Dogs' ears are so sensitive they can hear ultrasonic sounds that humans cannot detect.

When pets go missing, especially during harsh weather, the search can be daunting. But thanks to high-tech drones, locating lost pets has become faster and more efficient. Equipped with thermal cameras, these drones can scan vast areas in record time. They work be detecting heat signatures from animals, even in challenging conditions like snowstorms.

Josh Nicholas, a drone pilot from Poland, Ohio, uses his FAA-certified drones for just this purpose. His drones can cover thousands of acres in a few hours—much faster than any human search could manage. "Our drone can cover so much ground in an hour that would take you days to walk," he says.

One recent success story involves Winter, a golden retriever who went missing during a snowstorm. After hours of searching with no success, Winter’s owners turned to Josh’s service. Thanks to the drone’s thermal camera, Winter was found curled up on a cliff, mere feet from dangerous coyote dens.

While these drone rescues start at $250, pet owners like Winter’s family say the peace of mind—and the return of their beloved pet—is priceless.

Feeding time can quickly become a hectic event in a multi-pet household. Between pets with different feeding schedules, varying portion sizes, and the potential for one hungry pet to steal another's food, mealtime can feel chaotic. This is where automatic feeders come in handy.

Automatic feeders allow you to schedule feeding times and control portions, ensuring every pet gets their fair share without any mess or stress. Whether you're dealing with a pet that needs a special diet or just trying to manage multiple pets with different hunger levels, these feeders take the guesswork out of feeding.

Additionally, automatic feeders can prevent overeating or food hoarding, which can lead to obesity or health issues. Many models also feature timers or voice recordings for when you're not home to supervise.

🤔 Did You Know: Dogs' ears are incredibly sensitive, and they can detect a wide range of frequencies that humans cannot. One example of this is the dog whistle, which typically emits a sound in the ultrasonic range—usually around 23,000 Hz to 54,000 Hz. Humans can't hear it, but dogs can hear it very clearly.
