“Dog owners have to hold their device – computer, tablet, smartphone, etc. – over their pet’s face so the camera can pick up their reactions. As they browse through the various products listed on Pet Commerce (bones, toys, balls) a video will start to play to attract the animal’s attention. All videos were designed in yellow and blue, as Leonardo Ogata claims that these are the colors that dogs see best. Owners are advised to turn up the volume as well, and not constrain the dogs in any way, as this may irritate them,” reports Oddity Central.
