From smart litter boxes to smart pet feeders, automating your pet’s care when you’re not at home can offer a sense of relief that they’re being looked after.
Here are the best smart pet gadgets available today.
Q: Are Smart Feeders Good For Dogs?
Smart feeders help you portion your pet’s meals and deliver them at certain times. This is especially useful for cats and dogs that are on a strict diet or those that get a little greedy at meal times.
For small and medium-sized cats, the Smarty Pear Leo’s Loo Too is perfectly sized to ensure their toilet time is comfortable. Once your cat enters the Smarty Pear Leo’s Loo Too, their weight and toileting frequency will get automatically recorded, which you can view on the connected app.
The radar system and sensors inside of the Smarty Pear Leo’s Loo Too help to keep your cat safe. For example, there’s an anti-pinch sensor ensuring that no cleaning happens until your cat has safely left the litter box.
The 360-degree horizontal panning allows you to monitor your pets from a larger area, especially for those that are active when you’re not there. It also delivers crisp video streaming day and night, thanks to its 1080p video and color night vision modes.
While there isn’t local storage, the Furbo 360 Dog Camera is definitely a solid choice if you need that added reassurance.
In interactive mode, you can move the bone once your dog gets hold of it, twisting it, shaking it, and moving it across the room. The Wickedbone Smart Bone claims to be scratch-resistant, however, depending on your dog’s temperament, may get damaged easily. But, if you can keep it intact, this smart pet gadget comes in pretty handy and can be dismantled for easy cleaning.
Charging takes around one hour, however, the battery doesn’t last particularly long, so it will be something you’ll need to recharge daily.
Since the WOPET 6L Automatic Cat Feeder uses either a wall adapter or batteries, you can use the WOPET 6L Automatic Cat Feeder when you travel too. Connecting the feeding to your smartphone allows you to feed your pets from anywhere in the world, offering added reassurance when you’re not at home with your pets.
Using the app, you can schedule up to 15 meals per day, feeding anywhere between 5g to 250g per meal.
Using the app you can see how many days are left on the filter before it needs cleaning, how much energy has been consumed, and switch between the three modes.
It’s not necessarily revolutionary, but it’s certainly handy, and even if you don’t use the smart features, the PETKIT Wireless Water Fountain is easy for your pets to use, and offers plenty of water without needing to refill the tank very often.
With 1080p HD live video streaming, you can keep an eye on your pets when you’re not in the same room. It offers a 160-degree ultrawide angle lens, 4x zoom, and night vision. So, no matter when you need to check in on your furry friends, you’ll be able to.
Using the app, you’ll get real-time sound and motion alerts so you get notified if your pet is up to no good. To reassure them if they’re feeling anxious, you can also use the two-way audio to say hello to them with a familiar sound.
