The Happy Nappy is a luxury kennel that reduces a dogs stress by integrating scents and sound-canceling walls to ensure the dog's comfort.

Dogs are pampered head to paw so their owners can demonstrate their love. There are dog spas, clothing, and even devices to let owners communicate with their cute little pupper when they are away. But when the owner leaves and the dog is put in a stressful situation, such as a loud thunderstorm, the innocent puppers are put in an uncomfortable metal kennel that is cold and uninviting. This isn’t the owners' fault though, because they have the option between a very expensive kennel that gives the dog comfort and peace or a cheap enclosure that they can just put a blanket in and call it a day. Most owners buy the more affordable option, but not anymore because the Happy Nappy is here to help. 

The kennel's design includes padding on all sides so the dog will never have an uncomfortable moment. Every little detail, down to the shape, has been tested by dog owners to see what they think their dogs would enjoy best. There is a scent diffuser that will release calming scents like lavender. The shape is of it was the most liked from customer reviews and can even double as a table. With the Happy Nappy, all dogs can be happy and stress-free 100% of the time, no matter the storm!

The Happy Nappy is a uniquely-designed, affordable dog kennel that allows the dog to destress.

The Happy Nappy is built to allow the animal to de-stress while feeling pampered all at the same time. We designed the Happy Nappy to be unlike most typical, unattractive kennels on the market. Animals often feel enclosed and uncomfortable in a cold, metal kennel. To help the animal feel pampered rather than stowed away, the Happy Nappy's soft pillow bottom and padded walls keep the animal comfortable at all times. Additionally, the luxurious lavender scents help the pet de-stress when in a state of panic. These comforting elements prevent the owner from worrying about leaving their anxious dog at home. We tested different shapes of the kennel. We chose to use the tent shape instead of the cone or box. The other two shapes were less appealing for our overall ascetic. Its large size works best for a range of dog sizes. 

This product's price allowsthe owner to get a luxury kennel without spending too much. Overall, the Happy Nappy is a stress-relieving kennel for both the dog and their owner. It's created to be affordable for pet owners that want their dog to feel luxurious.
