For pet owners, particularly those with young puppies and curious kittens, the thought of leaving them alone at home can be anxiety-inducing. We love our furry companions, but when it comes to ensuring their safety and monitoring their behaviour, internal & external monitoring cameras are an invaluable tool.
4 ways indoor & outdoor cameras can make your life easier as a pet parent:
1. Security - According to the Blue Cross, puppies in the UK can cost up to £3,000 upfront, so not only are they are a new best friend, they’re also a hefty financial commitment. Sadly, this also makes them targets for theft. Having indoor & outdoor cameras that can be viewed live or recorded via your smart phone is essential for spotting any unusual behaviour.
2. Safety - The top priority for any pet owner is the safety of their pets. Puppies and kittens have a knack for finding trouble, whether it's chewing on electrical cords or exploring potentially dangerous areas. A camera will help you keep an eye on them and help you stop any behaviours that might cause them harm, quickly.
3. Behavioural Insights - Young pets can exhibit a wide range of behaviours, and sometimes these can be destructive or indicative of separation anxiety. Observe their activities when you are not in the room, identify any problematic habits, and address these issues through training or environmental adjustments.
4. Health and Well-being - If you are unfortunate enough to have to take a trip to the vets, they will want information on your pets eating, drinking and toileting habits. This can be tricky to manage if you’re often out of the house, but having a live feed directly into your home can make this easier.
