Ford Noise-Cancelling Kennel

If you're a dog owner, you know how disturbing big noises like fireworks can be for your pet. To address the issue, Ford took the active noise-canceling technology they use in vehicles and placed it into a tent-shaped doghouse. The kennel was built using acoustic isolation panels, soundproof ventilation, anti-vibration block risers, and an automatic door. When microphones inside the kennel detect the sound of fireworks, a built-in audio system emits opposing frequencies to cancel out or significantly reduce the noise and protect your dog's super sensitive hearing. The kennel is currently only a prototype but could have a major impact on the lives of pets if brought to market.

Petronics Mousr Interactive Cat Toy

Give your feline friend something to do when you're away with the Petronics Mousr Interactive Cat Toy. This robotic gadget has a long motorized tail that flicks through the air, enticing your pet to play with it. Sensors on the front and top let it explore its surroundings, know when your cat is nearby, and attempt to flip itself over should it get knocked upside down. It has three automatic play styles to match your cat's personality and mood, as well as a fully manual mode when you want to control the action yourself.

TSA Canine Adoption Program

The Transportation Security Administration utilizes dogs in many capacities. Some of them, for whatever reason, don't make the cut for government work. Those dogs, as well as those retired from service, are entered into the TSA Canine Adoption Program. Dogs available through the program are crate-trained, highly active, and need a loving home. As you'd expect from any TSA-related service, you have to go through a screening process, but once you're approved, they'll match you with a dog. From there, you'll need to travel to San Antonio, TX with a leash, collar and appropriate-sized crate, meet your pooch, and head home, new family member in tow.

Atlas Lifetime Dog Leash

Handmade in the USA from high-quality rope, the Atlas Lifetime Dog Leash is meant to be the last you'll ever have to buy. The rope's woven structure holds up to any weather and can withstand far more chewing than traditional leads. It's finished with plastic joints designed to handle loads of up to 1,000 pounds and a stainless steel lobster clip. Available in a variety of colors.

Deauville Dog House

Give your pooch some shelter without making your house look like a PetCo with the Deauville Dog House. It apes the traditional dog house shape with an extended roofline on one side and is built from premium materials like powder coated steel that will stand up to years of use. There's also an elongated window for ventilation, and multiple slits in the roof to let in light.

Moncler x Poldo Dog Apparel

Poldo is known for its high-end canine outfits. Moncler is known for its down jackets and other sportswear. Moncler x Poldo Dog Apparel is a result of a collaboration between the two, bringing Italian style sensibilities to your pup's winter wardrobe. The collection includes a four-legged version of Moncler's signature nylon vests and jackets, as well as a knit sweater.

Moai Robotic Aquarium Cleaner

Being a good fish owner means keeping their habitat clean. Make sure it happens on schedule without even getting your hands wet with the Moai Robotic Aquarium Cleaner. This roughly iPhone-sized robot uses an ultrasound navigation system to know where it is and where it's already cleaned. The electronics, including a built-in camera, sit on the outside of the tank and attach to the cleaning pad via powerful magnets. With built-in Wi-Fi, you can schedule cleanings, check in on things, and even capture 1080p HD video or time lapses right from your phone. Available in standard and Plus versions, the latter designed for use on thicker glass.

Water Garden Fish Tank

No one enjoys cleaning out their fish's tank. With the Water Garden Fish Tank, you'll never have to worry with that again. It leverages aquaponics — a closed-loop system that uses the fish's waste as plant food and the plants as a filter — to give you a small tabletop herb garden while keeping your fish happy and healthy. The package includes a coupon for the fish, as well as tank-rated gravel, organic seeds, natural fertilizer, fish food, and a quiet submersible circulation pump.

Norrom Aquarium

Even the most design-forward fish tanks generally have to deal with unsightly cables hanging from their lids and air pumps that noisily rattle on the countertop nearby. The Norrom Aquarium uses a smart, elegant design to overcome both these issues. Its innovative system uses a light-diffusing bubble tube, hidden mirroring, and power from the base to leave the lid cable-free, while the aforementioned base holds not only the air pump but hides an advanced filter system underneath the rocks. It has a 40 liter capacity, with room for a wide variety of fish and other creatures, and has interchangeable lids and bases that let you alter the look of the tank to suit your mood or changing decor. Designed in Sweden, built in the UK.

