Pet tech deals

Our pick: Petcube Play 2

$199 at Amazon (save $30)

Why we love it

Pet cameras that toss treats are all the rage these days, but if you have a cat that responds better to playtime than they do to snacks, the Petcube Play 2 is a great alternative. You'll still get an interactive function, but instead of spitting out food, the Play 2 employs a laser pointer toy that'll keep your cat occupied while you're busy or out to lunch. Of course, you'll get all the other camera features that you'll find in other Petcube devices, including 1080p video streaming, 2-way audio, built-in Alexa support, and more. (Note that you should avoid playing with laser toys with dogs).

Our pick: Fable Pets' The Game

$44 at Fable Pets (save $11 with code LOVE20)

Why we love it

Fable's The Game is a multipurpose feeder, toy, and enrichment game for dogs that we gave a pretty nice score in our review. If you've ever seen a wobble bowl feeder, The Game works in a similar way: Fill it up with a cup of dry food, and let your pup knock it around to get the tasty bits to fall out, all while you get some much-needed relaxation time.

Our pick: Embark Dog DNA Kit

$159 at Amazon (save $40)

Why we love it

The Embark Dog DNA kit helps you find out your dog's breed, type, and variety — but perhaps most valuable of all, you can learn about potential health risks that your dog's breed is prone to, and use those insights to take preventative measures with the assistance of your vet. The test also lets you find and connect with other dogs that share DNA with yours. Did someone say family reunion?
