Featured Kickstarter: FitBark

By Ross
As a life long dog owner there is no worse sight than an obese dog, but with people working longer hours and our foods becoming increasingly full of fats and sugars it is becoming all too common. This latest Kickstarter aims to help with this problem.

Pickles seems quite ready to be a part of the fun.
The FitBark is a small water resistant pedometer that fits on your dogs collar and tracks their activity throughout the day. It is then synced to your on-line profile via Bluetooth, to either your phone or PC.  The on-line profile is the real innovation as it not only allows you to view your dog’s activities but more importantly gives you access to a community who can offer advice and help with keeping your dog healthy and happy!
You can pre-order FitBark for $99 or with the base station for $169 from there Kickstarter site. They are going to be available in a variety of colours.  For more information check out there Kickstarter page via the link below.
You can contribute from only a dollar. Watch the video below to learn more as well as use the tracker below to keep an eye on them. 

Becca, our Editor, had the following to say:
FitBark?! Sounded bonkers to me at first but then it started to make an odd kind of sense. We spoil our pets in so many ways already that why not ensure they’re as fit as they could be. Sadly, I’m not sure it would work for me or rather for my Alsatian/Collie cross Riley. Riley is easily the laziest dog I’ve ever owned. He sits down at the end of our road and refuses to walk any further. Throw him a ball in the garden, he’ll run after it, catch it then have a little nap. He even gets bored of chasing his own tail. 
But if I had a puppy and was keen to maintain him in tiptop condition then I would definitely consider one of these. It would also be an interesting way of keeping track of your pooch when he’s in kennels or has a dog sitter. 
See, it’s not such a bonkers idea now!
