ‘they would trump a 3- or
4-year-old’ (http://dtn.fm/PI9nk).
At the National Pet Industry Trade Show on September
17-18, at the International Centre Mississauga in Canada, Kathleen Homyock,
vice president of sales and business development, talked about how OurPets®
intelligent technology accessories might ‘talk’ for pets and enable their
owners to monitor their health and wellbeing in a presentation titled
‘Technology Translated to Food, Fun and Fitness’ (http://dtn.fm/2qUer).
Homyock’s presentation highlighted the OurPets®
Intelligent Pet Care™ line, the industry’s first pet care lifestyle brand that
offers a complete line of smart products for monitoring pets’ health. The
Intelligent Pet Care™ line leverages a combination of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
technologies to empower pets to indicate their needs, enabling a stronger
connection between pet and owner for more complete care. The products in the
line are controlled and accessed through the IntelligentPetLink™ smartphone
app.
The line includes the SmartScoop® – Intelligent Litter
Box (http://dtn.fm/UR4xf), which uses infrared technology to sense when your
cat goes in and out of the box. It, accordingly, engages a mechanism that
scoops the waste into a bin, simultaneously making a report via Bluetooth® to
the smartphone app.
A SmartLink™ Tag (http://dtn.fm/j77H1) can be attached
to your pet’s collar. When paired with the OurPets® Intelligent Pet Care™
products, it allows monitoring. If your pet is wearing it, the SmartLink™
Waterer- Intelligent Water Fountain (http://dtn.fm/7ROrs) will use Bluetooth®
technology to dispense filtered water from its reservoir through a two-tier
waterfall design.
The SmartLink™ Feeder – Intelligent Pet Bowl
(http://dtn.fm/Dt2ZJ), which employs the same technology, regulates and
monitors your pet’s feeding regime. And the SmartLink™ Gateway – Wi-Fi Pet Care
Connector (http://dtn.fm/6HiOt) converts a short-range Bluetooth® signal into a
long-range Wi-Fi signal so you can monitor your pets’ outside of the home.
