PetChatz^® is the award-winning two-way interactive pet camera that allows pet parents to “be there from anywhere” for their beloved pets.

With PetChatz, you can see each other, hear each other, speak to each other, provide a comforting scent and give your pet a treat from anywhere in the world with a smartphone or computer. You now have the ability to connect with your pet in a more meaningful way – even when you are not home!

PawCall is a breakthrough technology that lets pets initiate two-way video chats with the press of a button placed on your household’s floor. PawCall is a durable, pet-safe 3” x 4” “light driven” button that enhances your PetChatz, our newest incarnation of the Greet & Treat^® dog (and cat) video camera.

Call Mode: you set up times when you are available for a “quick chat” with your furry friend. When that preset time arrives, the PawCall button begins to flash. When your pet sees this, they “press the button” and two things happen – a treat dispenses as a reward for their knowing what to do and you will be notified via push notification or email, letting you know your pet is ready and waiting to connect.

Game Mode: want your pet to be engaged during the course of their day? Set up “Game Time” – the PawCall button begins to flash and your pet arrives to see what’s happening. Each time they “Press the Button” while the light is flashing, a treat is delivered. Approximately 20 treats will be dispensed during each 8-minute Game Mode session – you can schedule up to two per day. A good time will be had by all (and you can watch this in Silent Mode).

PetChatz^® seeks to forever change the relationship between pet parents and their pets when apart.

PetChatz is a sleek, safe and simple system that strengthens the pet parent bond letting owners remotely:

1. check-in and greet their pet through a two-way HD low-light color camera
2. dispense a natural treat (PetChatz Treatz^®)
3. dispense a soothing scent (PetChatz Scentz^® products)
4. record and share videos of their pets’ shenanigans
5. receive notifications of sound and motion events near PetChatz

Simply install the PetChatz unit on your wall or on a kennel door, hook up to your wireless network, and interact with your pet from anywhere, anytime.

You can also use the PetChatz unit anywhere you take your pet – daycare, hotels, kennels and more with the convenient PetChatz Stand.

It’s easy, simple and takes four steps: Set-up, connect, fill-up and check-in.

1. To set-up, mount your PetChatz^® pet cam over any electrical outlet in your home. For best results, install the unit where you pet has easy access.
2. Next, connect the unit to your home Wi-Fi network. You can then connect the unit remotely by logging onto PetChatz.com on your computer, and/or downloading the PetChatz app on your smartphone or tablet.
3. You are now ready to fill your PetChatz unit with PetChatz Treatz^® and PetChatz Scentz^®. PetChatz Treatz^® are natural, grain free, low calorie and nutrient dense, and PetChatz Scentz^® is a specially formulated calming essential oil that is infused into the PetChatz Padz and inserted into your PetChatz unit.
4. You are now ready to check in with your best friend from anywhere, anytime. A special ringtone tells them you are calling. The totally immersive experience allows your pet to see you smile and wave, hear you speak to them and receive rewards from their best friend! Our full engagement program will disperse the calming scent with each call and allow you to watch your pet frolic – and even record their antics to share with your friends and family!

Pet safety has been our number one goal during our product design process. The small, sleek, chew-resistant, low-profile unit makes PetChatz ideal for pet safety and durability.

PetChatz is made of durable material. Every angle, surface, material, feature and function is designed with pet safety in mind. There are no corners, edges or electrical cords that can be chewed.

PetChatz mounts directly over an outlet and is screwed securely into a wall stud, leaving little opportunity for a pet to attempt to chew or otherwise damage the unit or your home. When properly installed PetChatz is safe for your pets and cannot be easily damaged.

Let’s face it, you love your pet – and probably often wonder what they do when you are away. PetChatz^® alleviates the human side of separation anxiety, offering peace of mind that your pet is safe, happy and aware you care about them.

While at work at work, on vacation, or just when you feel like checking in, PetChatz^® lets you be with your pets anytime, from anywhere.

Research shows that a majority of dogs and some cats watch TV – especially if there is movement on the screen (and especially HD TV due to the enhanced refresh rate). For best results, we recommend that you wave or use some motion with your hands on the screen to catch their attention during a “chat” and locate yourself in an area where there is contrast between you and your surroundings.

If your pet does not respond to seeing your image on the screen, he will still be compelled by hearing your voice, smelling the aromatherapy scent and getting a treat from you while you’re away. Your pet will quickly learn to associate PetChatz with you and with fun.

You bet! When considering PetChatz for a multiple pet household, it is important to note that PetChatz has the ability to dispense numerous treats in succession. This feature provides ample opportunity for more than one pet to get a treat during a “chat”. If you have any concern about pets fighting over treats, we recommend talking to your area dog trainer for tips.

With PetChatz Treatz^® formulated to be healthy for both dogs and cats, “blended” households can also create great memories together with PetChatz.

Using “classic conditioning” methodology, training your pet to come to PetChatz when you call is a simple process illustrated in the PetChatz training video (available on the PetChatz YouTube channel). With just a few training steps along with some regular repetition, your pet will come running to PetChatz – just like they come running to you at the end of the day.

Check out our how to train your pet video.

Experts agree, the nose knows!

According to Dr. Alexandra Horowitz in her book, “Inside of a Dog”, sniffing is one of the most important senses to our pet and plays an important role in our pet’s social interaction. Have you noticed that the first thing your dog does when you come home is smell you?

Human noses have about six million olfactory sensor receptors. A beagle nose has over three hundred million olfactory sensor receptors! Just think, a dog’s sense of smell is more than 50 times more powerful than ours.

Dr. Horowitz wrote, “The dog nose is the fastest route by which information can get to the brain.” Because of the importance of smell to our pets, we have incorporated scent into the PetChatz^® experience.

Finally, pets become comfortable around “familiar” (does your dog like to sleep on your clothes or shoes???) and by using a single scent specially formulated for them you can create this “comfort zone” around your PetChatz unit.

Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil, Origanum majorana (Marjoram), Citrus sinensis (Orange), Lavandula vera (Lavender), Citrus aurantium (Petitgrain), Vetiveria zizanoides (Vetiver), Anthemis nobilis (Chamomile Roman) essential oils.

PetChatz Scentz^® pads can be reused until they’ve hardened or become discolored.

We recommend changing pads once per month or more often if you are a very heavy user of PetChatz to have fun with your pet!

Each refill pack contains 10 PetChatz Scentz^® pads.

We recommend PetChatz Scentz Essential Oil Drops (Calm). This product is uniquely formulated for PetChatz^® using pure essential oil blend known to be calming for both dogs and cats.

Because pet safety is our number one concern, we hired Michigan State University Diagnostic Center for Population & Animal Health to perform a toxicity study on scent and the PetChatz Scentz Essential Oil Drops. We are pleased to report that the compounds identified within the PetChatz Scentz Essential Oil Drops are not recognized as inhalation hazards to companion animals per the intended use of this product (air diffused via PetChatz).

Our pets relate scents to experiences. We want our pets to smell the PetChatz Scentz and relate the smell to having fun with you and with PetChatz!  If you elect to use other scents, please make sure the ingredients and concentration are safe for your pets. Many human grade essential oils are more concentrated (as our olfactory capabilities are less than that of dogs and cats). This means that human concentration levels may be overwhelming for your furry friends.
