Petlibro recently introduced its AI-powered Scout Smart Camera, designed to provide pet owners with real-time insights into their pets’ daily activities.

The companion app allows you to control the camera’s view remotely, and the device can automatically track your pet as they move around the room. It also features two-way audio, allowing you to speak to your pet when needed, along with a chirping sound to capture their attention.

Scout can recognise up to two pets individually, making it easy to monitor each one separately. What truly sets it apart are its AI-powered activity summaries. The camera can detect when your pet eats, drinks water, uses the litter box, or walks past. It captures photos and stores daily highlights in the cloud for up to 30 days.

To unlock the AI features, users must subscribe to either the standard plan at $12 per month or the premium plan at $17 per month.

Life360’s latest GPS pet tracker offers peace of mind for pet owners worried about their furry friends wandering off. The tracker attaches securely to your pet’s collar and connects to your smartphone, providing real-time location updates.

It includes geofencing capabilities that alert you if your pet leaves designated safe areas, such as your yard or neighbourhood. Additional features include community alerts that notify nearby pet owners if your pet goes missing, along with a built-in light to help locate your pet at night.

Petlibro Polar Wet Food Feeder

The Polar Wet Food Feeder from Petlibro is designed to keep wet cat food fresh while you’re away. With three compartments that hold up to 22.2 ounces total, the feeder can provide up to 72 hours of meals.

The compartments are cooled to preserve freshness, and the BPA-free bowl trays are dishwasher safe. A connected mobile app allows pet owners to schedule feeding times, receive notifications when their cat begins eating, and remotely monitor the device.

The app also alerts users if the internet connection is lost. During a power outage, the feeder can keep food chilled for up to 12 hours.
