Furbo Dog Camera Review (2026): Watching and Treating a Dog From Anywhere

Separation anxiety in dogs is a real problem for a lot of owners heading back to in person work, and the Furbo camera's treat tossing feature is specifically designed to give some interaction while away. After using it through a return to office transition with an anxious dog, it made a genuine difference in daily peace of mind.

Who it's for

This suits dog owners who are away from home for extended periods and want more than just passive video monitoring, especially anyone dealing with a dog showing signs of separation anxiety. Owners who are home most of the day may not get enough use out of the remote features to justify the cost.

What we liked

• The remote treat tossing feature gave a way to interact with an anxious dog during the day, not just watch them on camera.
• Full HD video with night vision provided clear footage at any time of day, which matters for actually checking in on behavior.
• Barking alerts notified us of unusual activity, like a delivery causing a barking episode, without needing to check the app constantly.

What could be better

• The treat dispenser needs regular refilling and occasional cleaning to keep operating smoothly.
• Ongoing subscription costs apply for some advanced features beyond the core camera and treat tossing functions.

Key specs, explained

2 way audio lets you speak to your dog remotely through the app, which combined with treat tossing creates a more complete interaction than a typical one way pet camera, since the dog can hear a familiar voice alongside receiving a treat. Barking alerts use sound detection to notify you when the camera picks up barking, which helps identify patterns, like whether a dog is anxious at a specific time of day or reacting to something specific happening outside.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does the treat tossing feature actually work reliably? Yes, most owners find it dispenses reliably, though the size and type of treat used affects consistency, with the recommended treat size working best.

Q: Is a subscription required for basic features? Core features like live viewing, treat tossing, and barking alerts work without a subscription, though some advanced AI features require an add on plan.

Should you buy it?

For dog owners wanting genuine interaction while away, not just passive monitoring, this remains one of the most useful pet cameras available.
