Dailyhoo Founder Story

From a Birthday Wish to Dailyhoo

Leona, living in Canada in 2020, met her puppy Leo, a seven-month-old Border Collie-German Shepherd mix. From the first day, Leo stole her heart—but she quickly realized raising a happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated dog wasn’t always easy. Like many pet parents, she worried about boredom, separation anxiety, and how to keep Leo engaged and happy while she worked or ran errands.

Just five months later, she dreamed of throwing him the cutest, most memorable birthday party ever. She headed to PetSmart, walking down every aisle searching for decorations, toys, and treats that felt just right—something fun, something meaningful, something that truly captured Leo’s personality. But she found nothing that met her hopes. Leo’s first birthday quietly passed… no balloons, no party hat, not even a keepsake photo.

That moment sparked an idea. What if there were toys that weren’t just fun—but also mentally stimulating, safe, and built to last? What if playtime could help dogs like Leo feel happy, challenged, and loved, even when their humans aren’t home?

Fast forward five years—Leona is now 29, and Leo is no longer a puppy, but he’s still her world. That love and frustration inspired Dailyhoo, a brand dedicated to creating toys that bring joy, enrichment, and comfort to every dog. Every toy is carefully designed with purpose: treat puzzles to challenge minds, tug toys to encourage active play, and interactive games to strengthen the bond between dogs and their humans.

Our furry friends, like Leo, are at the heart of everything we do. They inspire us to make every tail wag, every bounce, and every bark count. We use pet-safe materials, rigorous safety testing, and thoughtful designs to ensure each product is something pets and owners can trust.

Dailyhoo exists to make playtime smarter, happier, and healthier—so dogs get the engagement, comfort, and joy they deserve, and pet parents can feel confident they’re giving their furry friends the best.
