NEWEST INNOVATIONS FOR PETS

One of the most exciting innovations is the PetPace AI Health Monitoring Collar. It is more than just a common activity tracker—it’s clinically validated to deliver real-time health insights, analytics, and alerts. It is the only one that monitors vital signs like pulse, respiration, temperature, and detects signs of pain before symptoms appear. It also includes built-in 24/7 telemedicine with licensed vets. PetPace allows pet owners to stay ahead of potential health issues and make more informed decisions about their pet’s care and overall well-being. It is $100 off in May at PetPace.com.

KEEP PETS SAFE

This time of year, many homeowners are busy taking care of their yards, so it is important to choose products that are safe for use around their pets. Spruce Weed and Grass Killer is a pet-friendly and weed-deadly alternative for this National Pet Month. Spruce is safe for use around people, pets, and even bees when used as directed. It also works fast with visible results in as little as an hour. The Spruce EZ-AIM is perfect for grab-and-go spot treatment, and the Power Wand is made for easy refills so spend less time weeding and more time enjoying the outdoors with pets.

SOMETHING PET OWNERS OFTEN OVERLOOK

Something a lot of pet owners overlook is that treats are not just extras, they can actually make up a meaningful part of a pet’s daily intake. For cats, try INABA’s Churu Complete, it is that lickable experience cats are obsessed with while being fully nutritious. It comes in a variety of textures and flavors and is made up of high-quality ingredients plus essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, taurine, and fish oil to support coat health. Churu Complete is also incredibly hydrating with up to 88% moisture, which is so important as many cats may not drink enough water. Find it at walmart.com
