Research

While looking through social media, recommendations and asking questions, it was clear all along... people like having certainty and a close connection. Particularly when it comes to the ones close to them. While doing in-depth research, I discovered that the main need of dog owners is to find a place where they can continue their day with peace of mind knowing that there is a place that provides their dog with all its needs and maintains its daily routine.
