For most of us, our pets aren’t simply pets! They’re our children and babies we consider our own blood. We take care of them the way we would take care of our own kids, and leave no stone unturned to ensure they are happy, healthy, and safe. If you’re looking for a new and improved way to take better care of your pet then you may want to look into Tavo’s latest product – the Maeve Pet Protection System. Tavo is another creation from the makers of Nuna who build top-of-the-line baby gear. And their Maeve Pet Protection System is designed to provide your pets with the ultimate comfort and safety.

Designer: Tavo

While building the Maeve Pet Protection System, Tavo utilized the decades of research, development, testing, and engineering that have been carried out at Nuna. Tavo made use of this valuable information to create the perfect system that allows you to seamlessly take your pet from your home to the car and finally to the desired location – whether it’s a vet appointment or some fun adventure. The Maeve Pet Protection System includes a carrier and a vehicle base for the carrier which is reminiscent of a child’s car seat.

However, if you need to carry your pet beyond a car then you can opt for the Roscoe stroller frame as well. When used together Maeve and Roscoe team up to create Tavo’s 3-in-1 Protection System which provides your pets with the ultimate safety and comfort while traveling, putting you at complete ease. Tavo utilizes the latest United Nations ECE child restraint standards to provide the highest degree of safety and protection. You can travel peacefully with your pet knowing they are safe and secure.

Much like Nuna, Tavo also pays complete attention to aesthetics and comfort. The Maeve carrier is available in five color options – Onyx, Fawn, Merle, Sable, and Brindle, while the strollers are accentuated with vegan leather details in classic color options such as black, cognac, and chocolate. So, you can pick and choose the colors that perfectly complement your aesthetic as well as your pets!

Garmin’s reputation for innovation and excellence in navigation technology has earned it the trust and admiration of users worldwide. From avid hikers to professional pilots, Garmin is the go-to choice for reliable, accurate, and user-friendly GPS solutions. But what if Garmin expanded its expertise to a different kind of navigation?

Pet lovers and dog enthusiasts could get a reason to celebrate if Garmin rolled out something like the Alpha T20/TT25 dog tracker and training device. Designed by talented Shawn Wang for Garmin, Alpha dog tracker represents a leap forward in pet tracking and training. It offers a range of user-friendly features designed to enhance the training experience and provide real-time tracking of your beloved pet with Garmin’s trust.

Designer: Shawn Wang

As pet owners, we understand the importance of keeping our furry companions safe but often don’t realize that training is the cornerstone of a well-behaved and happy pet. Shawn understands this well and has therefore embedded the dog tracker with a combination of vibrations and sound tones to communicate with your dog during training sessions. This approach makes it easy to teach your dog new commands, discourage unwanted behaviors, and reinforce positive actions.

With the Alpha dog tracker, training your dog could become convenient. The collar offers an intuitive and humane way to establish communication between you and your pal, as gentle vibrations and sound tones help your pet understand your commands and improve obedience, fostering a deeper bond between you and your dog.

This is only a part of what the Alpha dog tracker – as the name has it – can pull off. Embedded with a GPS tracking system, the tracker allows you to monitor your dog’s location in real-time, up to an impressive range of 9 miles. Whether you’re exploring the great outdoors or letting your dog roam in a secure area, you can rest assured that you will always know where your pet is.

The Alpha dog collar with a fabric strap works in conjunction with a compatible hand-held system, which enables you to keep tabs on your dog’s whereabouts. To enhance the dog tracker’s functionality, it is also provided with built-in flashlights for illumination in low-light conditions, ensuring you can always see your pet even in the dark. To keep the functions running, you get a rechargeable battery onboard the collar, which is attached to a convenient USB port for charging. With its user-friendly training features, real-time GPS tracking, built-in flashlights, and rechargeable battery, Alpha dog collar combines functionality with convenience for both the human and their pet.

Cats are perhaps the most adaptable creatures around. They’re perfectly independent in the wild, have the same survival instincts in the urban jungle, and even when kept indoors, are just as capable of figuring stuff out. A lot of that boils down to the cat being an innately curious, hands-on animal that isn’t afraid to say no to a new challenge. Designed for these cats, the Mocats Multifunctional Cat Furniture lets indoor cats have a taste of the outdoor world. Shaped like a city skyline, the adaptable, modular furniture gives cats their own buildings, apartments, and roofs to explore and conquer. The modular design allows cat-parents to build out the kind of toy that fits their space perfectly. Undulating rooftops add a wonderful touch to the home’s decor, while providing a uniquely intricate piece of furniture for your cat to explore and rest in.

