CALGARY - Cell phones are going to the dogs.

The PetsCell, launched Wednesday by a U.S. company, will allow pet owners and their four-legged pals to connect between walks and work.

"The ability to talk to your pet from a distance on the pet's own cellular phone is a definite novelty," said PetsCell founder Cameron Robb.

It's quirky enough to attract some die-hard pet parents in Calgary, predicted Nick Walters, a manager at Pisces Pet Emporium.

"People are buying all sorts of crazy things for their pets these days, so I wouldn't be surprised if it caught on," he said.

By clipping the phone to your dog or cat's collar, owners will be able to dial their furry friend's personal cell number. The call is automatically answered, and you can speak at will to your pet - though there's no guarantee they'll reply.

Should Fido get lost, anyone can press a button on the device and the owner's number is automatically dialed.

A GPS tracking chip, along with a fibre optic camera, can also be included for search and rescue operations.
