MetaDog robotic dog
A summary of the MetaDog robotic dog as listed by an Australian dementia retailer: what is published, what to confirm, and how to get a price on request.
MetaDog is a robotic dog sold under the “Meta” smart pet name. It is the dog in the same range as MetaCat, the rechargeable robotic cat that Australian dementia retailers already stock. At September 2026 one Australian dementia specialist lists MetaDog. We did not capture a published price, so MetaDog is price on request on this site.

How it differs from the companion pup
The companion pup runs on batteries and is stocked by more Australian retailers, so it is easier to compare prices and replace. A rechargeable dog avoids buying batteries, although someone has to remember to charge it. For a person living alone that may be a family job. In an aged care home it can become part of the evening routine at the nurses’ station.
Questions to ask the supplier
- What does the dog do when stroked, spoken to or picked up.
- How long it runs on one charge and how long a charge takes.
- Whether it has a mute or quiet setting for night time.
- How the coat is cleaned and whether any parts can come loose.
- What the warranty covers and who handles a fault.
Should you wait for more information
If you are buying for someone who already responds well to dogs and you want a rechargeable option, MetaDog is worth a quote. If you want the dog most widely stocked in Australia, the companion pup is the safer first buy. Our comparison of robotic dogs sets the options side by side.
Send an enquiry and choose the MetaDog option. The supplier will confirm the price and the specifications in writing before you commit.
