Dog friendly TV remote
The dog friendly TV remote has been designed keeping in mind the dog paws and their drooling habits. It has been cleverly made from tough waterproof plastic. The color of the remote is blue and yellow, since dogs are red and green color blind but have a very good eyesight for blue and yellow. Giant buttons with raised surfaces make it easy to switch channels and it gives off low-frequency squeaks that appeal the dogs.
Illyena Hirsky-Douglas, a researcher at University of Central Lancashire, collaborated with pet food brand Wagg to create the world’s first television remote just for dogs.
A researcher in animal computer interaction said, “Our studies shows the average dog now watches more than nine hours of TV a week, showing technology is already playing a huge part in our pets’ lives.”
Reeves was quoted as saying, “We know that people can feel a little guilty about leaving their dogs in a room alone for a short while — whether it’s to pop to the shops or cook dinner in the kitchen. We wanted to create something that would keep the dog entertained and reassure owners of their well-being.”
