This project was based on the separation anxiety that is triggered in dogs by the separation from their owners. The objective was to provide a product to achieve mental and/or physical stimulation when the dog is not with company. dogbuddy is a dog toy that stimulates them when they are unaccompanied at home. Here are some characteristics. Movement: it moves around the home for best interaction with the dog. Vibration: it can vibrate to attract the attention of the dog. Prizes: possibility of rewarding the pet as it interacts with the product. Also, an app and a product for the owner were designed as well.
The purpose of the app is for the owner to have a control over their pet. Such as being able to check the activity that the dog has had with dogbuddy, have the option to see tips for taking care of their pet, news, among others and also, connect and activate your other devices for more ease.
dogbuddyparent is a device created for the owner who wants to have more control and security over their dog. The owner will have the option to see his pet through a camera, activate music on Spotify from his application and also dispense prizes. However, the owner can have more than two devices in the house to expand these activities in the desired areas.
