ZenCrate

You’ve outfitted your home with the latest and greatest in modern tech amenities—now isn’t it time to extend the same futuristic lifestyle to your furry, four-legged friend?

Below we’ve identified some products that will give your pup his or her very own high-tech dog house.

ZenCrate

Looking for a dog home that will also help your animal deal with anxiety? ZenCrate is here to help. The abode comes equipped with proximity sensors that activate a fan and calming music whenever your dog enters, offering a temperate, tune-filled and generally tension-relieving environment for a stressed or lonely animal. ZenCrate also comes with a back-up battery, so if your pup is scared of thunder and lightning he or she will still be able to enjoy a safe space during a storm even if the rest of the house loses power.

The ZenCrate is available for $549 to $836, depending on additional features.

Bright Canine

Bright Canine offers your pooch a home that is both high-tech and highly customizable. Although they ape the appearance of a classic cottage, Bright Canine homes feature some modern—and optional—amenities to improve the lives of both dog and owner, including a programmable feeder that holds a week’s worth of food, an automated waterer, a HD camera and microphone (for remote viewing/communication on a smart device or computer), a heater/breezer, and insulation. The porch light and custom name tag, however, are standard on every model.

The Bright Canine smart dog house is available for $1,480 to $2,386, depending on added features.

Furbo

If your apartment or estate is enough of a home for your dog, but you’d still like them to have the amenities of the most modern doggie mansions, take a look at the Furbo. The mini-tower monitor will let you see and interact with your pup from anywhere in the world. Equipped with an HD camera and two-way audio, Furbo owners will be able to keep an eye on Fido throughout the work day and even "chat" with their best friend from across town. Furbo’s two-way audio also keeps tabs on your dog’s communications and can send you smartphone-based alerts whenever it hears your dog barking. Furbo also includes an app-based feature that allows users to toss treats to their dog via the device’s built-in dispenser simply by swiping up on their smart device of choice.

The Furbo is available for $199.
