Pet Tech on Pet Life Radio (PetLifeRadio.com‪)‬ Ken Jones

Rus and Kelly Wilson from Aquarimax.com join Ken to discuss the technology of water maintenance: the quintessential overview of filters and filtration.

Over time, water gets old, "thick" with chemicals and organics. There are end products of decay that don't get removed until diluted out with a water change. As Russ says, ‘Dilution is the solution to pollution.’ And according to Kelly, ‘surface area’ is something to sing about! However, water treatment and filtration can be very important aids between water changes.

Har-Vest is a 3-in-1 backpack for dogs. It functions as a no-pull harness, backpack/vest with zippered pockets and an ID badge holder, and handle, and has a calming effect to help overwhelming dogs calm down and overwhelmed dogs feel more confident. Isn’t it time your dog carried his share? Rachel Friedman, inventor and CEO is going to give us the history and the technology behind this versatile product. And yes, the Har-vest would be a perfect companion to the SideKick (below).



Inventor and CEO of Sidekick for Pets, Barbara Pietra, will tell us about her quest to create a "car seat" restraint product for pets. Sidekick solves the potentially life-threatening problem of having animals loose in the car. No more dangerous distractions. No more worry of a pet being thrown about the car when having to put on the brakes suddenly. No more threat of a dog falling out the window. If not kept in a carrier, every traveling pet should have such a device. And its very cozy, too! Traveling restraints for pets in cars may be coming to your community as a legal requirement soon. Learn about it now.
