The Arf Pets Smart Automated Pet Feeder helps you keep your fur babies fed and happy while you're away. And it even offers a chance to connect with them from afar — all for only $99.99 (reg. $129.99) for a limited time.

If you've ever wished there was a way to call your pet while you're at work or traveling, the Arf Pets Smart Automated Pet Feeder with Video Camera is the next best thing. Not only does it offer an automated pet feeding mechanism that lets you give them breakfast, lunch, or dinner right from the companion app (which is potentially more useful for a cat), but it also includes a live video camera.

The live video gives you the chance to check in on your pet from anywhere. Just open the app, watch live videos, record them when you miss them, and even say hi with the two-way audio. Want to leave a sweet greeting for when they get their food or treat? You can also record a personal voice message.

Its storage container holds 29 cups of food and with a lockable lid it keeps it safe while you're gone, so you don't have to worry about constantly filling it. Worried about a power outage? Don't be — there's a battery backup to keep them fed if the electricity goes out.

Make sure your fur babies know you love them with the Arf Pets smart automated pet feeder and video camera, now just $99.99 (reg. $129.99) for a limited time.
