PetcubeReviews of petcube.com

The device we bought completely satisfies our expectations. We are monitoring our two cats on one of the rooms of our apartment, and we are already thinking on the possibility of buying another Petcube for other room. The mobile app to control the Petcube device works fine. We recommend this device to other pet owners.

I love my Petcube! I don't know how I got along without it. It's so easy to hook up! It has sound a motion detection. If you're at work or out running errands, you will get sound or motion activated notifications. You can always keep an eye on your beloved pets. My Husky is family! The peace of mind is awesome! I don't have to worry about what's going on at home anymore and it's completely worth it!

This is a unique and ingenious device that provides both novelty and utility functions. What pet owner wouldn't want to check in on their pets while away from home? That's a valuable product right there. But the added feature of allowing pet owners (and even invited friends!) to remotely toss a treat every now and then is a special bonus. You can even talk to your pets (and they can talk back)! This device is sturdy. It's bottom-heavy, wide and thick enough to remove worries about it falling over. It's very easy to set up and connect to your home WiFi network. And it's lots of fun! Constructive observations I have so far are as follows: #1 - the motion detection records a bit late after the action occurs. That means your pet may have already walked across the room before the video starts to record. However, this is not very surprising because most devices like this have a slight delay before recording. #2 - I wish there was a button on the front of the device to disconnect it from the internet. If you have this device in a common area, you have to unplug it or shut it down through the app if you expect to engage in any activity that you don't want chronicled on the internet. #3 - sometimes treats get stuck in the rubber circular device that transfers treats from the hopper to the launching bay. I am convinced that the shape of the treats has a lot to do with the chances of them jamming. Our device came with a small bag of dome-shaped treats. They got stuck occasionally and I had to remove the hopper to clear the jam. I think ball shaped treats would do best but regardless, users should never shake treats after loading them into the hopper because that will pack them in tighter and increase the chances of jamming. Lastly, this device is at a price point that may prevent some people from purchasing it. That is unfortunate because I think it is worth every penny. As a novelty product, people may find it a bit steep. But, then again, pet lovers spend bank on their critters all the time. But, if you consider that it also serves as an internal home security device as well, the price is quite on par with similar home security devices. And those devices can’t throw food at intruders, misbehaving housekeepers or babysitters!

Super easy to use and setup! Surprisingly great picture quality for such a small device. Stopped our dog from chewing on a child's toy! Have already recommended to fellow dog lovers : )

you. The quality of video is very good and the night vision works well; although we do leave a light on when we leave him at night. What I do suggest is that you do have to have a good Internet connection for this to work well. The Petcube Play, laser cam has a red laser light integrated in it that my dog loves to play with when we are at home. Personally, I would never turn it on when I’m away. Also, the voice feature works well, you can hear the dog and they can hear you like you are in the room with them, but we won’t ever use it (unless it is necessary) because we think it might make him edgy to hear us and not see us. The only thing I don’t like, is that there is no Off and On button, at least I have not found it. Also, that it doesn’t come with a stand to place on the floor or to the edge of a table was a negative for us. Other than that, it is very user friendly and we have already recommended it to other pet parents (you can also use it as a normal “spy” camera, not only for pets *wink wink* lol).

I am single cat's mom and often don't get home until late, always worry how is my baby doing there alone. I have a very sensitive cat, who really cries every time I leave him for long. With Petcube bites me and the cat now have the way to communicate. It's just been few days but I'm not worried anymore when I stay out for few more hours and also I can give him some treats. When I turn on the sound and talk he really knows that I'm there. He also learned the sound of the bites machine very fast and always comes very excited to gather them.

I love this product!! I have a dog with anxiety so I love to be able to check in on her whenever I can... talking to her and throwing the treats really seems to be helping and giving her comfort at times :) it’s very easy to setup and also easy to use the app.. everything is straight forward! The one advice I would give is to either mount the product on your wall or set it on a high shelf because my dog likes to inspect it often and lick all the crumbs where the treats come out!

Customer service is horrible.
