How Your Smart Home Sensors Are Watching Your Pets

Episode 14 of Smart Home with Fexingo explores how pet parents are using motion sensors, cameras, and smart feeders to monitor their dogs and cats—and what that means for privacy and behavior. Lucas and Luna discuss a 2025 survey from the American Pet Products Association showing 38% of U.S. pet owners now use at least one connected device for their pet, from GPS collars to automated litter boxes. They unpack a specific case: a Whistle GPS tracker lawsuit over location data sharing, and the broader question of whether constant surveillance changes how pets behave. The hosts also touch on the rise of 'pet tech' startups and the ethical line between care and over-monitoring.
