Last month, I delved into the weird and wonderful world of cat tech. Then afterwards, I felt a little guilty, because really, I'm more of a dog person. My spaniel would not be impressed. To rectify the situation, I've hunted out the best the world of dog tech has to offer. You can see my findings below, ranging from the 'simple and practical' to the 'probably unnecessary, but cool nonetheless'.

Possibly my favorite of all the gadgets I discovered was the Tractive Smart Collar. It's not just a GPS tracker, but more like a canine FitBit. So it'll alert you if your dog has made a break for freedom, but it'll also keep an eye on their behavior and vitals, and report back if there are any changes to the norm.

As someone who regularly finds herself trying to DIY drinking bowls while out and about, the other bit of kit that really caught my eye was the Barky Bottle. It's essentially an insulated bottle with a removable water bowl; a simple, affordable, all-in-one solution to keeping your dog hydrated on-the-go.

Scroll down for more of my top picks, and hit the 'View details' button to find out more about each one.
