I will let the cat out of the bag. Eufy advertises its Pet Camera as a dog camera, with features like Diary and bark alert. I do not own a dog. I used it to lure my cats into view with the promise of treats while I was on vacation.
Even if it referred to them as dogs, it still detected them. My cats would not like that. I don't know why Eufy didn't just use the catchall term pet instead of the more inclusive dog, but it doesn't really matter. This is a great way to keep an eye on your fluffy friends.
In for a treat.

This pet camera is just as easy to control as the other security cameras you can use to monitor your pets. Like other specific pet cameras, this one has features for our furry friends.
They can give you treats when you are not at home. You can use the app on your phone to shoot treats while you are away. When choosing between the three levels of ejection intensity, keep in mind that with Eufy's model, it is more like slingshotting them across the room, so keep that in mind.
When I pulled the Eufy Pet Camera out of the closet before I went on vacation a few months after I first used it, my cat Huxley assumed his position in front of it. I got up- close views of both my cats as they inspected the treat hole in the body of the camera when his eagerness got the best of his sister Eely-Rue.
The camera has an anti-clog design that makes it hard for treats to get stuck. Eufy does not recommend breaking apart larger treats. If you have a large dog who likes Milk-Bones, you may need to find something smaller.
After four days, it was only a quarter empty. You are only giving a few treats a day, not a full meal. The entire camera body is about 9 inches tall. It isn't easy to blend into your bookshelf as other cameras might.
The treat holder can be put in the dishwasher. A rambunctious dog shouldn't be able to open the lid and eat them all. You would need a really strong, determined dog to knock it over in the right way.
