Returning home to a snuggly pet is one of life’s greatest pleasures, and with the newest gadgets and AI advancements, pet ownership becomes even more fun and manageable. 

Here’s a collection of gadgets that would make excellent gifts for any pet owner.

Petlibro AI-enhanced pet camera – $99.99

Petlibro has recently introduced its AI-enhanced Scout Smart Camera, providing pet owners with real-time updates on their furry friends’ activities. 

The app enables you to control the camera’s direction and can automatically track your pet’s movement. With two-way audio, you can communicate with your pet if they’re misbehaving, and it can emit a small chirping sound to catch their attention. Scout can identify up to two pets, allowing you to monitor them individually.

What sets this device apart are the AI-powered descriptions. Scout detects when your pet eats, drinks, uses the litter box, or just strolls by. It captures photos and saves daily highlights in the cloud for up to 30 days. To unlock the AI functionalities, you must subscribe to the standard plan for $12 monthly or the premium plan for $17 monthly.

Life360 GPS pet tracker – $49.99

This newly designed GPS pet tracker from Life360 is a revolutionary tool for anyone fearful of losing their furry companions. You can fasten it to your pet’s collar, and it syncs with your phone to provide real-time location tracking. It also includes geofencing, which alerts you if your pet exits a designated safe zone such as your yard or neighborhood.

Additional features include notifications to alert nearby pet owners if your pet escapes, along with a built-in light to assist you in finding your pet during nighttime.

The tracker is available in three colors: pink, navy, and black. To access all its functionalities, users must subscribe to either the $14.99-per-month Gold plan or the $24.99-per-month Platinum plan.

Petlibro Wet Food Feeder – $149.99

Petlibro’s Polar Wet Food Feeder is designed to keep your cat’s wet food fresh while you’re away. It contains three compartments and can accommodate up to 22.2 ounces, allowing you to be absent for up to 72 hours without worrying about your cat’s hunger. The compartments are cooled to maintain food freshness, and the tray bowls are made of BPA-free, dishwasher-safe plastic. 

The device includes a mobile app that allows you to manage the feeder, establish your pet’s feeding schedule, and receive notifications when your cat begins to eat. The app will notify you if your home Wi-Fi connection fails and can keep the food cold for up to 12 hours in the event of a power failure.

Pawport Smart Pet Door – $699

If you’re tired of critters sneaking in through standard pet doors, Pawport’s smart door system is constructed from heavy-duty steel and aluminum, featuring dual solid deadbolts that keep out unwanted animals, as well as rain and snow. A new version introduced this year connects an internal and external door via a tunnel-like design for enhanced security.

With a tracker tag and motion-detection technology, the door opens automatically when your pet approaches. There’s also an app for remotely operating the door, setting schedules for opening and closing, and issuing voice commands through Alexa, Siri, or Google. 

PetKit Automatic Litter Box – $499.99

The PetKit PuraMax 2 model is presently among the most favored automatic litter boxes on the market. It boasts odor management, a waste container sealed to trap smells inside, and a citrus-scented deodorizer that activates post-cleaning and randomly throughout the day.

The app paired with the device is also beneficial for monitoring your cat’s health, as it records how frequently your cat uses the box, the duration, when the cleaning cycle starts and ends, and when the deodorizing spray is applied. Additionally, it tracks weight changes in your cat, helping you identify potential health concerns early.
