In today’s world pets are as stressed as human beings, so for all those people who care for their pet’s health and keep wondering whether their pet is stressed can stick a special patch on the bottom of its paw and you'll be able to tell so. Japanese company Medical Life Care Giken developed the patch to measure the stress level of dogs and cats by detecting excessive sweat secretion which is considered to be a sign of stress.

The company expects strong sales amid a pet boom in Japan, the Nikkei said. The patches are expected to go on sale in Japan later this year, with the price still undecided, it said. It did not mention plans for overseas sales.
