Intro:
Summer can be tough for pets, especially dogs with thick coats. One U.S. pet brand came to us with a problem: their customers were struggling to keep their pets cool during the hottest months. They needed custom cooling mats that were safe, durable, and comfortable.
The Challenge:
The client wanted mats that:
- Stayed cool for hours without refrigeration
- Were waterproof and easy to clean
- Came in sizes suitable for small to large breeds
- Could be produced at a price point that worked for mass sales
Our Solution:
We worked closely with their design team to develop a special gel-filled mat with a waterproof Oxford cover. After prototyping, we optimized:
- Thickness and firmness for comfort
- Size options to fit popular dog breeds
- Fabric texture to prevent slipping
We also advised on packaging design, making it easy for shipping while keeping costs low.
Results:
- Launch month sales jumped 40%
- Customers praised how their pets stayed comfortable even in peak heat
- Social media reviews and videos increased engagement for the brand
Takeaway:
Custom solutions don’t just meet a market need—they create loyal customers and drive real sales growth. By combining smart materials, thoughtful design, and our manufacturing expertise, this project became a summer hit.
