SpotOn GPS Fence Nova Edition
Credit: SpotOn
SpotOn focused on precision and reliability with the launch of the SpotOn GPS Fence Nova Edition. This is a GPS dog fence system designed to create virtual fences anywhere, from small yards to massive rural properties, with no subscription required.
What sets Nova apart is its advanced antenna and receiver system. SpotOn uses a dual-band, dual-feed active antenna paired with a dual-band receiver that reduces GPS drift by up to 40 percent and delivers accuracy up to eight times better than competing systems. In third-party testing, it achieved 100 percent reliable containment.
Owners can create unlimited fences by walking boundaries, drawing them in the app, or placing GPS fenceposts automatically. The collar also includes intelligent audio cues, optional static correction, custom voice commands, LED prompts, and sizing that grows with your dog. If a dog ever leaves the fence, tracking tools are available through the app or SpotOn support. Available in the US and Canada for $999.

The system logs daily frequency and duration, builds long-term reports you can review in the app, and even recognizes each cat individually, making it especially helpful in multi-cat homes.
It works with most standard and automatic litter boxes and installs easily without changing your setup. Privacy protection is built in, with recording triggered only when your cat is actually in view. You also get a free month of premium features, with optional continued monitoring plans available afterward.

The Chom Chom Roller Pet Hair Remover and Reusable Lint Roller is a simple and effective way to remove pet hair and lint from your furniture, couch, carpet, clothing, and bedding. Unlike other lint rollers that use sticky tape, the Chom Chom Roller uses a patented brush system that creates an electrostatic charge to attract and trap hair and lint. You just need to roll it back and forth over the surface you want to clean, and then empty the hair and lint from the waste compartment. The Chom Chom Roller is portable and multi-surface, so you can use it on any fabric or material that your pet likes to shed on. The Chom Chom Roller is the perfect solution for pet owners who love their furry friends but hate the mess they leave behind.
