Tech for your pets

On April 1, Pocket FM, the audio streaming platform, announced something ‘wild’ — an audio series for animals. “We are unveiling something truly special — the world’s first audio series for our beloved animal friends! But here’s the twist — we have also made sure that humans can join in on the fun, with subtitles added for human convenience,” it said, sharing a small clip of the inter-species audio series, featuring the dogs’ woofs and the birds’ chirps.

While this interesting but too-good-to-be-true idea turned out to be an April Fool’s prank, it gave an idea of the wide-ranging applications technology can have in the pet care space.
