How did you come up with the idea for this product?

Our inspiration came from the love we feel from our dogs. No matter how many treats and belly rubs we give them, it just felt like it wasn't enough and we wanted to give them a voice to make sure they were happy. That’s how Hachiko was born. We are proud to be to the best friend to man’s best friend and our goal always remains the same: help dog parents give their dogs the best care possible while having the most fun they can.
