I have been a fan of Petcube tech in the past, including an integrated pet camera again their very well designed smart sourcebut now the company is shifting to focus on complete application knowledge. The Petcube app will keep its name but, starting this March, it will get a bunch of new features that will serve as a hub for pets’ health and activity, complete with an AI assistant.
I have seen both AI and health tracking in new pet systems this year, but this Petcube hub is one of the easiest to get started without needing to collar, food center or other services. It allows pet owners to create a profile and input information on travel, food, medical records, treatment and any other important times. That is the beginning.
Once you’ve created a profile, you can start logging in and start testing. The test options are very comprehensive, including food, activity, dental health, urination, coat health and more. So far, all of these features are free, making this a useful option if you want to start tracking animal health without paying anything.
The Petcube app is free to keep you updated on your pet’s health but the AI ​​chats with the animals will cost you $100 a year.
Check-in options are basic and often limited — there’s an option for your pet to eat twice a day or free feeding, but no three-a-day option, for example — but it can help you throw up any big red flags. The feature where you upload a profile picture of your pet for automatic weight gain analysis is great.
If you have an existing device such as a Petcube camera, the app will still work with the camera and provide the same alerts, live views and information. Those smart alerts, by the way, are fun if you want to get random updates on your pets’ behavior while you’re at work (even if they’re not always accurate).
The Petcube app login is a great place to start to get a baseline of your pet’s health, especially if you’re doing it every few months.
That’s what you get for free. Add a $100 annual subscription, and your pet care options multiply. You can get smart alerts from Petcube cameras that try to explain what your pet is doing, as well as access to that AI assistant or chat with a real person.
I tried a few basic AI scenarios and found it useful to get quick hints. I’m not sure which chatbot it enables a behind-the-scenes assistant, but almost the same summaries you would find in writing problems or symptoms in ChatGPT, albeit with specific information about your pet in the application. This saves time, but contacting a veterinary chat is probably more helpful if you have specific concerns.
I asked the AI ​​some probing questions about pet health, and the answers are very similar to other chatbot snapshots.
Health profiles and AI analysis are coming to animal technology everywhere this year. By far, Petcube’s comprehensive app is one of the easiest ways to get started if you’re a pet owner who wants to take your pet’s health seriously — especially if you’re willing and able to pay a subscription for on-demand advice. I expect this to be an even more competitive field in the future, but if you’re new to digital pet care, this app is a great way to explore and establish healthy check-in habits.
