What a time to be alive!

Our dreams have come true.

Do you ever feel incredibly guilty leaving the house for work in the morning knowing that your dog will be left on his own for the day?

Is your phone’s wallpaper a cute photo of your pet?

Is your favourite part of the day coming home to a pet who is excited to see you?

We’ll you will be very happy to learn about this new gadget.

Imagine being able to check up on your pet when you are at work or away on holidays, without needing a human to hold them up to a screen.

PawChatz is a device that you stick to your wall at animal-eye-level which you can ring to chat to your dog or cat. You can also dispense treats from the device to praise your pet for chatting to you.

It can be accompanied by PawCall which is a gadget you pop on the floor for your pet to push when it wants to give you a ring.

Since the idea may be surreal and seem too good to be true, we’ll let the video explain it.

“We created the first PetChatz to give parents peace of mind that they could check in on their pets at any time to be sure they are happy and safe,”

Lisa Lavin, PetChatz founder and CEO said in a statement.

“Now, PetChatz HD and the PawCall accessory completes the circle to enable true two-way communications between pet and parent – all in high definition video with premium audio.”

The genius gadget has been available since August first, but don’t get too excited, as keeping in touch with your furry friends will cost you.

The PetChatz device will cost  you about €340 and the compatible PawCall accessory costs about €90.

It will also take a lot of patience and time to train your animal to use the device as you can see in the video below.

It’s expensive, and would take a lot of effort to make it work, but it would all be worth it, if it means that you can Face-time your fluffy friend.
