Furbo Dog Nanny
Furbo Dog Nanny is a premium dog monitoring service that alerts dog owners to dog activities and potential dangers in real-time. Notifications such as Dog Activity Alert, Person Alert, and Dog Selfie Alert allows dog parents to know exactly what is happening at home. Each alert is coupled with automatic cloud-recording. If users are not able to check-in, in real-time, they can go back to see what triggered strange behavior with short, event-specific video clips.[8][9]
In addition to preventing potentially dangerous situations, Furbo Dog Nanny captures moments of joy throughout the day. From play time, to mischief, to visits from the dog walker, Furbo Dog Nanny documents it all. At the end of day, Furbo Dog Nanny compiles a “Doggie Diary,” a fun highlight video that captures your pup's best moments from the day - for easy review.
