New SNIF Tags Help Dog Owners Monitor Pets While Away

Part social network, part baby monitor, today a new company called SNIF Tags started following us on Twitter.
SNIF Tags offer a small RFID chip that attaches to your dog's collar, where you can then log in to their online site and see your dog's activity level while you are away from home. While it doesn't provide any GPS locating, and certainly would not serve as a microchip for international pet transportation purposes, it does tell you when your dog is up walking around or lying down.
One of the cooler features that it offers is the social networking tool -- dog owners can create profiles for their pets and if you bump into another pet with a SNIF Tag on out on a walk or in a dog park, it will show that the two tags "connected" on the two dogs' profiles.

It would probably make a great holiday gift for your favorite pet or pet lover! Check out the video below:
