This is a great invention for all dog lovers! One girl noticed her rescue dog, Kayla the golden retriever seemed to be developing separation anxiety as the family’s life got busier and busier. She wanted a way to be able to connect with Kayla and give her a treat even when nobody was home so she got to brainstorming and came up with a totally different kind of idea that she named “icPooch.” After building the first prototype in her garage with her dad, the 14 year old tested it on her beloved golden.
She reports since she started using icPooch with Kayla, her separation anxiety has improved. While there’s nothing quite like being there to give a dog a belly rub or treat in person, I still have to hand it to her. This is a great way to check in with your fur kid throughout the day and share a little lunchtime treat.
