Don't buy the Furbo dog camera this Cyber Monday, these 5 alternatives are just as good

The Furbo dog camera has long been a popular choice amongst pet parents looking for a sophisticated virtual pup sitter to keep an eye on their beloved bundle of fluff when they're out and about.

Considered one of the best pet cameras on the market, the Furbo has all the bells and whistles you'd want in a device of this nature. But it doesn't come cheap, and is it really any better than many of its cheaper rivals?

We don't think so. Yes, it can toss treats, which a lot of budget pet cameras can't, but with the exception of that one feature, we don't see enough in the Furbo dog camera to justify its regular $210 price tag.

Not when you can get a slightly more basic, but no less amazing, pet camera for under $50 - and trust us, they get the job done just as well. To help you find a pet camera that won't break the bank, here's our pick of the best Cyber Monday pet camera deals that will let you converse with your pup when you're away from home...
