Pet ChatGPT add-on

From the company JustAnswer comes Pearl for Pets GPT, a ChatGPT add-on that enables people to have verified veterinarians and animal behavior experts review and rate the accuracy of artificial intelligence–generated, pet-related query responses. Anyone with a ChatGPT Plus subscription who uses the Pearl for Pets GPT and receives a chat response to a pet-related question will automatically receive a prompt asking if they would like their conversation reviewed by a JustAnswer veterinarian or animal behavior expert for free. If they answer yes, they will receive a “Trust Score” for the query response ranging from 1 (lowest level of confidence in its accuracy) to 5 (highest rating of accuracy).

Cat toothbrush

RYERCAT has introduced a dual-sided toothbrush, designed specifically for cats. One side has a round micro head for everyday brushing. The bristles are soft, so they won’t hurt the cat’s gums. The pick on the opposite end allows owners to remove any excess food that gets stuck in the back molars. This side is also charcoal infused, which prevents bacteria from spreading.
