Like the 30% of Americans who adopted a pet during the pandemic, dog mom Brittany and her husband got their first puppy, a French Bulldog named Frank, during lockdown.While Brittany was working from home, Frank was always by her side. She says that Frank has always been “...quite the handful, pushing us to our limits with his insane antics and adorableness.” Once Brittany went back to the office, Frank developed some separation anxiety.

Over 70% of pet owners report their dogs reporting symptoms of separation anxiety.<a href="https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/dog-care/common-dog-behavior-issues/separation-anxiety" target="_blank"> Separation anxiety symptoms </a>include barking or howling, chewing, having accidents, or escaping. One day when Brittany and her husband were out, Frank was lounging upstairs, and began to start exploring. He started climbing up the couch and eventually up the pony wall and onto the wood divider. Frank got stuck on the divider and began to panic, and started to cry and howl.Suddenly, Brittany received a Dog Activity Alert from her Furbo at home. Opening the notification, she saw that Frank was stuck and in clear distress. Using Furbo's two-way audio, she was able to calm Frank with her voice and guide him down from his stuck position. Thanks to her guidance, Frank landed on the couch unharmed."

“We have now dealt with his anxiety so he quietly sleeps on the couch now. Thanks Furbo!”The <a href="https://furbo.com/us/products/furbo-360-dog-camera" target="_blank">Furbo 360°Dog Camera</a> with Furbo Dog Nanny Service provides real-time alerts for activity, barking, howling, and crying.

Dog seizures are more common than we might think - about 1 in 20 dogs will have a seizure in their lifetime. Although a seizure doesn’t necessarily indicate epilepsy, it is still dangerous, scary for the pup, and something that the vet needs to investigate.Recently, dog mom Vicki Jo walked into her house to find her poodle in the middle of a seizure. “I walked in the front door today to find my poodle having a seizure. Thanks to <a href="http://furbo.com/furbodogcamera" target="_self">Furbo</a>,  I was able to see when it happened.  Looks like as soon as I walked in the door. Prayers this was a one-time event but so glad I had the video to show my vet and see what happened and when...he's sitting to the right of the couch.”

She rushed him to the vet and, thanks to <a href="http://furbo.com/furbodogcamera" target="_self">Furbo</a>, was able to show the vet a video of what happened and how long it lasted. Happily, her boy is fine now and back to playing with his furry friends. So, what symptoms should we watch out for in our pups?A seizure may contain these symptoms, among others:<ul><li>Foaming at the mouth</li></ul><ul><li>Falling down and thrashing</li></ul><ul><li>Passing out</li></ul><ul><li>Drooling</li></ul>

What should we do?Remain calm for your dog. Then:<ul><li>Time the seizure</li></ul><ul><li>Cushion your pup’s head and very gently hold him</li></ul><ul><li>If the seizure lasts more than 2 minutes, your pup may be at risk of overheating. Cool him with wet clothes around his paws and head</li></ul><ul><li>And, of course...take him to his doggie doctor!</li></ul>

If your dog is epileptic, <a href="http://furbo.com/furbodogcamera" target="_self">Furbo</a> can help you catch and track his seizures through the Activity Alerts, part of the Furbo Dog Nanny service.

Thankfully, Shannon beat the firefighters to her home and was able to save her precious pup, scooping him out before the apartment filled with smoke.“Your product saved our dog’s life and we are forever thankful for that.”We are too.

Many pawrents put their pups in crates when they’re away to prevent accidents and mischief, but crates can actually be dangerous for dogs alone. Particularly when they’re wearing collars, dogs can get caught and choke - and in some rare instances, items pulled into the crate can be near-deadly to furbabies too, like with <a href="http://furbo.com/furbodogcamera" target="_self">Furbo</a> pup Romeo. (Check out our earlier post on <a href="https://shopus.furbo.com/blogs/knowledge/vet-the-most-common-home-alone-accidents-for-younger-dogs" target="_blank">home safety</a> for dogs.)

Madeline, the mama of Romeo, a 1-year-old Chiweenie, was out of the country and left Romeo under the care of her roommate. She was at the airport in London when she got a bark notification.

 “I couldn't imagine life without Furbo” - Madeline, Romeo’s owner 

“My adrenaline went through the roof.”

