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.

House fires are one of the most fatal accidents that can befall our beloved pups, since many fires are not caught in time.

Thankfully, Shayna had Furbo Dog Nanny watching over her pups. About 15 minutes after leaving home, she received an urgent Emergency Alert from her Furbo app. Opening the notification, Shayna saw her kitchen was on fire, with Ruby and Bridge barking and running back and forth.

Shayna drove home honking all the way. With the fire department en route, she opened her front door to a cloud of smoke and yelled for Ruby and Bridge to escape the smoke.

2 lucky dogs: Ruby & Bridge

“Luckily I got my dogs out just in time and they weren’t sick from the smoke.” - Shayna

The firefighters put the fire out and cleared the smoke while Shayna and her dogs sat safely in her car. Any longer, and the whole kitchen would have gone 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.” - Shayna

Furbo Dog Nanny 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
