Common questions
Does the Pawbo Life have both treats and a laser?
Yes, it combines a treat dispenser with a built-in laser game, so you can both reward and play with your pet remotely, unusual at its price.
What is the video like?
Average, ranging from 720p to 1080p depending on the model. If video quality is your priority, a Tapo or Eufy is sharper, though those lack the interactive features.
Are there treat jams?
It works with small treats, and occasional jams are reported, as with most budget dispensers. Round, dry treats dispense most reliably.
