If you worry every time you leave your furry friend at home, take heart – there are so many ways to make sure they’re well-cared for, and to even stay connected with them from a distance. Check out these toys and helpful gadgets to keep your pet happy while you’re away.

Petcube

This amazing device is a great way to keep an eye on your pet while you are away from home. And it’s even more than that. Depending on which model you choose, these cameras also have several advantageous features for a pet that is home alone. There’s two-way audio, which means you can listen to your pet – and talk to them, which is a great way to soothe and comfort them from a distance. There are also models that have interactive features like a laser toy and a treat dispenser.

Pet Zone IQ Treat Dispenser Ball Dog Toy

This is a toy that will keep your pet engaged and mentally stimulated for long stretches of time. The ball is filled with treats – but the trick is, your pup has to figure out how to get them out. Over time, as they learn how to get the toy to dispense, you can increase the challenge level, which will keep them puzzling it out. Best of all, this ball only dispenses a small snack at a time, which ensures your pet won’t overdo it.

iFetch

Yes, this gadget is exactly what you think it is – a fully-automated game of fetch. Their classic iFetch comes in two varieties that are customized for small to medium and large dogs. Each one has different sized balls to match your pet’s size, as well as other features like adjustable launching distances (so you can use it safely inside). The Frenzy model puts a little spin on fetch by releasing a ball from one out of three different chutes, which will keep your pet on their toes.

CleverPet Hub

This game console for dogs features a set of puzzles for your pup to solve, keeping them engaged and entertained for hours at a time. Increase the difficulty level as they learn.
