Most of the time, our pets’ wants and needs are refreshingly low-tech. Even well into the 21st century, nothing can replace the power of an old-fashioned “good boy!” and a well-placed ear scratch. That said, new pet tech can definitely help make our lives as pet parents easier. Can’t be home in time to feed your dog dinner at 5 p.m. on the dot (you know they won’t settle for a second later!)? An automatic pet feeder can be programmed to dispense meals any time of the day. Need a break from scooping the cat’s litter box? A self-cleaning litter box does the dirty work for you.
From interactive toys to smart pet devices, these are some of the best pet tech products on the market based on customer reviews, ratings, sales and expert input.
Best Self-Cleaning Litter Box

The best invention ever!
The Litter Robot Connect helped my life so much as a cat owner. I got the Open Air model back in 2016 and I converted it into a Connect device by installing the Connect kit. I have to say that this unit is so well-made that it still works! My cat loves it and uses it with no issues whatsoever. The Litter Robot can be managed with the Whisker App so you can create extra rotations on your phone if you need. You can also see when it's time to empty the waste drawer. Excellent solution for a busy cat owner!

A really amazing product!
I've had my Litter Robot since 2018, and it is still going strong! I'm on the board of a no-kill animal shelter, and we were gifted a Litter Robot for our free roam cat room, and I loved it so much, I bought one for myself! I have had to repair it a few times -- free of charge, Litter Robot will send you parts. It's not an easy repair, but I consider it a wonderful company that they support their products so well instead of pressuring you to buy a new one. Everyone at the company I have communicated with is very nice and helpful as well! I'm happy to recommend this product to others. I have four large male cats, so my Litter Robot probably...

Our Rescue LOVES Litter-Robot!
The Litter-Robot has completely changed our lives here at the rescue! Our foster room is cleaner, smells better, and our kitties ALWAYS have a clean litter box to use every time they need it. 11/10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

Best Feeder
Easy set up and an easy clean. I love that you can record your own sound for feeding time. Only thing I wish they included was a guide for the feeding portions. Other than refilling food and the occasional cleaning, it is completely hands-free. I have no worries going away for a weekend or longer that my cat will be unfed. D batteries (3) not included; however, it does run off a plug if you choose.

Convenient and affordable
Bought this for my 7 year old cat, who I thought was going to have a hard time adjusting to this auto feeder (she’s used to her dishes). She adjusted well to it! This was easy to install, program, and so far works well! I also appreciate Chewy’s fast shipping!

Exactly what a hungry cat needs
This product has been a game changer for my cat. He now gets portioned food theee times a day and is not begging for food all day long. With the rationed portions he also seems to be less hungry and losing (needed) weight. I did have to change to food bowl to his bowl because he is a created of habit. Highly recommend.
Best Pet Camera

Should have got this years ago
I am totally obsessed with this!!! Decided to get one to keep an eye on our new puppy but I cannot believe that I never purchased one sooner for my older dog. I literally can't stop staring at the live stream and am loving watching them play while I'm not there. Totally worth the $$ and very easy set up

Awesome camera
This camera works great! It's perfect for checking in on my pets. The picture is very clear, and the night vision is great! The motion detection works great as well. I highly recommend this camera if you are looking for something easy to use to watch your pets.

Peace of mind
I was out of town for about 8 days, and had to leave my 18.5 year old arthritic cat, and his little brother who is on an rx diet. It was so nice to be able to check in and talk to them (they did seem pretty confused though). I was able to turn notifications on, so I knew when they were up and about, as well as peace of mind in what they were eating. For the most part, I had no issue connecting to the camera, and there was the occasional delay. Nothing too major though, and definitely well worth it! This camera made leaving my babies so much better than any other time I’ve left them. Highly recommend!
Best Pet GPS Tracker

Works good
Just purchased for my puppy and so far everything is working good and I can find her. I like that I can push ring on my phone and it will ring to tell me where she is
-
great GPS for my dog
Absolutely love this GPS. It already has helped me find my dog that darted out of our yard. Such a peace of mind knowing I’ve done everything to protect my pup.
-
Best GPS Dog Tracker I’ve used!!!
I don’t think there is anything better than this GPS Tracker for dogs. The Cube makes great products at an affordable price, you can’t go wrong with them. I would highly recommend anyone who doesn’t have already buy one because you will not lose your dog at all. You know where Fido is at all times!!!

Hightech Automatic Dog Door
This is our second door. We actually wore out the first after 7 years. This works great to let our small dogs out in our fenced yard while leaving the cats inside!

Worked to keep out the raccoons!
I first bought the sure flap electronic cat door and the raccoons figured out how to get in immediately. I then bought this one and it worked like a charm. Very happy

Our Littles Love it!
Our Chi (16), Chiweenie (12), and our new Chi (6 mo old) really love going in and out. The Chi’s use it the most, they amaze us how many times a day they have been using it. In fact they just went out again. Thank you!
Best Robot Vacuum for Pets

Very happy!
I'm happy with my purchase! I was easily able to set it up (though it took some figuring out on my part because there isn't a clear "getting started" section in the instructions). I was able to connect it to my Google Home and was able to set up the app successfully. The auto-docking for the charger is also working well. I'm looking forward to not having to vacuum up cat litter off my hardwood floors every day!

