Let’s face it: most of us spoil our pets more than we do ourselves. And thanks to a wave of new pet tech products, it’s never been easier to upgrade your furry friend’s lifestyle while pretending it’s a practical purchase. ("It’s for their health", we tell ourselves, while ordering a fourth smart toy.)

Whether you're into automation, health tracking, or just having cool gadgets that make your friends say "Wait, what is that?", here are five of the most exciting new tech products for pets in 2025.

1. Smart Feeders with Nutrition AI

Gone are the days of scooping kibble and guessing portions. Today’s smart feeders not only dispense food, they adjust portion sizes based on your pet’s age, weight, activity level, and even their breed.

Some models feature:

• Facial recognition (so the cat doesn’t steal the dog’s food)

• Feeding reminders synced with your schedule

• Alerts if your pet skips a meal or eats less than usual

Why you want it: It’s like a dietitian, personal assistant, and food dispenser all in one. Perfect for busy pet parents or pets on prescription diets.

2. Wearable Pet Health Trackers

You’ve heard of fitness watches. Now imagine one for your dog or cat—but it tracks more than just steps. New models go beyond basic activity monitoring and offer:

• Heart rate and respiratory tracking

• Sleep quality reports

• Stress level detection

• Real-time alerts for abnormal behaviour

Some even sync directly with your vet’s office for remote monitoring. Think of it as Apple Watch meets wellness check-up, on a collar.

Why you want it: It gives you insights into your pet’s health you wouldn’t notice with the naked eye, and can flag issues early.

3. AI-Powered Pet Cameras with Two-Way Interaction

Pet cameras have officially evolved. The latest models use artificial intelligence to learn your pet’s routine, detect unusual behaviour, and send smart alerts—not just “motion detected” but “your dog is pacing, possibly stressed.”

Features now include:

• Real-time bark or meow detection

• Automatic treat dispensing when your pet is calm

• Laser toys you control from your phone

• Two-way talk with voice recognition (your voice, not the delivery driver’s)

Why you want it: Because shouting “get off the counter” from your phone at 2 p.m. is oddly satisfying.

4. Interactive Smart Toys That React to Your Pet

Forget the squeaky toy from the supermarket. These next-gen smart toys use motion sensors, AI, and sometimes even scent tracking to adapt their behaviour based on how your pet plays.

Some examples:

• A ball that changes speed based on your dog’s engagement

• Puzzle toys that level up in difficulty

• Cat toys that mimic prey movement and respond when pawed

Why you want it: Keeps your pet mentally stimulated while you’re on Zoom meetings pretending your mic is muted.

5. Pet DNA + Health Testing Kits with Personalized Wellness Plans

At-home DNA kits for pets have gone next level. The newest versions don’t just tell you your dog is 12% Husky and 88% Food Motivated—they break down potential genetic health risks, sensitivities, and even tailor supplement or diet recommendations.

Combine that with gut microbiome testing, and you’ve got a full wellness profile mailed to your door.

Why you want it: Because understanding your pet’s unique biology helps you care for them smarter—and because let’s be honest, we’re all curious.

Honorable Mentions (Because I Couldn't Help Myself):

• Self-cleaning litter boxes with odour monitoring

• Smart collars with built-in GPS and invisible fence controls

• Subscription boxes that tailor toys and treats based on AI-collected behaviour data

Yes, these things exist. No, I don’t know how we lived without them.

Final Thoughts

Pet tech in 2025 isn’t just about novelty—it’s about giving our animals longer, healthier, and more enriched lives. Whether you're tracking sleep patterns, customising their dinner, or tossing them treats from 1,000 miles away, the future of pet ownership is smart, connected, and surprisingly adorable.

So, go ahead. Get the camera. Get the feeder. Let your cat judge you from multiple angles in HD.

You deserve it. And frankly, so do they.
