People may not be having a lot of kids anymore, but they certainly are adopting more and more pets. That’s certainly true in my case. I’m the proud mama to 2 ADORABLE doggos, and I can pretty much guarantee that as soon as I buy a house, I’ll probably be called “mom” to yet another pooch.
All sorts of industries have been paying attention to this trend. It pays off, too. The more pet-friendly you are these days, the more likely you are to secure a steady flow of customers.
That’s what TD Bank thinks, at least.
South Philly is now home to the first-ever dog ATM. You never thought you’d see the day, right? Well, it’s here, so just accept it. Dog ATMs or “automated treat machines”, they’re a part of our daily lives now.
The machine doesn’t dispense cash, though. What is a dog supposed to do with cash? Nope. Instead, it dishes out the true way to any fur baby’s heart: treats.
Looking at the picture they shared to social media, it looks like the machine can detect when a dog is standing on the mat. That must be how it knows when to pump out the goodies. Will doggie ATM cards be next? Who knows? All I hope is that South Jersey is where TD chooses to put their next Dog-friendly ATM machine. I want to take my dogs to the bank!
Speaking of fun activities to do with your dog, make sure you’re ready for summer:
Sure, frisbees and tennis balls are cool and all, but have you checked out the latest gadgets that are available for Fido and Fifi? We’ve gathered 10 of them together for you to ponder, but be careful, you may find yourself wanting to “test” them out first.
