A portable device and a method for a domestic pet to contact its master whenever the pet desires so is disclosed. The device comprises of two units and an interconnecting mechanism between them via
wireless communication methods such as
Bluetooth© or other equivalent RF technologies. The first unit comprises of a circuit board, an antenna, a camera, LCD screen, a speaker, a
microphone and a power source all enclosed in a
water resistant housing. It is designed to be mounted on a wall semi-permanently by means of flanges at the top and sides or by using an S-hook for temporary mounting. The second unit comprises of a pet friendly and safe tactile momentary switch and
dead weight embedded inside it to keep it firmly on the ground. The second unit is designed to be water proof as well to prevent
saliva from pets altering the circuit behaviour. The pet can be very easily trained to tap the pet safe switch whenever it desires to reach out to its master. This action is interpreted by the
electronics to send a
text message and phone call to its master's cellular phone. The device chooses
wireless protocols such as
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and
GSM / GPRS to establish this communication. Once the communication is established, the pet and owner can hear and see other. The sharing of video is under the control of the master. This invention comprises of an app that is installed on the owner's
smart phone to manage all the functions described above. The master can also remotely turn on audio or video of the device to
check in on the pet or monitor its behaviour whenever they desire. A “do not disturb” option on the
smartphone app lets the master ignore interrupts from overactive pets for a
time duration that is configurable in the app itself. Since it is portable, it can be used at home, at a friend's place or even in a pet hotel. The key benefits of this invention is that it reduces stress levels and separation
anxiety in pets and owners whenever they are away. It introduces a new paradigm to pet ownership making it easier for pet owners to be away from their pets without guilt knowing that their pet can stay in touch with them whenever they choose to.
