Tech Gifts for Pet Lovers
When I am not surfing the web, learning to code or working on my blog, I am most often spending time caring for and playing with my menagerie of animals. I am a sucker for a cute face which means I have a house full of all kinds of animals and they are a huge part of my life. Although writing a tech blog doesn’t often lend itself to writing about my animals very often. However, as a techie and an animal lover, I am always interested in new tech gadgets for pets. So I couldn’t help but gather a list of cool tech gifts for the pet lovers in your life.

iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum with Wi-Fi Connectivity, Works with Alexa, Ideal for Pet Hair, Carpets, Hard Floors
Two years ago, I received a Roomba 980 as a Christmas gift and it remains one of my all-time favorite gifts! My Roomba (who I have named Carson) runs pretty much every day. I love that I no longer have fur-ball dust bunnies threatening to take over my home! Before receiving my Roomba, I was a little skeptical as to how good a robot vacuum could be?! :: insert raised eyebrow emoji here:: I have a menagerie of animals in my home but Carson does an amazing job with all the pet hair. And with very little daily maintenance he just keeps going. He definitely does a better job than I was doing without him!

I need to get that cat laser toy for my cat–I bet she’d love it!!
I definitely wouldn’t mind a self-cleaning litter box too!
With 3 cats of my own, I would like to have a couple self-cleaning litter boxes!! Right now I am the only one cleaning litter boxes! L-)
That Roomba looks awesome! I have a central vacuum but it’s been broken for awhile and I haven’t gotten around to making hubby fix it yet. Using the dustpan and broom is getting old fast, especially with 5 cats.
I had no idea half of these items existed! I have 3 dogs, and the idea of keeping my eye on them and tossing them treats when I’m not home is my favorite!!!
I would have loved that small dog ball launcher when I was a child and had a miniature poodle as a beloved pet. We played fetch endlessly in my family’s backyard but of course a kid’s arms tire after a while even though the doggie is still rarin’ to go. Nice choices of pet gifts in this post.
I really need the Roomba, the fur blowing across the floor drives me crazy. The cat laser is great exercise for the cats. Thanks for posting.
Carson (my Roomba) is the BEST thing ever!!! I was skeptical at first but he has been corralling my dust bunnies and tumbleweeds of fur for two years now and has made my life much happier!
