Preparation
Whether you’re planning an out-of-town family vacation or are heading back to a busy office job, a pet camera or monitor can help ease your anxiety about leaving your animals alone at home. “Pet cameras and monitoring systems can give pet parents peace of mind when they are out of the house,” says Dr. Emily Wilson, DVM at Fuzzy - The Pet Parent Company. “Particularly with many pet parents starting to return to working in offices, this can be a great transition for pets and parents, alike.”
Pet cameras can also be a valuable training tool to help alert you to unwanted behaviors such as barking, and provide you with the potential to intervene with a verbal command. “There are many new options available with pet camera monitoring systems, so it’s important for pet parents to think about the specific intended use for their own pet,” Wilson explains. “If you have an anxious dog or cat, then it may be useful to make sure that there is a two-way microphone or video component so your pet can hear or see you, and if you have an active younger dog that needs enrichment, then finding a monitoring system that dispenses treats or that you can play a game of laser with, may be useful.”
