The Petcube Bites 2 is a cool gadget for pet owners who want to keep tabs on their pets and even give them treats while they're away. Best part? You don't need a subscription to use the primary features.

With just the app, you can watch live video and hear audio, plus toss treats to your pet without paying extra. That’s pretty great if you want to buy the device without worrying about additional costs.

For treat tossing, you can control the distance by swiping on your phone, which is loads of fun for you and your pet! From what we've gathered, using small, uniform treats keeps the system from jamming. Bigger treats can sometimes get stuck, so sticking to small ones is a safer bet.

As for extra bells and whistles, the Petcube Bites 2 has a lot to offer, like a 1080p HD camera with night vision and two-way audio so you can chat with your pet. It even works with Alexa if you want to use voice commands.

Though a subscription isn’t needed for the basic stuff, Petcube offers extras through their Petcube Care service. This gives you cloud storage for video clips and smart alerts for sound and motion, which might be helpful if you're keen on saving memorable moments or keeping an eye on your pet's activities.

So, you can definitely use the Petcube Bites 2 just fine without a subscription. But if you ever want those added features, the choice is there.

The Petcube Bites 2 isn't just about tossing treats—it's got some neat features for keeping an eye on your pets too. The camera offers 1080p HD quality, which means you can see crisp video, making it easier to watch what your pets are up to when you're out. Plus, with a 160-degree wide-angle lens, you'll get to view a good chunk of the room, capturing lots of pet antics.

One great feature is the night vision. According to our research, it lets you check in on your pets even when it's dark, though some folks have noticed that the clarity might dip in low light.

Most people find the daytime video pretty reliable, but we did see some comments about occasional drops in image quality. It seems like a stable internet connection is important here, as any hiccups with Wi-Fi can mess with the streaming quality.

All in all, the Petcube Bites 2 mostly holds up when it comes to video quality, making it a solid pick for folks wanting both a treat dispenser and pet monitor.

Just make sure your Wi-Fi is up to snuff to get the best out of it!

The Petcube Bites 2 has this neat treat dispensing feature that you can control through an app. You can toss treats to your furry friends even when you're not home. The manufacturer says it can handle a variety of dry, crunchy treats for both dogs and cats, and the container holds up to 1.5 pounds. Plus, you can set how far you want the treats to fly out—short, medium, or long distances—which is kind of fun for keeping your pet entertained.

From what we've found, the dispenser works pretty well with different treat sizes, but it's important to pick the right size to avoid jamming. The manufacturer suggests going for treats between 0.3 to 1 inch in size. Some folks have run into issues using bigger treats—they sometimes get stuck.

Most people are pretty happy with how this feature works and say that it's easy to use and effective. It's highlighted as one of the best parts of the product by pet owners. It also seems to work with most common treat brands, so you have some flexibility there.

Still, a few have mentioned that if the treats aren't compatible size-wise, it can mess with the dispensing accuracy. So it's a good idea to check out Petcube's list of recommended treat sizes for the best experience.

If the treat dispenser is a big deal for you, it seems like a solid and fun feature for both you and your pets, according to our data.
