Products for pets are the cat's meow at CIIE
Many may think the China International Import Expo is only for businesses and business people, but it also cares about animals and pets.
Global biopharmaceutical company MSD's Animal Health section displays a small device called Animo to be attached to a dog's collar, which can track the total time that the dog is active as well as learn and interpret the unique activity and behavior patterns of the dog.
With the device, pet owners can have a better understanding of their dogs when they are having morning walks, sleeping under the table or barking at the postman.
And by learning how long a dog is active each day, its owner can ensure it gets enough exercise to lead a healthy life.
After a seven-day period where the device learns your dog's "normal" levels of activity, owners can start setting daily goals for their dogs. They will receive a notification when the dogs reach that goal, and which will be marked as complete on the dashboard.
At the booth, another eye-catching product is a water dispenser called Felaqua for cats. Since cats frequently get kidney diseases, owners can monitor how much water their pet cats drink and identify potential risks.
MSD also has anti-parasite and vaccine products for pets. For cows, the company is displaying devices it uses in milk factories to monitor the cows' health condition and feeding habits for better quality milk production.
