Automatic Pet Feeder

The PetLibro Automatic Feeder automates feeding times for your pet, allowing you to program up to 10 meals a day so you can spread out your pet’s feeding schedule.

It has a built-in 1080P HD camera to monitor your pet while they’re eating from anywhere on your smartphone. The camera even supports IR night vision, allowing you to check on your pet, even at night.

The motion detector will detect your pet and will record when they’re eating to be played back later.

Your phone will even get a notification if the battery or food level are low, if there is a blockage, if the Wi-fi is disconnected, or if the food dispenser stops working for any reason.

You can even program voice messages to call your pet when it’s meal time!

Water Fountain

We’ve had this Dooob Water Fountain for several months and Hunter loves it. The dual filtration system keeps the water much cleaner and Hunter seems to appreciate this. The fountain is very quiet and holds up to 3.2L of water, making it suitable for multiple cats or even smaller dogs.

I appreciate that the stainless steel parts are dishwasher safe and very easy to clean so it’s easy to keep the water fresh and flowing. And if you have a kitty that prefers a little less movement in their water, the fountain part can be removed to operate as a bubbler instead.

This water fountain has made a huge improvement in Hunter’s hydration and I would highly recommend it!

GPS Pet Trackers

*Keeping track of your pet can be a lifesaver*

Pet tracking devices aren’t just a way to keep an eye on where your pet is located but, if you need that feature, check out the Tractive Smart Dog GPS Tracker or Tractive Smart Cat GPS Tracker.

They provide real-time GPS tracking for your pets with unlimited range. This tracker will update every 2-3 seconds, anywhere in the world.

You can set a virtual fence as a safe zone and will receive an alert if your pet is outside that zone. It will also record a history your pet’s whereabouts to track them quickly.

The other outstanding feature of these trackers is a health, sleep, and activity monitor. Stay on top of your pet’s wellness with daily insights into their sleep and activity patterns so you can be notified of usual changes so you can act early.

While I’m not a big fan of pets wandering freely, these trackers can protect your pet if they do get away from you.

Heartbeat Plush

If you’re bringing home a puppy, Snuggle Puppy could be very handy! This plush animal is designed with a battery-powered heartbeat component and removable heat pack to soothe your puppy when you are establishing night routines, sleeping spots, or crate training.

You can even use this unit for older dogs who are grieving another pet or suffering from separation anxiety. In fact, it can be used for any dog suffering anxiety, such as during thunderstorms or fireworks.

The heartbeat can be set in two modes, 8 hour for sleep aid, or 24 hour for anxiety comfort.

It’s made of durable, pet-safe materials and the heartbeat component and heat pack can be removed so the plush can be machine washed.

QR Code Pet ID Tag

Back and front of a pet tag with a QR code with pet information to contact owners if lost — **Lost Pet?**

*Attach this tag to your pet’s caller. If your pet is lost, all their critical information is contained in the QR code and you’ll be alerted with their location when the code is scanned*

If your pet is lost and then found by a stranger, the Pet Dwelling QR Code Tag can provide the finder with all the information they need to get your pet back home quickly and easily.

Build a profile for your pet that shows their name, a photo, emergency contacts, and important medical information. One scan with a smartphone, and the finder will be able to contact you immediately.

Plus, you will receive an instant e-mail notification with the scan location so you know that your pet has been found and where.

Nail Grinder

Does your dog turn into a complete drama queen when you pull out the nail trimmers?

Our last dog, Jack, had a complete meltdown when we pulled out the trimmers and made sounds that would make you think we were trying to murder him. He had obviously gone through some trauma before he came to stay with us.

If your dog is a bit dramatic around nail trimmings, try the Casfuy Pet Nail Grinder. It’s very quiet, under 40db, uses a diamond grinding wheel and has two LED lights to locate the quick of the nail.

Plus, the motor is powerful enough to support heavy grinding, which can be especially useful for large dogs. This makes it quick and easy to take care of those nails without undue noise and vibrations.

Interactive Cat Toy

We’re always looking for ways to keep our indoor cats entertained. The ORSDA 3-in-1 Cat Toy is just the ticket!

This rechargeable toy turns on for 10 minutes at a time, every 4 hours, and then turns off again, giving your cat plenty of enrichment throughout the day. The smart mode turns off the toy at night so you don’t have to worry about the toy waking up you or your cat for a 2am play session.

With spinning balls, popping feathers, and rotating fabric butterfly, your cat’s hunting skills will be put to the test so they are never bored.

Since cat’s only need a few minutes of play at a time, this is the perfect toy to entertain your cat while you’re away or busy.

Pet Talking Buttons

*Ever wonder what your pet is trying to tell you? Teach them to express themselves with the touch of a button*

Ever watched all those amazing videos of pets talking to their pet parents with programmable buttons and wondered if you could teach your pet to do the same?

Get FluentPet Buttons in an expandable kit to teach your critters to express themselves.

Each tile can hold up to 6 buttons and more can be added as your pet learns more words but still keeps the mat area compact so it’s not taking up too much space.

There’s also step-by-step education and online support to teach not only your pet, but yourself to use this amazing tool.

Pet Camera

A camera unit that lets you check in on your pets from a remote location — **We LOVE our Furbo!**

*Keep an eye on your pets when you have to be away from home*

The Furbo Pet Camera has been such a great addition in our home. When we are away at work or just out for a while, we can quickly check the camera to make sure everything is okay.

We can rotate the camera and the 1080P video is clear and easy to see, even at night with the colour night vision camera.

You can listen to your pet or speak to them to soothe them, and even toss them a treat.

You don’t need a subscription, but, if you’re interested, you can be alerted when your dog is barking, if it detects a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm, if it detects a person entering, dog vomiting, etc.

It can also record your pet’s daily activities and playtime so you can monitor their daily behaviours when you’re not around.

Air Purifier

While we love our pets with all our hearts, keeping our homes fresh, clean, and keeping the pet hair under control can be a challenge.

Enter the Uahpet Pet Air Purifier. This cute and compact air purifier has a washable pre-filter, an activated carbon, H13 HEPA and sponge filter system that catches pet hair, dander, odours and dust effectively.

It is touted as having the ability to clean up to 2100 square feet(bigger than my house) and to be extremely quiet. The night-time sleep mode is 25dB and even at high speed, the unit is only 55dB.

This little unit is designed specifically for pet homes and is highly rated for its ability to help keep your air clean and fresh. This little baby is next on my wish list!
