Pluto

Purpose of Pluto (Device + App)

Leaving dogs alone at home is inevitable sometimes, especially when owners have to go out to work on a daily base. Then, how to make sure the dog is having a good time and behaving well for 8 hours until the owner’s back? 

For households having a yard, dogs are usually allowed to go jumping around by themselves and go potty in the garden if they have to. However, for apartment dogs, it’s harder to manage their mental and physical needs for a long period of time.