Designer: La Jato del Gato

The brains behind Mocats are a pair of architects and devoted cat owners who understand the delicate balance between feline comfort and human aesthetics. Their inspiration stems from the idea of creating adaptable spaces that cater to the ever-changing needs of cats and their owners. In short, when your cats grow in size or in numbers (or even when they get bored of the old layout), the Mocats can be expanded or altered to keep your furry friends engaged. These cat-scale spaces are built on the principles of flexibility and growth, ensuring that your pet’s furniture evolves with them.

Mocats takes the interaction between humans and cats to a new level. The act of assembling each module and configuring various circuits becomes a bonding experience between human and cat. Owners are given the freedom to choose the pieces and configurations that suit their lifestyle, enhancing the connection between them and their feline companions.

At the heart of Mocats is its modular design, which allows your cat to scratch, climb, hide, observe, sleep, and play to their heart’s content. But it doesn’t stop there – these eco-friendly furniture pieces seamlessly integrate into your home’s decor, adapting to your lifestyle and available spaces. Crafted from cardboard and plywood, Mocats utilizes a manufacturing process that excludes toxic additives, only relying on traditional fixtures like dowels and washers, and ensuring the safety and well-being of your pets. Digital design programs and laser cutting technology are employed to create precise templates and components, bringing down production costs while making assembly a breeze.

The Mocats Multifunctional Cat Furniture is a Silver Winner of the A’ Design Award for the year 2023.

Designed by Finland-based studio Kanto in collaboration with Kvadrat, whose fabrics are found in the world’s most famous and iconic institutions (the MoMA and Guggenheim), these dog beds are truly stylish and elegant. These beds are designed to promote canine well-being, providing them with comfort, without clashing with the surrounding interior design of the home.

The Kanto x Kvadrat Collection consists of two sophisticated designs – Luoto and Oksa. Luoto is a supportive circular bed that is ideal for long napping sessions, while Oksa features a more traditional design, which is still great for long naps as well! Luoto and Oksa are wrapped in Kvadrat’s deadstock fabrics, signifying the studio’s dedicated commitment to sustainability and excellent standards for design.

The fabrics are created using natural fibers to prevent any allergic reactions. They also scored 45,000 or more on the Martindale test hence proving their extreme durability. The dog beds are available in neutral and warm tones such as olive green, butter yellow, rusty maroon, soft beige, and navy blue. The color options are soothing and complementary to different kinds of interior spaces. The entire collection was designed with special care and consideration to ensure that the pieces harmoniously merge with varied interior styles without infringing on them and proving to be a complete eyesore. So, you can pick the one that suits your mood, vibe, and home!

A winner of the Good Design Award in 2022, the Travel Habitat Carrier by pidan is practically a modular tent for your furry friend. It comes with a spacious, folding design along with two straps that let you wear it like a backpack. Unlike conventional pet backpacks, though, the Travel Habitat Carrier has a flat base that lets your pet sit properly while being transported around. A clear window for viewing and breathable meshed walls also make your pet feel much more comfortable while being transported.

Adjustable curtains provide privacy and security during travel.

Breathable mesh walls enhance air circulation.

If you live in Asia, chances are you’ve either heard of pidan or come across their products as a cat-parent. With multiple international awards under its belt, pidan’s carved a legacy for itself in the cat-care industry as an all-encompassing brand offering an extensive range of feline products, including cat litter, nourishing cat food, convenient travel accessories, innovative dining utensils, practical litter boxes, engaging toys, and more. Created by and for cat-lovers, pidan’s mission is simple – to make a positive impact for the 400 million felines living across the world. The mission doesn’t just stop at domesticated cats, but extends to stray cats too, with the company being heavily involved in the Stray Welfare Program.

The carrier has multiple entrances which the pet can access.

Includes a portable litter box to accommodate pets’ needs during long journeys.

Unfold the Travel Habitat Carrier and it goes from a backpack to a full-blown shelter. The inner compartment doubles in size, giving your pet much more leg-room and also additional facilities like an integrated litter tray for them to go do their business. There’s also enough space within the habitat for placing bowls of food and water, so your feline friend can stretch back and enjoy an indoor-esque experience no matter where you go!

