“ People who have dogs today understand and feel the responsibility — they get that their dog needs something to do .”

“ People who have dogs today understand and feel the responsibility ,” says Trottier . “ They get that their dog needs something to do .”
In January 2016 , the CleverPet Hub received a successful , award-winning launch at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas . With news headlines touting “ The Hottest New Gaming Console Is for Dogs ,” Trottier and Knudsen have received a tremendous amount of interest from retailers and consumers alike , all clamoring to get their paws on one .
For Trottier and Knudsen , the Hub is only the beginning . The pair intends to create a full-fledged product line to change the entire lifestyle of our pets by making the whole home an interactive , intelligent virtual playground . “ If you give an animal something to do , they ’ re way happier , they ’ re less stressed out , they don ’ t show signs of depression . There are all these great benefits to enriching the environment of an animal ,” says Trottier . “ We think this is the beginning of a long , long journey of discovery , certainly not just for CleverPet , but for people to better understand their dogs .”
