Overview
The Furbo 360 is a pet camera that rotates a full 360 degrees, so you can follow your pet around the room instead of staring at one fixed angle. You can talk through it, hear what is happening, and toss a small snack from its built-in launcher as a reward or a distraction. Colour night vision means evening check-ins show more than grey shapes. It is one of the best-known names in pet cameras.
The Amazon listings use the same ASIN in both stores but different names: Amazon.ca titles it a cat camera, and Amazon.com calls it a dog camera. It is the same Furbo 360 device family either way. The listing we link is the version that does not require a paid plan to activate; Furbo also sells listings marked as needing a plan, so check the title.

Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It suits owners who want to check in during the day and interact, not just watch. The treat toss and voice are handy for rewarding calm behaviour or redirecting a dog that is getting restless. It also gives you a simple way to see how long a dog takes to settle after you leave. Cat owners can use it too, which is why Amazon.ca markets it that way. If you want to understand your cat’s mixed signals while you watch, our article on why cats lick then bite is a good read.
Skip it if your router only offers 5 GHz or a combined network you cannot split, since it connects on 2.4 GHz only. The launcher can jam on irregular snacks, and the launch noise startles some pets at first. If your dog has serious separation distress, a camera is a monitoring tool, not a fix; ask your vet or a qualified behaviourist.
Costs to know about
Without a subscription you get live view, rotation, two-way audio, treat tossing and basic bark alerts. Furbo’s optional Dog Nanny plan adds smart alerts, cloud recordings and auto-tracking, billed monthly or yearly. The plan pricing we found on Furbo’s help centre was in US dollars, so check the Canadian price before subscribing. You will also need small, round dry snacks that fit the launcher. Without the plan you will not get recorded clips, so you only see what happens while you are watching live.
How it compares
The PETLIBRO Granary camera feeder has a fixed camera but also dispenses full meals on schedule, so it may replace two devices. For dogs that roam outdoors, a tracker like the Tractive DOG 6 covers what a home camera cannot. All picks are in our smart pet tech guide.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Furbo 360 work without a subscription?
Yes, for the core features. Live view, 360-degree rotation, two-way audio, treat tossing and basic bark alerts all work without a plan on the listing we link. Furbo's optional Dog Nanny subscription adds smart alerts, cloud recordings and auto-tracking.
Why is the Furbo 360 called a cat camera on Amazon.ca?
Amazon.ca titles this ASIN as a cat camera, while Amazon.com titles it a dog camera. It is the same Furbo 360 device family. Furbo markets separate dog and cat versions in some regions, so check the listing photos and description if the difference matters to you.
Does the Furbo 360 work on 5 GHz Wi-Fi?
No. Furbo lists 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only. If your router broadcasts a single combined network, you may need to enable a separate 2.4 GHz network or use your router's compatibility setting during setup. Once connected, the camera works normally.
What snacks fit in the Furbo 360 launcher?
Small, round, dry snacks work best; the launcher holds about 100. Irregular, soft or large pieces can jam. Keep snacks to a small share of your pet's daily food, and follow your vet's advice if your pet is on a special diet.
