Coronavirus scams, your money, unemployment— Jeff’s newsletter cuts through the noise.

Your pet is an important member of the family — and they deserve the best. Whether you're going out of town or just want better peace of mind, we're taking the highest-rated products online and putting them to the test.

Watch the video above to see them in action.

Subscription: $6.99/month for Dog Nanny. (You don't need the subscription. That's only if you want extra features.)

This security camera lets you watch your pet while you're away. You can take pictures and videos. You can even toss your dog a treat by tapping on a button on the app. The Furbo will make a sound (you can customize the sound, too) and it will toss the treat out.

If you're interested in taking it up a notch, the Dog Nanny subscription has more features, like keeping a diary of what your pet does all day. It will also send you alerts for various reasons, like if your dog is barking a lot, if your pet is getting into trouble, or even if a person or intruder walks past the camera.

One person wrote a review that said the Furbo alerted her to her dog barking, when she watched the camera, she heard to carbon monoxide detector going off. It saved her dog's life!

Subscription: You can do a monthly plan for $12.99/month, a 1-year plan for $8.25/month, or a 2-year plan for $8/month.

This product is a GPS and health tracker for your dog or cat. It will alert you when your pet steps outside of their safety zone and will track them wherever they go.

The tracker also monitors your pet's health. From monitoring how much they're scratching (sign of fleas or ticks), elevated licking (sign of anxiety or pain), even how much your pet is sleeping, eating and drinking. The app will keep this in a journal so you can show your veterinarian as well.

Cost: Small - $18. Medium - $23. Large - $29.

This product will gently clean your dog's paws in a quick and easy way! Reviews on Amazon say it works well and gets all the dirt off. All you do is fill the plunger with warm water (no soap needed) and stick your pet's paw inside, making a plunging motion. Towel dry their paws and then dump out the brown, dirty water.

If you have an outdoor cat that gets extra dirty while out, you know they need extra cleaning attention. Most cats though hate water and baths. This is a leave-in shampoo that doesn't require rinsing. It will gently clean and moisturize their skin and coat without taking off topical meds like flea control products. All you do is massage it onto your cat from head to paws. Reviews say it helps cat owners keep their cat's fur smelling and feeling clean.

Additional Cost: $10 for the seed kit

This product is beneficial for indoor cats and their health. Since indoor cats spend the majority of their day grooming themselves, they become prone to hairballs. Chewing on cat grass can help with their digestion. It's also a fun toy for cats to play with.

This is an interactive pet camera that also has a laser toy to keep cats and dogs occupied! You can see, talk, and play with your pet while you’re out. It features a 160° full-room view for better coverage, and night-vision, has two-way audio and comes with Alexa built-in.
