All these modern technologies will not only make your life easier, but they will also improve the overall quality of living for your pets as well. Whether it’s a smart food container or a remote-controlled air-conditioned pet house, there are many different devices designed to make caring for your pet easier. Stay with us, and we’ll go over the best Bluetooth pet products on the market.

Making your smart home pet friendly

Today, you can install all kinds of smart devices designed to make your pet’s life much more comfortable. Modern technologies have thought of everything from automatic water feeders, automatic dog feeders, to even odor eliminators.

Most of these devices are operated through a mobile app, and they can sync with the rest of your smart home, providing you with complete control at all times. Smart devices for pets are an excellent choice for people who spend a lot of time at work, but it’s also helpful if you have to leave your home for a few days. You will still be able to remotely take care of your pet without having to give out your home keys to a neighbor. 

Let’s look at the most popular pet-friendly smart home devices on the market. We’ll explain how they work, why you need them, and how you can quickly incorporate everything into your existing smart home system. 

Getting started

If you've already set up a smart home hub, all you need to do to enable your pet-friendly devices is to connect them to the system. On the other hand, if these are your first smart home devices, you’ll first have to create a hub. 

It will act as the brain of your smart home, allowing you to control every device from one single dashboard. Once you set it up, you can add as many smart devices as you like. When it comes to choosing the right hub, it all depends on your personal preference and smartphone device. You can opt for voice-controlled devices such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home, but you can also try Samsung’s or Apple’s versions of these products.

The best thing to do is get the smart home hub that complements your existing devices and services. So, if you have a Samsung smartphone, you should download Samsung’s smart home hub. Even though you might control the devices through a different hub, you might experience connectivity and control issues. 

Automatic water fountain

Ensuring that your dog or cat has access to fresh water at all times is critical for the health of your pet. However, if you’re away from home a lot, your pets could run out of water and be thirsty for hours until you get back. 

That’s where an automatic water feeder comes in. It’s designed to provide your dog with a constant supply of fresh, clean water throughout the day. Once you install an automatic water feeder, it will connect to your WIFI, providing you with complete control through a smartphone app. From there, you can set up the device using one of many available programs. You can either schedule automatic feeding features every few hours or simply tell the device to add water whenever the tray is empty.

Apart from ensuring that your dog has access to freshwater, ensuring that it’s never hungry is equally essential. Luckily, there are a few different Bluetooth pet products designed to help you with that too. Some of them are designed to provide your dog with a few days of food; others come with a built-in digital scale that tracks the weight of food your dog consumes. 

The idea is to make sure that your pet always has access to fresh food, and you can control how much it eats by using a smartphone app. All dog automatic feeder options are straightforward to set up. Once you fill the container with food, the automatic features will take care of feeding your dog.

Smart pet door

Having a pet door that provides your dogs and cats with easy access to the yard at all times has made owning pets much more straightforward. However, most traditional pet doors pose a serious threat to home safety. An unsecured pet door causes most home invasions. If the doors are designed for a large dog, a thief can get inside without a problem. Even smaller doors are a risk as they can be used to unlock the door from the inside. 

Intelligent pet doors come with built-in locks that ensure that no one can get inside your home when you’re away. Moreover, these doors are also designed to keep pests out, and they feature a waterproof lining with a sealed flap that prevents water from getting inside the house.

While dog houses might not be the best choice if you live in a condo, if Fido spends most of its time outside in your yard, a dog house is a must. That's even more important if you live in an area with extreme temperatures. Too much heat can dehydrate your dog and even lead to a heat stroke. 

However, you can make sure that that never happens by getting a smart pet house or a dog bed. These devices come with built-in fans and air cooling systems that will keep your dog cool during hot summer days.