My New Best Friend!
I live with three cats who are adored, but they do come with a couple of annoying traits: shedding and tracking litter. I constantly walked around with a broom in my hand. However, now that I've found my new best friend, the Pure Clean Robot Vacuum, I can wake up in the morning to clean floors! It was easy to set up, even for someone like me, with two left hands. Runs quiet, does what it promised, and no problems so far, even for an 82 year old. I'll leave an update in a few months, but for right now, I'm thrilled! Thank you for my new best friend. (My cats thank you, also. They are fascinated by it, and it keeps them occupied any time it's...

Love our new vacuum!
I own a Kirby which I’ve had for years. Based on how much our cat sheds, I thought I’d give this product a try without high hopes that it would be as effective. So impressed with the results!! While our cat isn’t thrilled with it, she’s adjusting. This vacuum is a great way to take care of business without having to make a racket and saves on my back too!

My Dog Is Obsessed
My dog is absolutely obsessed with this ball machine. We had a much older version that recently stopped working. There is supposed to be a lifetime warranty for a few of the mechanisms so I emailed the company about that, but did not get a response. My dog has a surgery upcoming soon and I did not want to waste any more of the beautiful fall weather for him, so ordered a new one from Chewy. Now that I see the new one, I am guessing the parts for the old one would not have been available as it has been completely revamped for the better. You can adjust how far it throws on the bottom, and please make sure to do this as a test run before your...

Awesome would buy again and again
This thing is awesome my dog will play forever on this. Only complaint is that we had to buy street hockeys. The tennis balls get so slobbering and don’t work at all. Street hockey balls is the key. My dog keeps himself busy while I am at work.
-
My dog loves it
Works really well. I leave it on all the time outside on my porch and have not had an issue. The remote is nice along with the ability to adjust the throw interval.

Breaktime for You!
If your cats like lasers this is a wonderful way to get them some play time if you don't have a lot of energy or if you need to do something else. It's almost like putting a toddler in front of a TV if you need to do something you don't want them getting into and you can't shut a door. The different modes are great for the cats different moods. I do recommend making sure you move it to different locations around your house and take advantage of the shape of the toy by rotating it on its sides changing the shape of the laser pattern to keep your cats from getting bored!
-
Fantastic toy!
My cat Rascal LOVES this laser toy! It's so easy to use and to change the angles and position of the lasers is a simple turn or two of the toy. Watching the laser point on the ceiling actually helped Rascal relax after chasing the laser around the room. This was a great investment!
-
Excellent!!
This is the best pet toy EVER!!! Our cat LOVES it. I just know my dog would have also. This is hilarious especially when we add the hand held lasar light too. It keeps our Chunk busy! The only down side to it for us, is that we have to set it on it's side so the light hits the ground more.
Best Automatic Pet Feeder for Multi-Pet Households

Works Great!
We have 4 cats in our house and one has a bit of a weight problem. I bought 2 of these and programmed one for Mouse to measure her food, and the other one for our other 3 cats, who are all at healthy weights. The learning curve was short - they all figured it out right away. Very easy to use and set up, and I actually like the modern and clean look of these feeders better than the open bowls. Hopefully Mouse is on the way to a healthy weight!

Really works
I have a cat who is very skittish and who grazes at her food throughout the day and night. Combine that with a new cat who eats everything in sight and I was afraid she'd starve. The training stages on this are excellent. The cat freaks out when the bowl moves, when it changes, if someone is looking at her while she eats and she was not having an automatic door moving over it. We had to spend a week at the training stage where the door doesn't move at all. After that hurdle a couple days at stage 2 (door jiggles when approached), a couple more at each stage of greater door movement and now fully automatic it is a game changer for her. ...

I LOVE THIS FEEDER
I LOVE THIS FEEDER. I have to feed my cats separately and try to keep one from stealing the other's food. This does the job for me! My cats are microchipped and I use this for the cat who nibbles instead of gulping down her food and then stealing the other cat's food. It took about 2 weeks to train my kitty to use it, and she now can do it all on her own. It makes it so much easier come feeding time. My vet had recommended a microchip feeder, and I am very happy with this one. Do follow the instructions to help your cat get used to the movement of the flap. My kitty is skittish and jumpy, but she has adapted to this much more easily...

Take my family to work - Best Gift Ever!
My wife gave this to me for my birthday and it's been the greatest gift. I had been working from home during Covid but recently returned to the office. Now I have this awesome frame on my desk scrolling through pictures of my family and our Australian Labradoodles! It took a couple minutes to set up and a breeze to add photos. Thanks Chewy! I just love how cool this is and I'm grateful to be reminded of what really matters while I'm away from home.

Perfect gift for anyone who loves fur babies!
I've been a fan of Aura frames for a while now. I own two and love seeing all my memories. I have kids so that means I have a TON (if printed probably a literal ton) of photos on my phone. With the free unlimited storage I am able to share all of them, not that all should be shared, and the app makes this super easy to do. When I saw BUDDY, I was so excited. My sister is a huge animal lover so this was the perfect gift for her, her fur babies are her kids. First, the gift box is adorable and feels premium, so you know it's a quality gift. But my favorite thing is when you show an image some love. The frame shows floating paws ... SO...

Best gift ever! Five stars!
I bought this gift for my niece- she is OBSESSED with animals. We uploaded every single photo she has on her phone of all the pets she's met over the past years within seconds. It's such a thoughtful gift for any animal lover. I will definitely be buying one for myself so we can share photos of all the animals we meet on each other's frames. Such a great way to stay connected.
