Pet ChatGPT add-on
From the JustAnswer company comes Pearl for Pets GPT, a ChatGPT add-on that allows people to have verified veterinarians and animal behavior experts evaluate and rate the accuracy of artificial intelligence generated, pet related query answers. 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’d like to have their conversation reviewed by a JustAnswer veterinarian or expert in animal behavior for free. If they answer yes, they receive a “Trust Score” for the query response from 1 (lowest level of confidence in its accuracy) to 5 (highest accuracy rating).

Cat brush
RYERCAT introduces a dual-sided toothbrush, specially designed for cats. One side has a round micro head for daily brushing. The bristles are soft, so they won’t hurt the cat’s gums. The pick at the other end allows owners to remove any excess food stuck in the back molars. This part is also charcoal infused, which prevents the spread of bacteria.
