All the pet tech featured at CES 2026

Satellai received CNET’s Best of CES award for pet technology with a wearable AI device designed specifically for dogs. Rather than positioning itself as a fitness tracker for its owners, the device focuses on building a detailed health profile of the pet. It uses artificial intelligence to analyze movement, sleep patterns and behavior over time, with the aim of identifying potential health concerns earlier than traditional monitoring allows.

The wearable is designed to be lightweight and durable, with a battery life long enough to make it practical for everyday use. What stood out most at CES was how clearly Satellai framed the product as a health tool rather than a novelty, reflecting a growing interest in preventative care and data-driven insights for pets.

Petkit returned to CES with three new AI-infused pet care products focused on nutrition, hydration and monitoring. The lineup included smart feeders and water fountains equipped with cameras and sensors that track eating and drinking habits, helping owners detect changes that may indicate health problems.

Petkit’s strength lies in how its ecosystem works. The devices are designed to share data through a single app, giving pet owners a clearer picture of daily routines even when they are away from home. The focus on AI seemed practical rather than experimental, which helped earn Petkit a final spot in our best of CES.

The Pawport smart pet door has been on the market for a few years, but its CES 2026 update addressed one of the biggest barriers to adoption: installation. The new version is designed to work more easily with existing pet doors, eliminating the need for major home modifications.

The system uses a smart tag attached to the pet’s collar to control access, ensuring that only authorized animals can enter or exit. Owners can manage settings through the app, including curfew and remote locking. Pawport’s approach blends comfort with safety, and its focus on improvement rather than reinvention has helped it emerge as a Best of CES finalist.

This smart pet door takes a straightforward approach to solving a common problem: keeping unwanted animals out while allowing your pets to move freely. Using collar-based identification, the door opens only to registered dogs or cats, which helps maintain the interior temperature and security of the home.

At CES, products like these highlighted how smart home technology is increasingly being adapted to suit pets, not just humans. Although the concept isn’t entirely new, the execution seemed more polished and reliable than previous generations of smart pet doors.

The FireTag dog collar brings pet technology and home security closer together. The collar integrates tracking and alerting features that tie into a broader home security setup, making your dog an active part of the smart home ecosystem.

Instead of focusing solely on location tracking, FireTag emphasizes awareness and monitoring, especially for households that have already invested in connected security devices. It’s an example of how pet technology is starting to overlap with categories like home safety, rather than sitting on the side as a standalone niche.

AI-Tails showcased a smart feeding and drinking station designed to adapt to a pet’s habits over time. The system uses artificial intelligence to track consumption patterns and adjust portions, with the aim of supporting pets that may have health concerns or special nutritional needs.

What made AI-Tails stand out at CES was its focus on responsiveness. Rather than simply dispensing food or water according to a schedule, the system is designed to learn and adapt, reflecting a broader trend toward more personalized, data-driven pet care solutions.
