Recently, connected pet technology startup Petcube ran a charity sale supporting Ukraine. The company teamed up with President Zelenskyy’s United24. The partnership saw the brand donate all of its charity sale proceeds directly to the country in an effort to support the "rebuilding of Ukraine."
For those unfamiliar, PetCube offers a range of smart pet cams and monitors, as well as data-capturing technologies. However, the majority of the brand's products aim to provide pet owners an all-in-one monitoring solution so they can remotely keep an eye on their pets using a smartphone.
However, more than just a camera, PetCube systems even allow users to remotely feed and communicate with their pets at the click of a button. The company offers a range of monitoring systems, some of which arrive in the form of basic camera setups while others come with valuable add-ons such as built-in food dispensers and laser pointers.
