What does the first remote control for dogs look like, which allows you to change programs on TV

If you are among the dog owners who feel guilty for leaving their animals alone at home, and are without occupation, here is how a British company has learned a remote control for dogs.

The functions of the remote control allow both changing the programs on the TV and monitoring the quadrupeds from a distance. The oversized remote control is made of water-resistant plastic material, so that if the animal starts to gnaw it, it will not cause damage. It has big buttons and dogs can press to turn the TV on or off, change the channel, etc.

The buttons chirp when pressed and the device also has a hole through which a rope can be attached so that dogs can pull it around the house.

"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."

Another function of the remote control is the remote control program through a smartphone application, which allows owners to find out if their pet is really watching TV. The remote control will be available for purchase soon, currently still in the prototype stage.
