No, it’s not the Progressive taking on capitalist fat cats. Cornell students have developed an iPhone app which makes it easier for pet owners to help achieve the ideal weight for their furry companions:
CUPetHealth, available for $3.99 from the iTunes store and distributed by the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University, allows caregivers to track what and how much they feed their cats or dogs. After inputting the daily diet and noting several lifestyle variables that must be factored into the calculation to determine the appropriate number of calories each day, the app responds with “overfeeding,” “underfeeding” or “appropriate.”
Caregivers select food items from a ready-made list (which includes table food) or they can enter additional food items before the app completes the calculation. The app also provides suggested diets with the click of a button. In addition, the app electronically tracks companion animals’ vaccinations, including heartworm, notifying the owner when it’s time to revaccinate or administer another heartworm pill.
Look to see more canines doing big weights at Helen Newman in the coming weeks.
Haha, nice
HUUUUUUUUUUUGE WEIGHTS.
So my project of teaching greyhounds to bench press isn’t as useless as once thought.
