From treat-tossing cameras to GPS trackers and even “talking” buttons, the latest tech gadgets for pets make it easier than ever to care for your furry companions.

Whether you’re looking to keep your dog entertained while you’re off the island, track your cat’s movements in real time, or finally figure out why your pup won’t stop barking, there’s a gadget out there for it.

Here are some top products making waves in 2025.

Pitpet Auto Cat and Dog Feeder
This automatic feeder is the perfect solution for busy pet owners, whether you’re working late, out with friends, or otherwise unavailable at mealtime. It holds up to six litres of food and can dispense six pre-set meals on a timer, lasting up to 35 days for a cat or 20 days for a small dog. A built-in ten-second voice recording feature even lets you “call” your pet when it’s time to eat. Available for $49 on amazon.com (https://shorturl.at/Bx3zR)

Pawport 

Imagine a pet door that doesn’t allow in bugs, rodents or intruders, or hot or cold air. The same safety features that prevent it from closing on your pet also stop small children from crawling through. A small Bluetooth device on your pet’s collar opens the door as they approach, with access settings that can be customised by time or weather. Preorder at pawport.com.

Shele Wireless Tracking Camera Dog and Cat Collar
Another way to keep an eye on your furry friend, the Shele Wireless collar has a built-in camera and GPS tracker that operate through a connected app.​ It’s a high-definition view of their world with 200 minutes of run time and loop recording that automatically overwrites old videos so you don’t need to worry about running out of space. Available at chewy.com (https://shorturl.at/lLq4H) for $59.99

Kurgo Mud Travel Dog Shower
Take your pooch out for a walk, and if there’s mud around, you can bet they’ll find it – and roll in it. Kurgo’s portable shower attachment helps you rinse them off before the mess ends up in your car or home. Attach it to a standard two-litre water bottle for up to a minute of shower time – perfect for quick clean-ups on the go. Available at chewy.com (https://shorturl.at/W15uI) for $14.43.

Brightkins’ Smarty Pooch Training Clicker

Hunger for Words’ Talking Pet Starter Set
Curious if your pet could “talk”?
