Introducing Our Office Pets

We’re pretty serious about product testing around here–and when it comes to pet products, our team is happy to oblige! Here are some of the furry faces and four-legged friends you might see scampering around our office.

Our Team

We’re a little biased, but our team is basically the best. We’re *pet* people, we’re *people* people. We’re all the things for all the things, and we love to geek out over new ideas, new people products, and new ways to make livin’ life convenient and fun.
