Dear Sir or Madam,

“The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs.”
– Charles de Gaulle


At Boston Made Pets, we believe pets deserve the very best — and the future of pet care is here. From Boston Made Pets’ innovative dog wearables to the latest smart collars and GPS dog trackers, technology is transforming the way we care for our furry companions. Today’s pet owners are embracing activity trackers for dogs, health monitoring for pets, and a wide range of wearable pet gadgets that combine convenience, safety, and style.

Pet safety devices have become more than just a trend — they’re a lifestyle. With connected pet devices, owners can track their dog’s location, monitor fitness levels, and even detect potential health issues before they become serious. Canine fitness trackers and smart dog gear give pets the attention they deserve while offering peace of mind for their humans.

Innovation in pet tech isn’t just about monitoring; it’s about enhancing the bond between pets and their owners. Dog tracking technology and smart pet accessories are making it easier than ever to ensure pets are safe, happy, and healthy. From pet wellness solutions to wearable pet tech that integrates seamlessly into everyday life, Boston Made Pets is at the forefront of this exciting revolution.

As trends in pet lifestyle products continue to grow, one thing is clear: the intersection of technology and pet care is shaping the future of how we love, protect, and engage with our pets. Explore our line of innovative smart collars, activity trackers, and more — because your dog deserves nothing less than the best in pet innovation.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Boston Made Games has grown into a full arcade for the Boston Made network, free to play in any browser.

What’s in the Game Hall

  • Story games: Find Boston, Mr. B’s Fine Cuts, the Harbor Key slot adventure and Wild Buffaloes.
  • Puzzles: the Boston Crossword, Beacon Sudoku, Word Search, Beat-the-Clock Trivia and Memory Match.
  • Classics: Checkers on the Common, Jacks or Better, Harbor Blackjack and Texas Hold’em on Hanover Street.
  • A tribute to North End restaurateur Frank DePasquale through The Adventures of Frank Depastrami.

Casino-style games use play coins only, with no cash value. They can’t be bought, sold or redeemed, and the arcade is for adults 18+.

Win a skill game, save in the shop

Solve a crossword, sudoku or word search, score 7 of 10 in trivia, or beat the computer at checkers to unlock ARCADE15, a real 15% coupon for the Boston Made Pets shop. Find Boston and Mr. B’s Fine Cuts each have their own code. Slots and card games never pay real rewards.

Take the art home

The arcade’s artwork is now available as instant-download art packs: $4.99 each, or $9.99 for the complete bundle with the Boston Made Games skyline wallpaper.

For local businesses

The same animated banners that promote the games are now open to advertisers. Packages start at $149 a month, and game sponsorships can write a business right into the story. See advertising options.

Lumo.gold Rebuilds as a Consumer-First Directory for Selling Gold

The relaunched Lumo.gold helps people compare local cash-for-gold businesses in the US and UK and request a no-pressure introduction to a vetted buyer.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Lumo.gold has relaunched as a consumer-first directory for people looking to sell gold. The new site’s promise: “Find a gold buyer you can feel good about.”

Visitors can search by location and by what they are selling — jewelry, coins and bullion, watches, silver or estate pieces — and compare local cash-for-gold businesses on the signals that matter, such as credentials, a transparent process and appointment availability.

Clarity before the counter

Lumo pairs the directory with guidance. A three-step approach encourages sellers to compare buyers’ credentials, understand the karat, weight and condition of their items before a conversation, and contact buyers on their own terms.

Fair pricing starts with clarity.

An introduction service

For sellers who are ready, Lumo offers a buyer introduction: describe what you have and where you are, and Lumo will connect you with a vetted local buyer, with no obligation. Any service fee is quoted explicitly and must be accepted by the seller. Lumo is clear that it is a discovery and introduction service — it does not buy or sell gold, provide valuations, or guarantee any offer.

What’s next

  • Directory coverage across the United States and United Kingdom
  • Live map search, planned for the next build
  • Business listing submissions for local buyers, coming with the full directory
Lumo.goldFind a trusted gold buyer near you.
