  1. THE AMAZING SWITCHAROO BY: NATHALIE, BORA, MARA, AND SONNET

  2. As a team we decide to create a product that we thought would succeed in Morocco and in the United States. We had to come up with a product particularly for cats and/or dogs. After group discussions we were able to agree on one product. This product was to make everyone’s life easier when traveling with their pet(s). We agreed upon this product as a team, and in the end decided to create a product such like a kettle. This kettle though was for all types of cats and dogs no matter how big or small, how fat or thin they are. This is an easier way of traveling for our pets. DESPCRIPTION

  3. We have come up with three different materials to use depending on the customer’s preference, we offer; metal, plastic, and cloth. This way we make everyone happy and that special pet feel like a family member. We also thought about how kettles usually are bulgy and take up too much space that this kettle will be able to be folded and put away. It will fold so many times that it can fit into your pocket. In addition, this kettle will ease the pet from being anxious throughout the trip since it will be very comfortable. Description Add-On
