This is both cute and useful. I thought pedometers are only for humans but as it turns out we have a version for dogs to. Japanese inventor Takara Tomy has announced a dog pedometer that helps you take note and manage the amount of exercise your canine pals make in a day. They need the exercise too so they remain a strong and healthy companion.

The dog pedometer is designed to be used all day so as to measure each doggie step. It records the data on a mini computer attached near the dog’s collar. Don’t worry, it’s no bigger than a deck of playing cards. Your pets may not even tell it’s attached to them.

Unlike pedometers for humans this one can monitor movement of four legs and has a small sensor which nullifies the shaking and nodding of the dog. There is no word on pricing yet, but there are speculations that it may be no more than US$55.
