The SNIF Tag

Poodles Wearing SNIF Tag

In a nutshell, the new SNIF Tag is a way to remotely monitor your dogs activities, and use social networking to connect with other SNIF Tag dog owners. More specifically, you can actually see what your dog is doing in real time. A visual representation will show you when your dog is sleeping, walking, trotting, or running. The activities of your dog are stored in the SNIF Tag database, enabling you to check for monthly activity level trends. When your dog encounters another dog with a SNIF Tag, the tags electronically exchange information and the encounter is recorded. With the social networking aspect of SNIF Tag, you can see how the activity level of your dog stacks up with other dogs. You can build an online SNIF Tag profile that is similar to MySpace, but with your dogs data and photos. You can also connect with local SNIF Tag dog owners with the social networking aspect, and arrange to get together for play time.

For someone that loves to play with gadgets, the SNIF Tag would be a lot of fun. IMO, they could have made it more useful by connecting it with a global positioning device, that would help you find your dog if lost. It is priced at $149.99, although they are offering to refund $30 of that price to an animal welfare organization of your choice.
