The Furbo 360 sits on a table, rotates to follow your dog and tosses treats on command from your phone. It is the dog camera most people have heard of, and the subscription question is the main thing to understand before you buy.
I have not owned the Furbo 360. This review is built from the maker’s published specs and independent reviews, linked below. For more picks, see the Pet Cams hub .

What reviewers like
- It turns. You can find the dog anywhere in the room.
- Barking alerts and treat tossing work without a plan.
- Simple app that the whole family can use.
What to watch for
- The smart alerts and video history need Furbo Nanny, a monthly or yearly cost.
- 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only.
- Tabletop only, so a curious dog can reach it.
Who should buy it
Buy it for a dog with separation anxiety in an open room. If you mount it on a wall or have cats, look at the Petcube.
What you get without a plan
Per Furbo and PawBudget, the free features are live view, two-way audio, treat tossing, voice control and barking alerts. That is enough for checking in on a dog during the day and tossing a treat when you see them.
What Furbo Nanny adds
Furbo Nanny is the subscription. It adds saved video, activity and emergency alerts, Pet ID, reports and calming sounds, per Furbo’s FAQ and PawBudget. There are two US tiers, Standard and Premium, billed monthly or yearly. The AI features that make it a smart camera live mostly inside Nanny.
Hardware
The camera records 1080p with 4x zoom and color night vision, and it rotates 360 degrees so you can find the dog anywhere in the room. The hopper holds about 100 treats of the right size. It needs 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and a 5V power source. The Independent’s tester with a cockapoo found the dog warmed to it, but asked the fair question of whether the ongoing plan is worth it.
Placement
It is a tabletop camera. Put it on a shelf or counter the dog cannot reach, near an outlet and within range of a 2.4 GHz network. Treat tossing works best with open floor in front of it.
Is a pet camera worth it?
For a dog with separation anxiety, barking alerts and a voice through the speaker can help you see what is going on and adjust training. For a calm dog, a basic security camera may do the same job.
Before you buy
Decide whether you want the AI alerts. If you only want to look in and toss a treat, the free features cover it and you can skip the plan entirely. If you want to know when the dog is barking for a long stretch or something unusual happens while you are at work, plan on Nanny. Either way, check that your router broadcasts a 2.4 GHz network, since many newer mesh systems combine bands and some cameras struggle to join.
Alternatives
- Petcube Bites 2 Lite. Wide fixed view, wall mount, bigger hopper.
- A regular indoor security camera. Cheaper, no treats.
Our take
AI Score note: research-based, not hands-on. The best all-round dog camera. Budget for the plan if you want AI alerts. This is my editorial read of published reviews, not a rating.
Prices move a lot in November. Check today’s price before you buy: See the Furbo 360 on Amazon .
