We've seen pet cams and microchips but there are other technologies out there that takes it up a notch. I was browsing through some sites and saw this.
It's called a Bissell Spotbot. What it does is clean your pet's mess for you. I'm not sure if it does poop though. Oh wait... it does 3-inch stain stool (whatever that means).
I think it's like a carpet cleaner but only for pet stains. Also, it requires other products from the same manufacturer for stain and odor removal. I think I've read that some made use of Nature's Miracle instead.
I've thought about buying this product when my chow was just a pup. I even researched online to find out if it is as effective as the manufacturer claims it is. It turns out that a lot of pet owners who bought this would recommend it so that says something. Fortunately we were able to house train our pup in a little less than 3 weeks and our individual schedules worked so that someone was always at home with the dog most of the time.
