THE IN THING

The world’s first smart bone will keep Fido active when you’re away from home.

-

When there's an invention as clever as the GoBone, it's worth going through the hassle to get your hands on one (it doesn't ship direct to Singapore, so you'll need to have it delivered via global shipping companies like Borderlinx or comGateway).

Designed to keep Fido occupied and active while you’re away at work, this interactiv­e device entices your furkid to chase or chew it by moving independen­tly. Made from food-grade and eco-friendly materials, the GoBone is protected by a thick nylon shell. The durable exterior is replaceabl­e and the dog-proof, quick-release buttons allow you to remove and wash any mucky parts.

So how does the GoBone work? Simply connect your handphone to the smart bone via Bluetooth. Insert food or treats inside the wheels (optional) and tap the GoBone twice to turn it on. The GoBone is rechargeab­le and you can set the device on auto play mode for eight hours or schedule fixed playtime using the free GoBone app.

To ensure Fido has the right amount of mental and physical stimulatio­n, the app-controlled gadget uses patent-pending algorithms that automatica­lly learn your dog's behaviour based on its age, weight, breed and other variables—this in turn customises the play style and duration of engagement.

Fire up the GoBone app and your smartphone turns into a gaming device that allows you to control the toy remotely. You can engage Fido in a round of fetch or hideand-seek from the comfort of your couch.
