Laïka, an interactive companion for pets, aims to help your dog feel less lonely when you’re at work, earning for kibble and treats.

Everything is fully controllable through a smartphone app- you can communicate with your dog, see them or toss them a treat with just a few swipes! As a bonus, Laïka app offers free training advice that can be implemented with their interactive toy, helping you utilize all of the cool features they provide- such as the audio feature for giving out commands and the treat dispenser to reward your pup for doing what you’ve asked them to.
