Pet owners love gifts that make life with their pets easier: checking in while they're at work, keeping feeding on schedule, finding an escape artist, and cleaning up fur.
We picked four practical gifts for dog and cat owners from well-known pet tech and cleaning brands.
What to Look For
- Dog or cat: Some gifts suit both; trackers and treat cameras are mainly for dogs.
- Subscription costs: GPS collars and some camera features require a paid plan.
- Size: Collars and feeders are sized for different pets.
- Wi-Fi: Smart pet devices need a reliable Wi-Fi connection.
- Cleaning: Pet hair tools help every pet owner.