Romeo had pulled the handles of a bag all the way through his crate. The handles were wrapped around his neck, and the bag was still sitting on top of the crate. He was making noises and trying helplessly to untangle himself.“I watched completely helplessly and panicked.”Madeline made nonstop calls to her roommate’s cell, to no avail; she finally got through by calling his Amazon Echo. He jumped up and went to Romeo’s aid. All from 4,400 miles away, Madeline saved her dog.We couldn’t be more grateful that Furbo helped save Romeo. He loves cuddling, laying in his bed and looking out the window, going for walks, and coming to work with Madeline every day. The two are inseparable and will stay that way.

If your dog suffers from epilepsy, it can be nerve-racking to leave them home alone. Fortunately, <a href="http://furbo.com/furbodogcamera" target="_self">Furbo Dog Camera</a> means they’ll never be alone again.Nicole, pawrent of Laker, purchased a Furbo to keep an eye on Laker while she was at work. While his seizures are mostly controlled with meds, he still has psychomotor seizures: “episodes of running and crying with extreme confusion.”

“Recently, I purchased a <a href="http://furbo.com/furbodogcamera" target="_self">Furbo Dog Camera</a> and it picked up my dog Roxy stopping Laker from an episode. She is not trained to do this but these two have a bond that I have never seen.“Roxy interrupted Laker before he could have a full-fledged seizure, and the whole thing was captured by Furbo Dog Nanny's Cloud Recording, allowing Nicole to see how the dogs help one another.“If it weren’t for the Furbo, I wouldn’t know Roxy was helping Laker every day.

This holiday season, will you know if your pup has been naughty or nice? One Christmas, the owners of Knox, their handsome Australian shepherd, was astonished by what they saw on their <a href="https://furbo.com/furbodogcamera" target="_self">Furbo</a>.“We got a Dog Activity Alert on the Furbo. When I checked the camera I saw our Christmas tree was on the ground and Knox had his head in it digging for a candy cane!”

Broken ornaments were scattered over the floor, leaving glass shards all around Knox. The tree water had spilled, making the floor even more hazardous.“I was able to use Furbo to tell Knox to get away from the tree. Then I called my dad to come over and clean up the mess.”They discovered later that there were candy canes lined up, ready for Knox to eat - a real danger for his stomach! Knox’s pawrents believe that “<a href="https://furbo.com/furbodogcamera" target="_self">Furbo</a> prevented Knox from getting hurt. So many things could’ve happened if we hadn’t gotten the activity alert.”

Make sure your dog is safe with Dog Activity Alerts, alerts specifically calibrated to detect when your dog is in motion and send you real-time alerts on your phone.

This spring, Furbo owner Shayna encountered every dog mom’s nightmare: her house caught on fire with her two dogs, Ruby and Bridge, caught inside.

Shayna drove home honking as her home filled with smoke and her pups panicking, ran upstairs to escape it. With the fire department on their way, she opened her front door to a cloud of smoke and yelled for her 4 year old rescue, Ruby, and Chocolate Lab puppy, Bridge.

“Luckily I got my dogs out just in time and they weren’t sick from the smoke.”The firefighters put the fire out and cleared the smoke while Shayna and her dogs sat safely in her car. Any longer and the cabinets would have caught fire sending the whole kitchen up in flames.

“I am so so thankful that I had the Furbo because I wasn’t planning on coming home right away from the store and I would have had no idea that this was happening without it.”<a href="https://furbo.com/us/products/furbo-dog-nanny" target="_self">Furbo Dog Nanny</a> was designed to keep your dogs safe when you’re not home. The alerts become smarter the more you respond to them, and alert specific behaviors such as barking, running, accidents, eating, fire/CO₂ alarms, and more. These Home Emergency Alerts save lives and we are so grateful we were there for Ruby and Bridge.“Furbo 100% saved my dogs’ lives.” Shayna's dogs: Ruby & Bridge

As dog lovers, we know the lengths pawrents go to give their pups a safe and loving home. Even with all the planning and training, there are unpredictable events, even coincidences that can cause a dangerous situation such as this one. This fire started when Bridge jumped up on the counter to get an oven mit, simultaneously hitting the knob that turned on the stove and knocking a measuring cup to the stove top. What are the chances?! Luckily Furbo was there and we hope we can be there for your dogs when they need help too.

This spring, Furbo owner Shayna encountered every dog mom’s nightmare: her house caught on fire with her two dogs, Ruby and Bridge, caught inside.

