Logitech Teams Up with San Francisco SPCA and MSPCA-Angell to Help New Pet Parents Be #PetProud

More than 1 in 4 U.S. pet parents admit they would rather video chat with their pet than their significant other, according to a new Logitech (News - Alert) survey. In celebration of this type of pet connection and National Pet Month, today, Logitech announced a sponsorship with the San Francisco SPCA and Massachusetts' MSPCA-Angell to help pet parents be #PetProud. In May, Logitech is providing on-site cat or dog adopters with a free Logi Circle Home Security Camera, a wireless camera that keeps you closer to your pets, when you're away from home.

"Here at Logitech, we love our pets, and we're thrilled to work with San Francisco SPCA and the MSPCA-Angell to give new pet parents the Logi Circle, so they can stay connected to their furry friend even when they're away from home," said Vincent Borel, director of new ventures at Logitech.

The Sponsorship: Logitech x SPCA

In addition to providing adopters with a free Logi Circle in May, between June and October, Logitech is offering every on-site cat or dog adopters with a $50 discount coupon toward the Logi Circle. Both the San Francisco SPCA and Boston's MSPCA-Angell have set up live streams powered by the Logi Circle. You can tune into live video of adoptable animals by visiting: https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/adoption-center-live-stream/ and https://www.sfspca.org/adoptions/videostreams.




"Our partnership with Logitech makes it even easier to bring a new pet into your life," said Cynthia Kopec, the chief operating officer of San Francisco SPCA. "We want to help adopters find their perfect match - our goal is a loving home and lasting bond. We find homes for approximately 5,000 animals every year, and we're excited that the Logi Circle will help our adopters stay connected with their pets throughout the day."

"We do our best to prep adopters so that the transition to a new home goes smoothly for both the pet and parent," said Jean Weber, director of animal protection at MSPCA-Angell. "When Logitech introduced us to the Logi Circle, we knew the camera could help the relationship between the parent and pet thrive."

The Facts: Connecting With Your Pet

The Logitech survey also found that 86 percent of pet parents agree that their pet would be happier if they could interact with them when they're away from home. Plus, the survey results show that 56 percent of pet parents want to watch their pet while they're away, and 46 percent of pet parents want to talk to their pet when they are away.

The Logi Circle features a built-in mic and speaker that let you talk to your pet at home, so you can say "hello" to the new puppy or hear if he is barking. Through the free iOS® or Android (News - Alert)™ app, the camera features unlimited HD video streaming with night vision and personal, daily summaries called Day Briefs™. With Day Briefs, pet parents can now know what their pet does all day, in just 30 seconds. Created on-demand, Day Briefs can be downloaded, and then shared with family or friends anytime. The Logi Circle is designed to let you watch over your pets and home, so you'll always have paws in your hands.
