1. Budget Friendly Dog Camera
If you can’t stretch to a Furbo, there are cheaper options for keeping an eye on your furry friend. Take a closer look at the Mibo from SpotCam.
The SpotCam Mibo is a great pet camera with excellent video quality. It will appeal to dog lovers who want to check in with their four-legged friends but aren’t looking for treat dispensers.
The Mibo features 2k resolution (Quad HD) so 2304 x 1296. Generally the higher the pixels the clearer the image quality and video recording, so big tick for video quality!
The Mibo can pan a full 360° and tilt through 90° so reduces potential blind spots and allows it to follow you dog fairly smoothly around the space so you don't miss a thing.
Or in our case simply watch your dog sleep on their bed - for hours.
The phone app was incredibly easy to use and you can use the two way audio to talk to your dog through your phone. It also comes with a number of positioning and mounting options.
Just like all SpotCam monitoring cameras, Mibo is equipped with a free 24-hour full-time cloud recording plan.
So you can replay video recorded in the last 24-hours to your heart's content.
I particularly loved that I could export and share footage with friends and family.
Admittedly, there are cheaper pet camera options available but they will not offer the same level of features. If you are looking for a pet camera then the Mibo deserves a place on your shortlist.

2. Best GPS Tracker
If you enjoy long walks with your dog off lead or have a dog who's recall isn't quite what it should be, then a GPS Tracker for dogs could be a great investment.

Fitted to your dog's collar, it can help make sure that your dog is safe at all times. Basically, a GPS chip in the tracker reports your dog's position and sends the info to your smartphone via mobile coverage.
UK company Pawfit, offer a GPS tracker designed specifically with your four-legged friend in mind.
Lightweight, waterproof and loaded with a whole range of cutting edge features, it's an accomplished GPS Tracker without top-end subscription prices.
Having fully tested the Pawfit 2 Pet Tracker we can certainly recommend it based on a solid GPS performance, superior collar attachment, safety alerts, geofence options and the host of additional smart features.
Just be aware that it’s only suitable for dogs over 4kg. The truth is that the Pawfit 2 tracker is a very clever piece of kit.
Clearly it can't replace solid recall training and teaching your dog to come back to you when off-lead is essential for keeping your four-legged friend safe and out of trouble. What it does offer is another layer of safety and protection.
Anything from unexpected fireworks to squirrels or aggressive dogs, can cause your dog to run off and suddenly all your training can go straight out the window.

3. Best Dog Activity Monitor
Did you know that over 50% of dogs in the UK are overweight ! Activity Monitors are amazing dog walking gadgets and are a fun new way to encourage you and your dog to be more active whilst monitoring their health.
Think of them as Fitbits for dogs, mounted on their collar, they record your dog’s movement alongside periods of sleep and rest giving you a picture of their activity levels. UK company PitPat offer a tiny, lightweight device which utilises smart technology to monitor and access your dog's movements throughout the day.
It links to your phone by bluetooth so you can access the data and keep a monitor sleep and exercise.
Admittedly they can't replace more traditional pet care but they are a useful tool you can use to help assess your dog's health. We love that they're a great dog walking gadget so you can see just how far your dog has run around compared to you.
With no ongoing subscription costs, Activity Monitors are a great value way of keeping an eye on your dog's overall health.
PitPat doesn't have GPS, if you're looking for a GPS Tracker, checkout Pawfit 2 at #3.

4. BEST Dog Ball Launcher
For all those energetic dogs with not so energetic owners !An automatic ball launcher for dogs that love to chase and play fetch but with exhausted owners who just need a cuppa, a dog tennis ball launcher has to be one of the best canine inventions bar none.
Any ball launcher for dogs is a great way to keep your pup in shape, maintain its health, and help him lose weight by constantly fetching the ball.
Hyper Fetch offer the choice of two different ball launchers on the UK market and we review the smaller one. This launcher offers the choice of three different distance settings at 10ft, 20ft and 30ft means that it is an ideal piece of tech for any garden.
At a push you could even use it in the house. It comes with a an AC adapter or can operate with batteries (6 x C not included). Better still, there's a money back guarantee if you're not satisfied with the Hyper Fetch.
The design is sleek and compact and reasonably easy to clean. It's worth noting that 3 'mini' balls are provided but if you lose these, replacements are available from Amazon.
A bit of a pain not being able to use standard tennis balls until you realise that wet or partly dirty balls can cause the launcher to malfunction.
