The Story

TattyHead is a new UK Pet Brand driven by the vision of bringing innovative dog training aids to the market. The concept for the Twist ‘N’ Treat dispenser was born out of a desire to provide dog owners with a practical treat container that would rattle when shaken and dispense treats in a controlled manner. The inspiration behind the product came from the family dog, Hugo, nicknamed “Tatty Head” due to his messy hair. Hugo’s response to the sound of treats motivated the development of a tool to assist with recall during off-lead moments in the park.

Details

To create the Twist ‘N’ Treat dispenser, D2M worked closely with TattyHead in a collaborative design process. Two prototypes were developed, with the first being a transparent blue test model to evaluate material, shape, and overall appearance. Based on the feedback and learnings from the initial prototype, the second prototype was enhanced with new features, including a neoprene textile sleeve that connected the dispenser to a belt loop or lead, providing added convenience for dog owners.

In parallel with the prototype development, D2M also worked on designing the packaging and developing the branding for the Twist ‘N’ Treat dispenser. The TattyHead logo was embroidered onto the neoprene textile sleeve, adding a distinctive touch. The packaging was carefully crafted to showcase the product’s features and appeal to dog owners looking for a practical and engaging treat dispenser.

 

Conclusion:

The collaboration between TattyHead and D2M resulted in the creation of the Twist ‘N’ Treat dog biscuit dispenser, a remarkable innovation in the pet product industry. With its practicality, fun design, and the ability to assist with dog training and recall, the Twist ‘N’ Treat has quickly gained popularity among dog owners. TattyHead’s dedication to delivering innovative products that cater to the needs of pets and their owners sets them apart in the market.
