How to cancel furbo in the philippines and avoid hidden charges

What furbo is and why people cancel

Furbo is a smart pet camera that lets you monitor your pets remotely, talk to them through two-way audio, and even toss treats from your phone. But the part that catches most Filipino users off guard is not the camera device itself - it's the subscription layer called Furbo Nanny. Many people decide to cancel because they find the recurring billing confusing, or they simply no longer need the premium video storage and alert features.

Furbo's subscription plans and what you're actually paying for

When you subscribe to Furbo, you are paying for cloud video storage, pet monitoring alerts, and special features like health checking and emergency notifications. The hardware (the camera) is separate from the subscription, which is where the confusion starts for most users in the Philippines.

Furbo offers two main paid tiers. The Standard plan gives you 3-day video history, pet emergency alerts, home security alerts, and health monitoring tools. The Premium plan extends that to 7-day video history and priority access to new features. If you own multiple cameras, each additional device adds ₱113 per month to your bill - a detail many users forget about when they later wonder why their charge seems higher than expected.

Why furbo cancellations are more complex than they should be

The reason canceling Furbo feels tricky is that the subscription experience is tightly woven into the app and device setup. You cannot simply unsubscribe the way you would with a traditional streaming service. If you signed up through the Furbo website, the App Store, or Google Play, each path has a different cancellation method. Additionally, Furbo's auto-renewal system means your subscription rolls over every billing cycle at the current rate unless you actively stop it - even after a free trial ends.

Most importantly, Furbo charges Philippines users in US dollars, so conversion rates affect what you see on your bank statement. At the time of writing, the Standard plan costs approximately ₱564 per month and Premium costs around ₱706 per month, though these amounts shift with exchange rates.

Your consumer rights when canceling furbo in the philippines

What the consumer act of the philippines says about subscriptions

The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) protects you by requiring that businesses clearly disclose all subscription terms, billing cycles, and cancellation procedures before you pay. If Furbo's cancellation process is hidden, unclear, or deliberately made hard to access, that violates your consumer rights.

You have the right to cancel any subscription service without penalty, provided you follow the stated cancellation method. If Furbo charges you after you have canceled, or if they make cancellation unreasonably difficult, you can file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) or the Philippine Consumer Commission (if one exists in your jurisdiction).

Your right to a refund and how to claim it

Under Philippine consumer law, if you cancel before your renewal date, you should not be charged again. If Furbo has already charged you for a period you did not use, you may be entitled to a refund. The key is timing: you must cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to prevent the next charge.

If you request a refund and Furbo refuses without valid reason, escalate your complaint to the DTI with proof of the unauthorized charge. Keep all screenshots, emails, and transaction records. Stopee recommends documenting every step of your cancellation attempt so you have evidence if a dispute arises.

How to cancel furbo based on where you subscribed

Canceling furbo through the official website

If you created your Furbo account directly on the Furbo website and paid with a credit card or debit card, follow these steps to cancel your subscription.

1. Log in to your Furbo account at the official Furbo website using your email and password.
2. Navigate to your account settings or subscription management page.
   • Look for a menu option labeled "Subscription," "Billing," or "Account Settings."
   • If you cannot find it, contact Furbo support at support@furbo.com and ask for the direct link to your subscription page.
3. On your subscription page, locate your active plan and select the option to "Cancel Subscription" or "End Plan."
4. Furbo will ask you to confirm the cancellation. Warning: Do not ignore this confirmation step. Some users cancel without confirming and think they have succeeded, only to be charged again.
5. After you confirm, Furbo should show you a cancellation confirmation page. Take a screenshot of this page immediately.
6. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message from Furbo. Pro tip: Save this email in a dedicated folder or forward it to yourself so you can find it easily if you need to dispute a future charge.

Canceling furbo if you subscribed through apple app store

If you downloaded the Furbo app on your iPhone or iPad and purchased the subscription through the App Store, you must cancel through Apple, not through Furbo directly. Stopping the app or deleting it from your device does not cancel your subscription.

1. Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen.
3. Select "Subscriptions."
4. Find "Furbo" in your active subscriptions list and tap on it.
5. Tap "Cancel Subscription" and follow Apple's confirmation prompts.
6. You should see a status change to "Expires on [date]." This means your subscription will end on that date, and Apple will not charge you again.
7. Take a screenshot of the expiration date to confirm.

