Our day with the faculty went very well. We received a lot of feedback and we were able to completely change our idea to make it a lot better. We talked about using essential oils in the dog treats, and most of the teachers told us to look into that. We did and found out essential oils are harmful for dogs, so that’s when we chose a new idea based off of the feedback. Our solution still has to do with the topic of food, but we are focusing on an entirely different issue having to do with arthritis. Before, we wanted to help dogs dealing with depression after an amputation, but realized that you cannot track the mood of a dog. Now, still knowing that the dog wont respond, we have revised our solution to help benefit the dog’s joints so that they can walk around more without as much pain. Other modifications include the ingredients, thorough research on certain foods, and how we will communicate with shelters to help promote our treat. We know families with dogs suffering from arthritis, and we want to reach out to them to try and help their dogs. We have been calling some of these families over the past few weeks, and haven’t been talking about our treats, but asking questions to help our research for a better solution. Our solution is very important to dogs because it will help ease their pain. More than 20% of all dogs suffer from arthritis, and their pain is excruciating. Owners obviously wouldn’t want to see their dogs in pain, so giving them an easy and affordable treat to help soothe their pain should be their number one priority. Dogs with arthritis have hurting joints, so getting around the house or out for a walk is tough for them. Giving them this anti inflammatory treat will help them get up and out of the house, to have more energy and an overall improvement in health. Our solution will have a positive impact in our community because there will be happier dogs and happier owners, knowing that their pets aren’t living with discomfort. Our group expects to see dogs with more energy and that they can get up without the pain. We also want to see more people walking their dogs throughout the day.
