The Petcube Bites 2 Lite comes in at half the price of its predecessor, Bites 2 with Amazon's voice-activated assistant. This new and more affordable way for pet owners to dispense treats to pets is packed with features, since it can be used as a smart speaker and it comes with a Petcube-specific Alexa skill for slinging treats at a pet.
With this cost-conscious version of the pet treat dispenser, the brand is scaling back on some features, including a camera with a narrower field of view and no support for 5GHz WiFi connectivity. Boasting an 1080p camera, automatic night vision and eight times digital zoom, the Petcube Bites 2 Lite can be customized with colorful treat containers. There's also the option to enhance the device with a Care subscription and Vet Chat.