Nuzzle GPS Pet Collar

Even indoor pets escape from time to time. Ensure you'll be able to track yours down with the Nuzzle GPS Pet Collar. This waterproof gadget works with your existing collar and uses a combination of GPS positioning and cellular connectivity to alert you should your furry friend wander outside a designated area. It also monitors the ambient temperature, letting you know if it's too hot or cold, and has impact detection, telling you immediately if they've been in an accident. Best of all, there's no monthly fee to worry about, which means more money for toys and treats.

Darwin Jellyfish Tank

Blurring the lines between life under the water and above sea level, the Darwin Jellyfish Tank is one of the most elegant ways to display and observe these curious creatures. Because they're such poor swimmers, the tank incorporates a custom StreamMaker pump that aspirates the water without harming the jellies. The curved glass dome acts like a magnifying glass to help you better see your aquatic pets, and the built-in LEDs let them make impressive shadows on the wall as they swim about.

Puphaus

You've got a modern house. Time to get rid of that Snoopy-style doghouse in the yard and give your companion digs worthy of sitting beside your domicile. The Puphaus is exactly that. Atlanta-based Pyramd Design Co. drew inspiration from modern architecture to create this doggy dwelling, using western red cedar and gray portland cement board for the construction materials and designing such that it packs flat for shipping yet assembles in just five tool-less steps. It has integrated food and water bowls, adjustable feet for leveling, a floating roof for increased circulation, and supports pets weighing up to 50 lbs.

Petnet SmartFeeder

Automatic pet feeders are nothing new. Thankfully, the SmartFeeder is far more than an automatic feeder. Using advanced algorithms, this feeder and app combo finds the ideal food recipes based on your pet's description. It also records your pet's eating and weight history, recommending changes in its diet as needed — even going so far as to analyze food selections for potential allergens — can inform you when your pet's food is running low, order and have it delivered to your house and, yes, automatically feed your pet when you're away, whether via a predetermined schedule, or on demand via a remote trigger from your phone, tablet, or computer.

Lishinu Dog Leash

Face it — retractable leashes suck — they're hard to use, with inconvenient buttons, and they're uncomfortable for dogs, letting them pull out the line until they choke themselves. But it doesn't have to be that way. The Lishinu Dog Leash is the evolution of the retractable leash: you wear it on your wrist, freeing up your hands, while its button-less design lets you use natural motion to automatically lock the lead. Available in a range of attractive colors, it's compact, durable, and great looking. And with a handle-like extension on the collar, you can get a handle on your dog in crowded spaces where it doesn't make sense to let them loose.

Aesop Animal Wash

Let's face it, with everything your pet gets into — whether it's a run through the dog park, a dip in the river, or a roll in something nasty in your backyard — from time-to-time, he's bound to get a little stinky. So when the funk starts to get unbearable, it's time to give him a rinse with Aesop Animal Wash. Made to be gentle on even the most sensitive dogs and cats, this skin and fur wash gets your pet clean while eliminating undesirable odor. Made from plenty of natural oils and extracts, it leaves your animal with a fresh aroma of mint and citrus — which is probably a lot better than what he used to smell like.

WhistleGPS Dog Monitor

Dogs enjoy roaming around. They also tend to be rather precious to their owners, which is why we're hesitant to let them off the leash. With the WhistleGPS Dog Monitor, you won't have to worry (as much). This small weatherproof monitor uses GPS and Sub-GHz cellular technology to keep tabs on your pooch, periodically syncing its location with Whistle's servers or letting you locate them on demand. Using the app, you can see where they are and where they've been, all for just $5 a month — which is a pretty small price to pay for added piece of mind.

Whistle Dog Activity Monitor

Of course you take your pet to the vet — but you've always wondered if you could do something more to keep him healthy. Track their days. Make sure they are getting proper rest and play. Set goals for their walks. Check in on them while you are away. That is where Whistle ($130) comes in. From monitoring day-to-day behavior to long-term health trends, Whistle is able to ensure you are doing everything for your best friend. It lives unobtrusively on your dog's collar, updating wirelessly to your phone (using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity) and sharing highlights of your pet's activities. With its waterproof construction and 10 days of battery life, Whistle is ready for anything.

