using PetChatz HD

As with the significant majority of smart home devices, installing and setting up the PetChatz HD-  is rather straightforward for most people. Ideally, you should install the equipment with the mounting hardware that comes along, plugging it into the wireless router later on. The quick start guide is what you find in the box. It explains how to connect it to the Wi-Fi and the device.

It’s not complicated to install the PetChatz HD-, and you should do it on your own, especially when you don’t want to spend another dollar on the pet camera. Should you encounter any challenges, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the company. You can call, email, or have a chat with them. They’re thrilled to help. Don’t forget to download the app on your Android, iOS, or computer for completing the registration.

Since you’re mounting the device near to the floor, keep in mind that this may be a bit tall for a tiny cat. You’re not going to be able to see much of it (probably only its ears). You can improvise and place a folded blanket to lift it when the pet is around. Since the PetChatz HD-  has a wide-angle lens, you can see the whole cat when it’s a couple of steps away.

When it comes to the functions, many are going to enjoy a variety of options.

The treat is free of corn, grain, or fillers, which means it’s healthy and safe for your pet. You can find salmon or chicken treats to use with PetChatz HD-.

Note to self: not all cats are going to like the PetChatz treats, so you can have your trial and error until you get the right ones. They should be the same size as the treats provided with the device (or even smaller than that).

The treat dispenser function is one of the many tasks that you and your pet are going to love. It’s the same with the scent dispenser, which is going to calm your pet whenever you feel like your pet is a bit anxious. You shouldn’t worry about the scents not being safe for the indoor air quality. The PetChatz HD’s scent doesn’t alter the indoor air quality since it’s made with natural ingredients (lavender oil, jojoba seed oil, oranges, citrus oil, and many more).

On the side note, remember that some pets are sensitive to scented items, which is why you should make sure that it’s safe to use the scent dispenser function around your pet. You don’t want to find out that the scent is terrible for them when you’re not home.
