MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PetChatz^® is now shipping as the first-ever "Greet and Treat^®" videophone for pet parents to have physical interaction with their pets from anywhere, anytime through their smartphones, tablets or computers.

The patented PetChatz unit is a small, sleek and durable system that mounts to any wall or kennel and lets owners and their pets see each other, hear each other and speak to each other. By clicking an icon, parents can also dispense a treat, provide a soothing scent and record and share videos of their pets' shenanigans.

PetChatz pre-orders begin shipping next week, and the next 1,000 orders received at store.petchatz.com by December 1 will ship by Christmas. PetChatz will be available for immediate shipping and at pet retailers in first quarter 2015. MSRP is $349. See the video here.

"We developed PetChatz because as pet parents we know we can't always be there for our dogs and cats," said Lisa Lavin, founder and CEO of PetChatz. "I know I miss my dog when I'm at work or out and about – I feel sad, even guilty when she's left home alone. Most people feel the same way. PetChatz helps relieves the human side of pet separation anxiety. No matter where you go, you can interact with your pet. They see you, hear you and feel your love with the tasty treats and soothing scents you provide with just a few clicks."

PetChatz takes minutes to set-up through four simple steps:

Mount the PetChatz unit over any electrical outlet in the home.
Connect the PetChatz unit to the home WiFi network. Owners can then access their unit's two-way communications by logging onto PetChatz.com and/or downloading the PetChatz app.
Fill the PetChatz unit with PetChatz Treatz^® (chicken, liver or salmon) and PetChatz Scentz^® pads (for applying soothing essential oils).
Owners can then check in with their pet from anywhere, anytime - a special ringtone alerts pets their owners are calling. (Or, sound/motion detectors can alert owners that their pet is nearby.) Owners say hello, share their smile through PetChatz' color screen, dispense snacks and scents, record and share videos.