The Travel Habitat Carrier was designed to help you and your pet travel to different places without the hassle of carrying all your cat’s accouterments with you. Its backpack-style design gives you the best of both worlds, allowing you to easily (and comfortably) carry your cat along with you, while also giving your cat a room with a view that doubles up into an airy tent with food and facilities!

The Travel Habitat Carrier comes made with a robust yet easy-to-assemble (and disassemble) form factor, featuring neoprene-padded panels, breathable mesh walls, and YKK zippers. Two points of entry give your pet the flexibility of coming and going as they please, and adjustable curtains also help protect their privacy if they’re just looking for some alone time. The portable litter box is easy to clean and helps accommodate your pet’s needs on long journeys, and additional outer pockets built into the carrier also help you carry toys and treats for your cat… a nice Pavlovian way to help them enjoy traveling!

The pidan collection!

What sets pidan’s Travel Habitat Carrier apart from anything else is just how convenient it is for both pet as well as owner. For the owner, carrying around your cat is easier than ever – more so considering you don’t need to separately carry food, toys, or a litter tray. For the pet, the carrier is quite literally a miniature palace on wheels (or legs, rather). It gives the cat enough room to comfortably sit while being carried, and when opened out into its full habitat, allows your pet to live its best outdoor life, while having the amenities of the indoor life. Does it GET any better?!

It’s sturdy aluminum and high-strength plastic chassis can carry more than half its own weight as payload, making it a versatile companion for various tasks. The robot dog has advanced sensors, including super wide-angle LiDAR and HD cameras, allowing it to map and navigate its surroundings in real-time. This enables the Go2 to walk alongside its owner, avoiding obstacles and adapting to challenging terrains like stairs and rocks. It can run for an hour or two on a battery charge.

One of the most impressive features of the Go2 is its athletic capabilities. With motors that boast 30% more torque than the previous model, the Go2 can perform jaw-dropping jumps, backflips, and even dance on two crossed-over legs. Its exceptional balance allows it to stand on its front two legs and gracefully navigate downstairs.

The Pro model of the Go2 also incorporates a GPT-enabled speech engine, allowing users to have natural language conversations with the robot. Beyond just understanding and responding to verbal requests, the robot attempts to write code for itself, interpreting the user’s intentions and seeking ways to be helpful. While the practical utility of this feature may be limited at the current stage, it showcases the potential for more advanced interactions in the future.

The Go2’s pricing starts at $1,600 for the base model, capable of reaching speeds of 5.6 mph (9 km/h), while the Pro model, priced at $2,800, can go up to 7.8 mph (12.6 km/h). However, the total cost is slightly higher when factoring in additional fees such as the $400 shipping charge and a 25% duty for orders in the USA. Despite this, the Go2 offers an affordable alternative to Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot dog, which costs significantly more, around $75,000.

While the Go2 presents a novel and technologically advanced robotic companion, it may still find its most prominent user base among individuals seeking entertainment and attention. Its ability to capture selfies and pick up items with its robotic arm may be considered practical features. Still, the true allure of the Go2 lies in its entertaining and attention-grabbing capabilities. The capabilities of helping around the house or around with chores are limited as it’s seen replacing getting a glass of water for a quirky dance.

For those seeking an additional layer of security, the Go2 can serve as a guard for your home, showcasing its potential for safety purposes. It can also be helpful for carrying items around and assisting with chores. The absence of the need for constant attention and its self-replicating capabilities add to its appeal as a convenient companion. With user authorization, via OTA Upgrades, the Go2 robot keeps improving and evolving to be smarter as the robot automatically connects to a cloud-based OTA service to upgrade its own programs to continuously improve the user experience.

However, as remarkable as the Go2 is, it cannot replace the innocence and loyalty of conventional pets. Pets often win our hearts with their quirks and acts of loyalty, something that robots may struggle to replicate fully. Nonetheless, the Go2 can coexist with traditional pets, providing a different set of advantages and becoming a complementary addition to the household.

Unitree’s Go2 robot dog represents a significant advancement in robotic companionship, combining agility, conversation, and helpfulness in an affordable package. While it may not replace the charm of a living, breathing pet, it undoubtedly brings a unique blend of technological wonders and entertainment value to those who embrace it. As we continue to witness the evolution of robotics and AI, the Go2 showcases a promising glimpse of the future of human-robot interaction.
