Have you ever wondered what your furry friend does while you’re away? Is your dog napping the day away, or perhaps he’s the culprit behind those mysteriously disappearing socks? Thanks to an innovative device called PetChatz, pet owners can now stay connected with their beloved animals even when they’re not at home.
This remarkable gadget allows you to see and interact with your pet in real time, making it an instant hit on social media, with videos reaching nearly 400,000 shares within just two days. After all, who wouldn’t prefer watching their pet over responding to work emails?
The PetChatz unit, which mounts on the wall, features not only a camera but also a treat dispenser for your deserving pet. “They see you, hear you, and feel your love with the tasty treats and soothing scents you provide,” the creators explain on their website. For anxious pets, the device includes a unique scent feature, allowing you to help them find “serenity now” with specially formulated PetChatz Scentz. This can be particularly helpful for pets feeling stressed when left alone.
And it’s not just for everyday use; PetChatz is also useful during travel. Plugging into any standard outlet, it can even attach to a kennel door, enabling you to check in on your pet while you relax in a far-off paradise. Lisa Thompson, CEO of PetChatz’s parent company Anser Innovation, emphasizes the convenience, saying, “If your pet is in a boarding facility, you can check in while you’re in Barbados.”
The base unit is priced around $380 and comes equipped with a speaker, webcam, microphone, and motion detector, providing a comprehensive communication experience. You can easily access the system through your computer, tablet, or smartphone, alleviating any guilt about late nights at the office or weekend getaways. For an additional $99, you can purchase the PawCall, which allows your pet to initiate a call to you if they are trained to use it. Just imagine—training your pet to call you for under $500! Plus, the PawCall offers games to keep your furry friend entertained.
While dogs are known for their enthusiastic greetings, cats might have mixed feelings about their humans checking in too frequently during the workday. For more insights on pet care and training, don’t forget to check out our other blog posts, like this one about fertility and home insemination.
