If you have a pet dog at home, then you do understand the woes of leaving your pet alone at home, when you go out for work or other activities. Companion dogs are quite sensitive beings, who can suffer major separation anxiety when left alone in the house even if it is for a few hours. Thankfully, CBD for pets is available to help manage their anxiety but pet toys that are unbreakable, chewable, and interactive are also ideal to keep your pets busy and happy.
According to a report, about 33% of pet dogs in the USA suffer anxiety issues during their lifetime. This also leads to obesity and other health problems. But when the use of products like CBD oil for dogs is used by pet owners to calm them down, it doesn’t come as a surprise, especially if anxiety is an issue their dog suffers from regularly.
Most important as a pet parent, you too lose a lot of mental peace because of your pet’s anxieties and feel guilty about leaving them alone in the house. Considering all these, a Korean startup from Seoul has come up with this unique pet device called Gomi.Ball.
Gomi.Ball – Ease your pet’s separation anxiety and release your guilt.
What is Gomi Ball?
Gomi.Ball is the first product of this tech company named GomiLabs. The robotic ball has been developed by a team of engineers with PhD’s in robotics. Equipped with sensors and algorithms, Gomi.Ball analyses your pet dog’s play patterns and adapts to its play style by adjusting its movements. It has a unique multicolour light system to keep your dog happy and engaged.
Through its autonomous driving and interactions, the ball keeps your pets engaged in playful activities, even when you are away. The owner can access the pet’s behavioural patterns through its smartphone app, which records data of your pets 24 hours of the day. With understanding of pet’s behaviour patterns, you can manually control Gomi and utilise pre-set movements like jumping and spinning. You can upload your pet’s profile on the App and stay connected with your pet from anywhere and anytime of the day.
Gomi. Ball is safe to use for pets
The robotic ball is quite safe and durable pet toy, made from shatterproof polycarbonate materials, which has been approved by the FDA. Gomi can withstand 130 kgs/286lbs of pressure, is fully waterproof and has wireless charging system. The in-built activity-monitor and highly sophisticated Al algorithm not only allows you access to your pet’s behaviours but also gives recommendations and tips to keep your dog healthy. Gomi.Ball has been priced at $169 per unit, which includes the ball, its wireless charger and a USB cable.
There are some alternate products and services existing in the market to reduce anxiety for home-alone pets like hiring pet walkers, giving anti-anxiety medication, or using products like Pebby, Playmate, etc. But the unique aspect of Gomi.Ball is that it doesn’t just provide play options, it also checks exercise patterns and momentum data, which can help in managing health of the companion animal.
