Aperitivo dog toy
Designed for Mia Cara, 2024
Aperitivo is a sensory game, designed to engage and entertain dogs by stimulating their senses and natural abilities.
Made from durable silicone, Aperitivo features multiple compartments: one serves as a slow feeder to encourage healthier eating habits, another functions as a sniffing toy to activate foraging instincts, and a third acts as a licking mat for spreadable foods. It’s a fun and pleasant way for dogs to enjoy a variety of snacks, much like a traditional aperitivo.
Mia Cara is one of the leading companies in high quality products for pets. In our collaboration with them we often work on products that are a bit unconventional. We are pushed to research in a niche with very specific requirements in terms of materials, durability and hygiene and to study the needs of our four legged friends as well as the ones of their human mates. We always conduct many tests on the products, to try their functions and see how the animals interact with the object, often with the use of mockups and 3D-printed prototypes and with the help of our dog Oreste.
