A few months ago I downloaded an app to my phone which would map the distance I walked my dog. Other people could also add their routes to this application. It often caused me to check this app for a different route to walk, even if I didn’t have my dog in tow! So, I started looking at some other apps. All animal related, mind you. Here are some I thought you might find interesting or amusing:

1) Mapmydogwalk by Subaru – This is the app I mentioned above. I really liked this app because I could check out various routes, find out long the walk was (both in terms of miles and time). This app also indicates length of time if you are running, rather than walking, for example. They say it is “Free” but I noticed with their recent upgrade they are asking me to now pay for this app.

2) Pet Acoustics – This is music for dogs, cats and even horses! Music designed to sooth and relax your animals. $1.99

3) Screen Clean – Love this app! You can pick up to 8 different dogs to lick your screen clean. The app is free, but if you want to choose from more than the 8 dogs offered, you can upgrade. The creators of this app also have posted a disclaimer informing us that a video of a dog licking your screen will not cause water damage to your cell phone, nor will it actually clean your screen, and concludes with “no animals were harmed in the making of this video”.

4) Click Train – Clicker training for your dog. Another free app helps you to train your dog.

All of these are apps for the IPhone.
