A Furry Dilemma

We all love our furry friends — but sometimes, they create a bit of chaos. Watching your dog run freely at the park feels great... until it’s time to deal with the mess.

The Mess Behind the Bath

Many owners turn to their sinks and bathtubs as makeshift grooming stations — a workaround that often leaves more mess than it cleans.

Dog Wash Market

I created a 2x2 diagram to analyze existing dog-washing methods on the market and identified a gap: an option that is both low-cost and accessible.

How might we provide urban dog owners with a low-cost, accessible dog-washing solution?

Inspired by the bike rental station under the global trend of sharing economy, I thought:

"Why can't we build a shared dog washing station?"

1. Find a nearby machine on the map, scan, or manually unlock.

2. Start the washing session, end the session, show the summary.

3. Select the snacks, pay, and pick them up from the machine.
