Mr. Polite Pet

We are Aus, 14, and Mikel, 10, students in third year of high school and fifth year of elementary school, respectively. Beach volleyball players, passionate about good food, travel, technology, reading and cultures. We are great friends with Mike our dog and all those animals that cross our daily life. We love to make plans and design the ideas we come up with and we hope to achieve our goals with the help of our family.

Mr. Polite Pet

Mr. Polite Pet shows us how lucky we are.

 

We have detected a problem when it comes to adopting a puppy, because the supply that is on the market does not meet all the breeding needs that we have had in these two years. Given those needs, we set out to plan, design and prototype a comprehensive system that helps us to care for and provide the highest levels of animal welfare that our friend Mike deserves.

With the help of our family we have tackled every step of this development, for example together with our mother we made the initial drawings on our iPad using Procreate. All these drawings have been the basis for the 3D designs that we generated using two specialized software Tinkercad and SkethUp. Finally the plastic parts were printed on our 3D printer Artillery SideWinder X2. The parts developed in nylon were lined with neoprene and completed with a section of a highly reflective material from 3M called ScotchLite. These parts were sewn using an old Singer machine that my father uses to make hats. The electronic schematics were created using the iPad and carried out with our Arduino Kit, a lot of internet research, reading and the help of our father.

 This Mr. Polite Pet project and the years of working with our best friend Mike, have made us reflect on something that is very important to us. We are very fortunate, we were born in a quiet and safe place, in the bosom of a family that loves us and cares that we have all the possible tools to sound big and try to realize everything that crosses our imagination. We are happy and very conscious of the wonderful life that our family provides us. Thank you.

We work to build a community project. Support us, help us, advise us, suggest us, let’s make it happen together.

Our immediate goal is to publicise the project to initiate the pre-launch of a crowdfunding campaign, we want the community of animal lovers to help us make this project a reality and make it a participatory development. Visit our ore launch campaign on Indiegogo

From 2021 to Today

We have a strong awareness of animal welfare, respect for animals, our responsibility to these domesticated species that are absolutely dependent on our decisions and rational training to relate to intelligent animals such as horses and dogs.

Today we have a functional prototype adjusted, improved, that is in face of miniaturisation, to reach a size that makes it cost-effective, energy efficient, with optimal functionality and great comfort for the animal. No animal has suffered any harm or pain during this process.

Follow us on our blog, social networks, Indiegogo to keep up to date with all the news. Support our project by signing up for our newsletter.

 

We have our feet on the ground but we dream big, join us and let’s make this world a better place.

Our system pursues the welfare of our animals and their safety is guaranteed as much as possible. We present our system Mr. Polite Pet, both in collar and harness. Trademark and brand registration in progress.
