In the modern world, we are all guilty of perusing the much-loved App Store, or Google Play for Android users, and checking out the new apps available whether they are for entertainment or convenience purposes. While there are countless apps designed for making your life that much easier and/or entertaining, the vast majority of them are focused on humans.

Luckily, for all you pet lovers out there, more and more apps are being designed and released with the sole focus on your four-legged friends. While some of these are purely for humor and some laughs, others prove to be quite helpful in regards to caring properly for your furry friends.
