PetSkype – Now you can Skype your pets…

In a first for Australia, Hanrob Pet Hotels will today launch PetSkype so owners can make a video call to talk to and interact with their pets. The hotels, at Heathcote and Sydney Airport, also allow for pre-recorded videos and digital photos so owners can keep in touch with pets.
