Furbo has slashed the price of its 360° pet camera, saving customers over £150
Pet owners will know all too well the anxiety that comes with leaving our beloved furry family members alone during office days or over the weekend. But for those wanting to keep an eye on their fluffy companions when out, a pet camera is the ideal solution.
With prices ranging from £20 to over £200, it can be overwhelming deciding which gadget to choose. However, pet camera brand Furbo has made things easier by cutting the price of its treat-tossing, pet-monitoring device over the festive period by £167.
With options for both cats and dogs, its acclaimed Furbo 360° Dog Camera and Furbo 360° Cat Camera typically retails at £199. But for a limited time, the gadget is down to £32. That’s a total saving of £167, reports the Mirror.
This price is the cost of the device when bought with the brand’s subscription, Furbo Nanny. The standard subscription is now £5.59 a month (billed annually), down from £7.99, or for those wanting an all-in-one device, the premium subscription is reduced to £6.99 from the usual £9.99. So, shoppers will need to buy both the £32 camera and the Furbo Nanny subscription to take advantage of this discount.
It works out cheaper than simply buying the camera alone, which will still cost £129.

The pet camera brand has massively reduced the price of its best-selling Furbo 360° Dog Camera and feline iteration by £167 when purchase with its premium subscription.
As the proud owner/companion to a two-year-old Tuxedo cat I have this exact camera – complete with premium Furbo Nanny – it’s well worth it as it gives total peace of mind when leaving pets to their own devices.
Packed with amazing features that make it worth the money, the Furbo cam comes equipped with a wide lens, 360-degree rotation, Full HD 1080p vision and 4x zoom.
Not to mention enhanced night vision for when it gets dark. It also includes an auto-tracking feature that follows our furry friends as they move around the room.
What’s more is that, unlike a lot of security cameras, it boasts a stunning, almost Scandi-style design in black and white, which makes it very aesthetically pleasing.
The Furbo camera also allows pet owners to interact with their pets through its two-way audio. But that’s not all as it can even toss treats remotely with a simple finger swipe.
Now, I will say that all these features are available without needing a Furbo Nanny subscription.
But with Furbo Nanny, users can keep an eye on their pet with a picture-in-picture view that stays on screen while using the phone. It also records and provides daily activity summaries, behaviour tracking, and early-warning insights into potential health issues – it can let users know when pets are crying, eating, poorly and more.
It even identifies and logs moments like zoomies, ‘selfies’ and captures those moments that could otherwise be missed.
An added bonus for cat owners is the hanging feather-toy attachment that keeps kitties entertained throughout the day (although my one drawback is that vigorous attempts at taking it to my cat’s hiding places resulted in the toy being pulled from said camera… so a bit more strength may be required in future).
In shopping writer Beth’s hunt for the perfect pet-monitoring device for her dogs, she also tested the likes of the Petcube Bites 2 Lite Interactive WiFi Pet Monitoring Camera, currently on sale at £99.99 on Amazon. While it’s a decent gadget with a treat-tossing feature, it doesn’t rotate like the Furbo.
Its size is also an advantage, which isn’t what I can say about Furbo, as one drawback of the Furbo is its size – it’s rather large and not so discreet.
For those after something more compact, the Tapo TC70 Pan/Tilt Indoor Camera makes a solid choice at £19.99 from Argos, though it lacks treat-dispensing features and ability to check on the space throughout the day – shoppers must pay for premium subscriptions for activity logs.
If that’s a dealbreaker, Furbo has also slashed the price of its Mini 360. Normally retailing at £107, the more compact model is now £66 for the device, or as little as £24 with a subscription.
Despite its reduced size, it still delivers a complete 360-degree view, 2K QHD video quality and a Lite Treat Toss function.
I’m not the only one who’s been left thoroughly impressed by Furbo’s Dog and Cat cameras, as on Amazon the gadgets have a 4.2-star with shoppers raving it as the ‘best’ camera.
One delighted customer commented: “Amazing product, The picture quality is great and the night vision mode makes it so much easier to check up on my dog now the mornings are darker! I love how it notifies you of pet activity in case there is an emergency.”
Another shared: “This is an outstanding device, absolutely love the treat tosser! It launches treats high and far, which keeps my dogs entertained. The 360° camera offers excellent coverage, and the ability to talk to your dogs remotely is incredibly reassuring.
“One unexpected but amazing feature is the smart alerts. I had no idea it would notify me when my dog is barking, and even better, it automatically records during those moments, so I can review the footage later. It’s been a game changer for peace of mind.”
“Best gadget I ever bought,” said another who added, while someone else said: “I would say if you’re looking for a solution to leave your dog alone then this is an absolute life-saving bit of kit.”
Though some customers felt it wasn’t quite suitable for their needs, remarking: “This gets lots of reviews as the best pet camera but it’s very bulky and not great if you want to travel with it. Easy to set up.”
Someone else noted: “I love that I can keep an eye on my dog when I’m away from home and interact with him. The treat tossing feature is good, he loves it when I use this. The 360 rotation is useful, especially if you’re dog is regularly on the move.”
