There are no upgrades for pets per se. Our pets do not change. How we as humans bond with animals will not change. However as society becomes more immersed in technology as times goes on we see improvement on how we care for our pets.
With more accurate testing and treatment for disease as well as advancements in the animal surgery realm our pets are living healthier and longer. Microchips have helped reunite lost pets with their owners. Vaccines have prevent disease from running rampant in our pets.
The Internet has become a excellent tool for accessing pet information and products. A pet owner can now in a instant order medications, obtain pet insurance and find out about pet-friendly accommodations. Not to mention the plethora of pet products from toys for entertainment, quality food brands and pet boutiques galore to dress up your pet.
People can give their pets personal and Internet fame. Blogs, Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms have given rise to the Internet-famous pets and pet viral videos. After all who doesn't like a cute pet and their antics?
However the Internet has a dark side as well. People seem to seek advice from the general public about the health of their pet. Asking advice about your pets health from a random stranger is dangerous. Often home remedies are recommended in which case one should never give a pet herbal remedies without consulting a veterinarian first in person. Anyone can say they are a expert on the Internet but in reality the only expert you should ever listen to is your local veterinarian. Ill-given advice from the Internet (intentional or unintentional) can endanger your pet's health or even cause death. Be careful out there on the wide-world web.
