I'm thinking about treating myself to a Furbo to give me peace of mind when I have to leave my dog at home

As much as I hate leaving my dog home alone, life does not stop. Whether it is a day at work or popping to the shops, there is always a part of me wondering what they are getting up to. That is exactly why the Furbo summer sale has caught my attention now with up to 50% off.

I have looked at pet cameras before, but they always seemed to offer just the basics. What makes the Furbo 360° Dog and Mini Camera stand out is that it feels like it has been designed by people who really understand what dog owners worry about. The ability to see the entire room with a rotating 360 degree view means there are no frustrating blind spots. Instead of wondering whether my dog has wandered out of sight, I could simply follow them around the room with clear HD video.

One feature I particularly like is the automatic dog tracking. Rather than staring at an empty corner of the room while my dog is somewhere else entirely, the camera follows their movements, making it feel much more like I am checking in on them rather than checking an empty room. It is reassuring to know I could quickly see whether they are curled up asleep on the sofa or investigating something they probably should not be.

Being able to speak to my dog through the camera is something I can genuinely see myself using. Hearing a familiar voice can make all the difference if they are feeling unsettled, and the adjustable volume means it can be tailored to suit their personality. It is a small touch that could make coming and going much less stressful for both of us.

Then there is what is probably the most fun feature of all. The built in treat tossing function means I could reward my dog from wherever I am. Whether it is celebrating good behaviour or simply sending a little surprise during the day, it feels like a lovely way to stay connected. There is even a personalised snack call, making the whole experience feel much more interactive. With space for around 100 treats, it is ready whenever those little moments arise.

The Furbo 360° Dog and Mini Camera is currently available for £41 plus £7.59 per month with the Furbo Nanny Standard Plan, making this Summer Sale feel like a great opportunity if you have been thinking about investing in a little extra peace of mind.

For me, it is not really about having another gadget in the house. It is about knowing my dog is safe, settled and happy when I cannot be there. If you are the sort of dog owner who always wonders what your pup is doing the moment you close the front door, now might just be the perfect time to treat yourself and your furry friend while the Furbo Summer Sale offers savings of up to 50% off.
