About The Entry

Inspired by the relaxed state pets experience when enjoying sunshine and breezes in nature, this smart pet washing and drying robot creates a soothing environment to lower pets’ stress responses, transforming the grooming process into a gentle spa treatment that pets genuinely enjoy.

The product innovatively automates the entire process encompassing washing, drying, and care. An industry-first dry-cleaning mode utilizes a gentle airflow to blow away loose fur and remove odors within 15 min. This completely eliminates the fear of water in pets like cats, providing a stress-free daily cleaning solution. A dynamic oscillating spray system, with nozzles automatically adjusting their angles, delivers a uniform low-pressure water mist while precisely avoiding the eyes and ears. The base incorporates a rotating pulsator to handle frequent paw washing after outdoor walks. In terms of drying, a dual-fan, internal-and-external air circulation system ensures all-around dynamic drying. Additionally, multiple safety features, including a child safety lock, emergency pause, and automatic door opening during power failures, are available to safeguard both pets and owners.

The robot adopts an integrated, minimalist design language, naturally blending into modern home environments like an elegant piece of furniture. The outer shell employs materials that are corrosion-resistant, UV-resistant, and tolerant of high humidity; all contact surfaces within the inner cabin are made from safe, non-toxic, skin-friendly, and antibacterial food-grade materials, fully meeting RoHS 2.0 environmental standards. Moreover, the circuit board is encapsulated with waterproof gel for complete separation between water and electricity. After each cycle, the product automatically flushes the pipelines and performs deep ozone sterilization, establishing a comprehensive hygiene protection system.
