From app-controlled feeders to pumpless water fountains, smart pet gear is changing how we care for our four-legged housemates.

Pet tech has officially arrived — and it’s not just a gimmick. With over two-thirds of Aussie households now home to at least one furry family member, the pet supplies market is tipped to hit $4.1 billion this year.

And the smart pet segment? It's booming. The pet wearable market alone is expected to grow by 12.7% between now and 2030.

In short, tech isn’t just for people anymore. From cleaner litter boxes to dogs that play fetch on their own, innovation is making life easier for pets and their humans.

Here’s a look at the latest gadgets worth adding to your pet’s setup.

Fetch-obsessed dogs, rejoice. This smart toy launches tennis balls at varying angles and distances (up to 30 feet), allowing your pup to play on demand—indoors or outdoors.

Safety sensors keep humans and hounds protected while the fun is in full swing. Bonus: you won’t throw out your shoulder.
