The nickel got you poked...]]>Feb 9th 2010 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/
But wait! For all those who forget to push the Doggie Minder™ button. There's the Doggie Minder Reminder™! Just hang it from your own neck, this Doggie Minder Reminder™ gives you a slight zap of electricity to remind you or your good for nothing kids to push the f'n Doggie Minder™ button and not forget about it so the whole point of this device is ruined.

It's hard to feasibly record heart rate on an animal with a mobile monitor.

What I was expecting, however, was RFID in a water bowl and food dish. I don't pour 3 squares a day for my dogs.

Why would I need a reminder of the last time If my dog ate if I was freaking THERE every time?

Engraving their name and my telephone number on a piece of metal makes for a better tag.]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/
I thought it was for keeping track of where your dog had run off to. That would actually be something useful.]]>Feb 9th 2010 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/

A lot of great marketing surrounds building insecurity and fear. you NEED to know this CRUCIAL information! You will be safer and more secure if you buy this stuff!

It works really well. A lot of people will buy this product. I bet it outsells every non-self help or politics book in America in a year (those books are also marketted on fear).

So to answer your question: a lot of people are this stupid. ]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/Feb 9th 2010 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/Feb 9th 2010 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/
HAHAHA!

I'm with you on this one. This can be very helpful for keeping track of when you last gave the heart-worm pill or flea medication.

Also that situation that's in the video has happened multiple times for me, my wife feeds the dogs, leaves the house, and then I end up feeding them again.]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/
Cell phone alarm. That's how I do it. Most phones have multiple alarms.

I think if you actually remember to check this passive tag, you already remembered to feed the dog.

That's the thing about dogs: they tell you when they need food and water. For medicine, I use alarms that will actually tell me if I forget. Telling me I forgot for a few days straight, when I remember to check the tag, is pretty worthless.]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/Feb 9th 2010 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/Feb 9th 2010 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/
You will think that it would be impossible fro a daycare to forget to feed a kid... but ... you gotta see some daycares....

They don't try to eat the whole blasted bowl of food at once when I set it out for them...When the bowls are empty, I fill them. Simple enough. Smart dogs FTW...]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/Feb 9th 2010 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/Oh, those overeating dogs that require careful regulation of food intake are out there...Typically they had been abandoned at some point or have fear for some other reason that their food source will suddenly disappear.

I guess most well adjusted, well loved dogs (stupid or smart) won't gorge themselves if they realize that food will be there whenever they are hungry.]]>Feb 9th 2010 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/Feb 9th 2010 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/Feb 9th 2010 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/No need to dread that day, just feed him less at both feedings and get him out for exercise more often. Like people, most dogs that are allowed to eat too much and get too little exercise, will start to pack on the pounds. The good thing about dogs is they normally, can shed the weight pretty quickly, with a few changes in the amount they are given to eat at any one time (for those that bolt it down) and getting out more often for walks.]]>Feb 9th 2010 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/dog-e-minder-keeps-tabs-on-your-dogs-vitals-so-you-dont-have-t/Feb 9th 2010 10:11PM