“Receiving alerts on time is crucial.” - Abel, Hera’s loving pawrent

Abel, a member of the close-knit <a href="https://furbo.com" target="_self">Furbo</a> community, checked his Dog Activity Alerts as usual during his workday. But this time, what he saw made him gasp: his Dogo Argentino, Hera, was standing on a glass table one minute and falling through it the next. The table collapsed beneath her body weight, and Hera took off running. Abel raced home to his girl, who had cut her feet open, and took her to the emergency vet.

He later wrote, “We were really lucky. Hera is going to be okay. Young puppies are always pushing boundaries, creating potentially dangerous situations. Being there on time can save lives.”That’s exactly what we think. And since we’re always finding ways to keep your furbabies as safe as possible, we began the development of a brand-new feature: the Glass-Breaking Alert. It’s an alert that we created to specifically notify you when the sound of broken glass is detected, so if glass breaks around your dog, you’ll be able to rush home as quickly as Hera’s father did.

The Glass-Breaking Alert is a companion to the suite of Emergency Alerts available in <a href="https://furbo.com/furbodognanny" target="_self">Furbo Dog Nanny</a>, all designed to help you keep your dog safe and sound even when you’re away. Don’t leave your dog home alone without <a href="https://furbo.com/furbodognanny" target="_self">Furbo Dog Nanny</a>.

When loving pawrent Nicole got a Dog Activity Alert on her phone, she was horrified by what she saw: her Old English Sheepdog Arya was in a terrible predicament!Arya had been lying by the air conditioning vent, enjoying the cool breeze…but the tags on her collar had slipped through the grate and gotten stuck. When she stood up, she had taken the entire vent cover with her! As Nicole watched, the good girl clanked sadly around the house, with the huge piece of metal swinging menacingly from her collar.

Nicole rushed home right away to rescue the precious pup from her accidental new accessory and give her a big, reassuring hug. “Arya was so scared and confused when I got there!” Nicole shared. “If not for the Furbo, she would have been stuck like that for hours.”We’re so relieved that <a href="https://furbo.com/us/products/furbo-dog-nanny" target="_self">Furbo Dog Nanny</a> was there to save this sweet sheepdog by sending her pawrent a timely alert! Without the immediate intervention, Arya could have hit herself with the heavy metal vent cover, cut herself on a sharp edge, or even gotten a serious neck injury. <h2>3 Tips for Avoiding Vent Accidents</h2>As loving hoomans, we hate the thought of our furbabies getting hurt…but, sadly, vent accidents are all too common. Many dogs, like Arya, seek cool or warm air coming out of vents, and get a little too close. Arya was lucky that the vent cover came off when she got up, but dogs often find themselves trapped, with tragic results. Here are some ways to protect your own pup:<ol><li>Buy a break-away collar, which buckles with a safety clip designed to automatically pop open under pressure.</li></ol><ol><li>Consider alternatives to tags, such as a stylish collar embroidered with your dog’s ID information. Or skip the collar altogether when you’re not home; just make sure your dog is <a href="https://furbo.com/blog/en/article/new-puppy-checklist-10-must-haves-for-your-new-puppy" target="_self">microchipped</a>, in case they decide to channel their inner Houdini while you’re gone! </li></ol><ol><li>Help your dog with temperature regulation, so that they’re less motivated to snuggle up to vents: keep grooming seasonally appropriate, and maintain your home at a comfortable, uniform temperature. Be aware that different dog breeds have very different temperature needs. Fluffier furbabies, for example, can be <a href="https://furbo.com/blog/en/article/cool-down-a-fluffy-dog" target="_self">extremely sensitive to heat</a>. </li></ol>If your dog still encounters an unexpected mishap — vent-related or otherwise! — Furbo is here to help. <a href="https://furbo.com/us/pages/saving-lives" target="_self">Furbo saves lives</a> around the world by sending pawrents Smart Alerts as soon as danger strikes. <a href="https://furbo.com/us/products/furbo-360-dog-camera" target="_self">Grab your Furbo</a> right now, and start enjoying all-day peace of mind! 🐾

Throughout their lifetime, as many as 1 in 20 dogs will experience a seizure, whether or not they have an epilepsy diagnosis. This means it can be especially frightening when your pup has one seemingly out of the blue. Vicki J., Furbo pawrent of Ted E, came home one day to find her poodle in the middle of a seizure.
