Furbo 360 Dog Camera

The problem

Watching your dog on a camera and not being able to do anything is frustrating. You can see them pacing or barking, but all you have is a tiny speaker that makes your voice sound like a robot — which often makes anxiety worse. What most owners actually want is a way to reward calm behaviour from their phone: the dog settles, you toss a treat, the dog learns that being alone is not the end of the world. If you do not care about treat tossing and just want a basic live view, a Blink or Kasa will do the same job for less money.

What tends to help

The Furbo 360 rotates to cover the full room and tosses treats on command from the app. It detects barking and sends an alert to your phone, so you can check in at the moment it matters — not twenty minutes later. The 360-degree rotation means one camera covers a living room without blind spots. Treats load into a top hopper that holds around 100 small pieces.

A straight answer: Many of Furbo's advanced features — bark alerts, person detection, activity logs — sit behind a subscription called Furbo Dog Nanny. Without it, you get live view and manual treat toss. Check the current plan pricing before buying.

Common questions

Does Furbo work without Wi-Fi?

No. It needs stable home Wi-Fi for streaming and treat tossing. Upload speed matters more than download for smooth live view.

Can cats use Furbo too?

Many owners use Furbo for cats if the pet is treat-motivated and the camera is placed safely. Very small kittens may ignore treats; placement at sofa height usually works best.