Pro tip: Apple processes App Store cancellations instantly, but the change may take a few minutes to sync with Furbo's servers. If the Furbo app still shows your paid features after a few hours, that is normal and will resolve shortly.

Canceling furbo if you subscribed through google play

If you use an Android device and purchased your Furbo subscription through Google Play, you must cancel through Google Play, not through Furbo's website or app.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2. Tap the profile icon in the top right corner and select "Manage your Google Account."
3. Swipe to the "Payments and subscriptions" tab.
4. Tap "Manage subscriptions."
5. Select "Furbo" from the list.
6. Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm when prompted.
7. Google will show you an expiration date. This is when your access ends and charges stop.

Warning: If you cancel through the Furbo app but not through Google Play, you will continue to be charged. Always cancel through the platform where you originally paid.

What happens after you cancel furbo

Understanding your access after cancellation

After you cancel your Furbo subscription, you lose access to cloud video storage, emergency alerts, and health monitoring features. Your Furbo camera hardware remains functional for basic live view if you keep it powered on, but the premium features shut down immediately or on your renewal date, depending on when you canceled.

If you had 3-day or 7-day video history enabled, those recordings disappear once your plan expires. Pro tip: Download or save any important clips before canceling. Furbo does not guarantee a grace period after cancellation, and recovered footage is not always possible.

Dealing with unexpected charges after cancellation

It is frustrating when a charge appears after you thought you canceled, and you are not alone. This happens when users cancel through the wrong platform or when the cancellation does not fully process. If you see a charge after your cancellation date, do this immediately.

1. Check which platform you originally subscribed through (Furbo website, Apple App Store, or Google Play).
2. Go directly to that platform and verify the subscription status shows "Canceled" or "Expires on [past date]."
3. If the status still shows "Active," cancel again and take screenshots.
4. Contact support at support@furbo.com with screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and the unwanted charge. Be clear about the date you canceled and the date the unexpected charge appeared.
5. If Furbo does not respond within 7 business days or refuses to refund, contact your bank or credit card company and dispute the charge. You have the right to do this under Philippine consumer law.
6. Pro tip: Keep all correspondence with Furbo saved. If you need to file a complaint with the DTI later, you will need this evidence.

Common mistakes when canceling furbo

Mistakes that leave you vulnerable to extra charges

Canceling a subscription should be straightforward, but Furbo's split between hardware and software makes it easy to slip up. Here are the traps that catch most Filipino users.

The biggest mistake is canceling through the wrong platform. If you subscribed on the App Store but try to cancel on Furbo's website, your subscription remains active and you keep getting charged. Always match the cancellation method to where you originally paid.

A second mistake is not confirming the cancellation. Many users see a "cancel" button, click it, and assume they are done. Furbo requires an additional confirmation step. If you skip it, your subscription stays live. Always complete the entire flow and wait for the confirmation email.

Third, users forget about multiple cameras. If you own two Furbo cameras, you may have one subscription covering both, or two separate subscriptions. When you cancel, check that all devices attached to your account are no longer billing. Open your subscription page and count how many cameras are linked. If you see charges for extra cameras you forgot about, contact Furbo immediately for a refund of those phantom charges.

Pro tip: Set a phone reminder for 24 hours before your renewal date so you have time to cancel if you change your mind. Once the renewal hits, getting a refund becomes much harder.

Cancellation checklist for furbo subscribers

Before you cancel: items to complete

• Note your exact billing date and current plan name.
• Save any video clips or footage you want to keep from your 3-day or 7-day history.
• Take a screenshot of your current subscription page showing the plan, price, and renewal date.
• Identify where you originally subscribed (Furbo website, Apple App Store, or Google Play).
• Check if you have more than one camera attached to your account and note the serial numbers.

During cancellation: steps to verify

• Complete all confirmation prompts. Do not stop partway through.
• Take a screenshot of the final confirmation page showing the cancellation was successful.
• Save the confirmation email from your payment provider or app store.
• Check your subscription status on the platform where you subscribed (not on Furbo's website) to confirm it now shows "Canceled" or "Expires on [date]."

After cancellation: ongoing verification

• Check your bank or credit card statement 2 to 3 days after your renewal date to confirm no charge appeared.
• If a charge does appear, contact your bank first to dispute it, then contact Furbo with your cancellation confirmation screenshot.
• Keep all emails and screenshots in a folder for at least 12 months in case you need to file a complaint with the DTI.
