Costco Added a La-Z-Boy Sofa Just for Dogs
A GPS Dog Collar With a Three-Week Battery
The Fi Series 3+ Smart Dog Collar is one of the more technically sophisticated products in this Costco batch. GPS tracking collars for dogs aren’t new, but battery life has historically been a limiting factor — many require charging every few days. This model runs for three weeks on a single charge, which changes how useful it is in practice. The collar connects to an app that shows the dog’s real-time location and allows owners to set a virtual fence, triggering an alert if the dog exits a defined perimeter. Beyond location tracking, the collar also logs health data: activity levels, rest patterns, eating, drinking, sleeping, barking, and scratching. That combination of GPS and behavioral monitoring gives a more complete picture of a dog’s daily routine than a standard activity tracker. For anyone with a dog that has a history of escaping the yard, or for households where the dog is home with a dog walker during the day, the location feature alone justifies serious consideration.
A Tempur-Pedic Mattress Built for Dogs
Tempur-Pedic is known for one thing: pressure-relieving foam that conforms to body weight and distributes it evenly. The Tempur-Pedic Combination Pet Mattress, priced at $65, applies that same core technology to a dog bed. The base uses orthopedic foam, and the sleep surface is covered in faux fur. For older dogs with joint pain, hip dysplasia, or arthritis, the difference between sleeping on a dense foam surface and sleeping on a thin polyester-fill bed is meaningful. One reviewer noted that their 13-year-old Labrador Retriever seemed more rested and energetic after switching to this mattress compared to cheaper alternatives. The $65 price point is accessible given the brand name, and significantly less than comparable orthopedic pet beds from specialty retailers. For large breeds, which are disproportionately prone to joint problems as they age, investing in a proper sleep surface earlier rather than waiting until problems appear is generally considered good preventive care.
An Automatic Feeder With a Built-In Camera
The Petlibro Granary Smart Camera Automatic Pet Feeder combines two functions that are useful on their own and more powerful together: scheduled automatic feeding and live camera monitoring. The app allows owners to set up to 10 measured meals per day with precise portion control, manage everything remotely, and receive alerts when food levels run low. The integrated camera lets owners check in on their pets during the day or night, with motion detection that flags activity. One reviewer described the experience of watching their pet eat through the app while away from home as genuinely reassuring — not just a novelty. The app is described as simple to use, the dispenser is noted for accuracy, and buyers say food stays fresh inside the unit. For pet owners who work long hours or travel occasionally, this kind of remote management removes the anxiety of wondering whether a pet has been fed or is behaving normally.
A Chew Gift Box That Also Supports Dental Health
The Nylabone Chew Toys and NUBZ Chew Treats Gift Box costs $30 and includes both edible chews and three dental-health-promoting toys. Nylabone is one of the most established names in dog chews, with a long track record of producing products that keep dogs occupied without the safety concerns associated with some natural chews. The NUBZ Edible Dog Chews in this bundle are designed to be digestible, which matters for owners who’ve had dogs gulp down chew pieces whole. The dental toys work through abrasive texture that scrapes plaque from teeth during chewing. At $30 for a bundled set, this is a reasonable value for a gift or for stocking up. It works equally well as a standalone purchase for regular use or as a holiday or birthday gift for a dog — the gift-box format makes presentation easy without any additional wrapping required.
