From our dogs to yours: Top consumer tech & traditional gifts

Imarc has a history of being a dog-friendly workplace. As of today, two-thirds of all team members have at least one furry family member. And while not every Imarcian spends time in the office on a regular basis, several of our regulars are canine. Chief among those are Rocky (Austin's) and Gordy (Maribeth's).

We're fairly well-known for sharing digital marketing statistics, but today's list is going to highlight consumer tech-forward and non-tech products used by our team's best pals.

Tech-forward

1. Wobble Wag Giggle ball

When it comes to electronic dog toys, the Wobble Wag Giggle Ball has the poodle vote for best treat dispensing plaything. Karin says, "Max loves his Wobble Wag Giggle ball. He loses his mind tossing it all around the house while I'm on video meetings."

You can get yours here.

2. Smart collars

Smart collars allow you to track your puppy wherever they go and help them get the most out of their daily activities. Our current top-ranking ones are, PitPat, FitBark, and the Fi Series 3.

Have you tried one or all?

3. Furbo

Given that they get up to a lot of craziness, we had to include a dog camera in the list. Based on our conversations, Furbo has emerged victorious. Their Furbo 360° Dog Camera allows you to track your dog, speak to them, throw them treats, get bark alerts, and even includes night vision!

No tech or low-tech

1. Jolly Ball

First up is the Jolly Ball. Specifically, the push-n-play one and the large-sized Jolly soccer ball. Lauren says, "Simon looks like a pro soccer player out there herding his ball around."

2. Greenies

You've likely heard of Greenies and that's because they never fail to excite our company dogs. From sweet potato and blueberry to seasonal yums like gingerbread and pumpkin spice, you can't pick a loser.

7. Puzzling puzzles

Stimulating your dog consistently can be a challenge, but one of our Imarcians found that his dog really loves puzzles!

Austin did caution us that, "You have to kind of keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t just destroy the toy instead of solving the puzzle, but depending on the size and type of dog that might not be as much of an issue. Most of ours are from Outward Bound."

They have the Dog Casino Interactive Treat Puzzle Dog Toy and the Dog Brick Interactive Treat Puzzle Dog Toy and love them both! You can browse others here.
