Dog Cameras & Other Technology

Caring for a dog has never been so easy: dog cameras, water fountains, & other technology

Busy pet parents love using technology to make caring for their dogs easier, safer and more fun — even when they're not at home.

Smart cameras that let you check in on your dog remotely so you can make sure they’re safe and asleep in their bed or playing with their toys. Some even let you speak to your dog and dispense delicious treats.

Automatic feeders are perfect for portion control, releasing a single serving of dog food at set times. If you have multiple dogs, a microchip feeder can prevent your dogs from stealing each other’s food.

Water fountains help keep your dog’s hydrated. Pets love free-flowing water.

FAQ: Dog cameras, water fountains, and automatic feeders

Can I dispense treats through the cameras when I'm not at home?

Not all pet cameras allow treating. Look for a pet camera with a treat dispenser component.

How many meals does an automatic pet feeder hold?

Some automatic feeders only hold 2-6 meals. Others have large storage containers that can hold litres of dry food which will last longer, depending on the frequency of meals and size of servings.

How do portion-controlled meals from an automatic feeder benefit my dog?

They ensure meals are served at scheduled times and accurate portions — ideal for weight control and maintaining a consistent routine.

What power options do these feeders have?

Some automatic feeders are entirely battery powered. Others need to be plugged in but have a back up battery system that takes over in the event of a power outage.

Why choose a water fountain over a standard bowl?

Flowing water stays fresher and more appealing, encouraging your dog to drink more. Filtration systems also help remove impurities for cleaner water.

How often should I replace the filters in my dog water fountain?

Different fountains recommend replacing filters at different frequencies to maintain water quality and cleanliness. Typically, this is around every 4-6 weeks. Follow the recommendations in the product’s instructions.

Are automatic waterers good for gardens or outdoor use?

Definitely. Petbarn carries the All For Paws Chill Out Garden Auto Filling Dog Fountain, which connects to a garden hose and self refills to keep outdoor dogs hydrated during hot weather.
