What reviewers found
Furbo 360 Dog Camera
- Reviewed: Clear video with little lag and smooth rotation. Motion tracking sometimes struggled with two dogs. Alexa setup failed and bark alerts triggered on TV, doors and vacuums. Source
- Dogster (4.5/5): Tested with a 6 year old Cavapoo. Setup took under 10 minutes once Wi-Fi was strong enough; the camera had to move closer to the router. Night vision footage could be unclear. Source
PetSafe Automatic Ball Launcher
- PetsRadar: Fun add on for playtime, but the reviewer felt it may not run a full day of problem free fetch alone; flagged a loud pre launch tone and a 15 minute timeout that cannot be disabled. Source
- What's Good To Do (5/5): Tested in a garden with a Staffordshire Bull Terrier; noted 9 distance settings from 2.5 to 9 m, a 45 degree max angle and a motion sensor that pauses launching. Unit was gifted for review. Source