Filson Dog Bowl

Let's face it, your dog wasn't bred to sit around at home in his bed while you spend your time outdoors having all the fun. No — he wants to be right out there with you, and with the Filson Dog Bowl, he can, no matter if you're hunting, hiking, shooting, traveling, or camping. It's collapsible, so it easily folds down to fit into a pack pocket, while the included loop lets you attach it to just about anything. Get yours in either blaze orange nylon or water-repellent tan tin cloth. Your dog will thank you.

Biorb Flow Aquarium

When you want to add an attractive water element to your desk, the Biorb Flow Aquarium ($130) is the right place to start. It includes everything you need for a working aquarium, just supply some living things — they suggest small fish or shrimp — and water. Its small profile (only 15 inches by 10 inches) won't dominate all the space in your cubicle, making it perfectly-suited for work. Acrylic construction is ten times stronger than glass, so you don't have to worry too much about your overzealous cleaning crew. It also only uses 12 volts of power, so you won't break the bank keeping the filter running.

Garmin Astro Dog Tracking System

Anyone who hunts with dogs knows how helpful they can be — and what a pain it can be to keep track of them. The Garmin Astro Dog Tracking System ($530) lets you track up to ten sporting dogs at once, with the convenience of a customizable GPS device. It has a range of up to nine miles, thanks to a steel VHF antenna. The top-mounted GPS/GLONASS receiver gives it excellent location performance. Bark detection lets you know when your dog has spotted something, even if he's out of range. A rescue mode helps preserve battery for a longer period of time, in case you and your dog get separated.

Tactical Dog Leash

Brass knuckles meet pet care in the Tactical Dog Leash ($25). This industrial-strength leash features an ergonomically designed, knuckle-held polymer handle and a tough 1" x 48" nylon lead with quick release clips on both ends. We're not really sure what's tactical about taking your pooch out to potty — unless you're planning on leaving a surprise in the yard of a jerk neighbor — but we are sure that your dog will have a much more difficult time getting away with your hand wrapped around this thing.

Ruff Bowl

It's nearly universal: if you own a dog in an urban area, odds are you walk it using some sort of retractable leash, and need to scoop up its droppings after it's done doing its business. The Ruff Bowl ($8) is designed for exactly these situations. It clips easily onto most retractable leashes, holds used poop bags away from your hand, and can hold up to 4.5 oz. of water when it's time for Fido to take a drink.

Umbra Fish Hotel

Let's be honest: your fish probably doesn't care what his surroundings look like, just so long as his water is clean and he's well fed. But you have to look at his bowl/tank every day, so you might as well make it stylish. The Umbra Fish Hotel ($35) certainly qualifies, featuring the clean, boxy lines of a modern home, a glass bowl, an ABS pastic facade, and a stackable design that lets you build an entire condo full of fishy friends.

Super Collar

When your lovable turd factory needs to go out, sometimes it's a dire situation in which every second counts. And if your leash never seems to be where you left it, the Super Collar ($50) will be your new best friend. This collar-and-leash hybrid has a retractable 36-inch leash built right in that's made up of two coated steel cables with over 100lbs of break strength each. It's got waterproof polypro webbing and 3M Scotchlite reflective accents for those nighttime sessions.

Fishscape Fish Bowl

Give your aquatic friend a living space upgrade with the Fishscape Fish Bowl ($140). Designed to hold 2.5 gallons of water, this handmade glass bowl features a unique bottom texture that appears as a mountainous landscape from the side. Sure, your fish might not notice the difference, but you will — and isn't that the point anyway?

Jellyfish Tank

Desktop-sized fish tanks are pretty common. Desktop-sized jellyfish tanks are not. This Jellyfish Tank ($350) was developed from the ground up specifically for Medusozoa by the experts at Jellyfish Art, and features full-spectrum energy efficient LEDs for illumination, an air diffuser for maximum oxygenation, built-in biological, chemical, and mechanical filtration, a bubble channel to shield the jellyfish from the air, and an included voucher good for three of the little menaces as well as a pack of food.
