Owning a pet is pure joy, cuddles, company and a built-in best friend. But the second you leave them home alone, the guilt hits like a ton of bricks.

Suddenly, you’re imagining them pacing, whining, or plotting their dramatic escape. And let’s be honest, leaving the radio on or tossing out a few chew toys just isn’t gonna cut it.

Luckily, it’s 2025, and pet tech has become seriously impressive. Enter: Furbo.

Furbo’s range of pet cameras goes beyond mere monitoring, allowing you to speak to your pet in real time, toss them treats on command, and get instant alerts when they bark or meow.

But the standout is the new subscription AI-powered Furbo Nanny, which delivers daily behaviour summaries, health insights, and even early warnings if something seems off. It’s like having a digital nanny who never clocks out.

Furbo 360° Dog Camera

See more than ever before with the all-new rotating Furbo 360° Dog Camera. This clever pet cam enables you to hear and speak to your dog, toss treats on the go and be notified when they're making noise with real-time Barking Alerts.

Better yet, there’s a Furbo for every budget, and with Black Friday savings in full swing, you can score even bigger discounts of up to 50% off.

The Furbo Mini 360° is now just £24, while the Furbo Mini is as little as £15. Subscriptions for the new nanny service are also a steal, now coming in at just £5.59 a month.

At around 18p a day, that’s a tiny price to pay for major peace of mind.

The range of pet cameras, which also include a dedicated one for dogs and cats, has thousands of five-star reviews on Amazon, too, so you know you’re getting something that works.

‘I slept better not having to get up to check in on her, I could just check my phone,’ One reviewer wrote of their tiny kitten, while another added: ‘Everyone should have a Furbo if you have a dog/cat amazing product and well worth the price, the ai assistance is so helpful, I would definitely recommend.’

‘Really like this camera and it’s good to have a nanny watching over my much loved cat Flint”, Donna said in her feedback.’ raved a third reviewer.

Meanwhile, another wrote that the Furbo range proves invaluable if you have older pets, explaining that it was a blessing after her cat suffered a sudden health decline.

‘Not only did it help me show the vet that there was no signs of a health decline but gave me video memories of her. So I highly recommend if you have older animals to have cute funny keepsakes.’

Gosh, is someone cutting onions?
