Furbo Dog Camera Brand Story | Learn About Furbo

Our Story

Every morning when we leave home for work, our dog would give us those sad puppy eyes that break our heart as we shut the door behind us. It feels awful, but we simply don’t have any other choice.

We started talking to more dog parents and discovered that they had this same pain of leaving their dogs at home alone. They shared their stories with us about how they couldn’t bear to be apart from their dogs for too long, and they even skipped vacations because they couldn’t bring their dogs along.

One dog parent’s comment really struck us:

“Dogs spend most of their lives waiting for us at home.”

We’re always apart from our furbabies, but all we ever wanted is to always be together. That’s why we set out on a mission to create a simple way for us to always be together with our dogs.
