UPDATE #3 // October 10th, 2024
Great news! Production of our first run on the Pet Piano is officially complete, and we’ll be shipping them out from our warehouse in Los Angeles on October 25th (there was 2 week delay due to a typhoon). We can’t wait for your pet to start making music and enjoying their treat-powered piano!
UPDATE #2 // August 7th, 2024
We have some fantastic updates to share with you! We're thrilled to announce that all the piano pieces have finally been manufactured. Starting tomorrow, we will begin the assembly process. This is a significant step forward, and we couldn't be more excited.
Overcoming Challenges
The manufacturing phase took 45 days longer than expected due to some challenges with the piano keys. Initially, the keys were too stiff. We needed to strike the perfect balance—making the keys robust enough to withstand the long-term force from a 100+ lb dog while ensuring they were flexible enough for a kitten to press down easily. After rigorous testing and adjustments, we've achieved the ideal design.
Live Demonstration at CatCon
We showcased our progress this weekend at CatCon, where Michael gave a live demonstration of the Pet Piano. He played an 8-note song that captivated the audience. The positive feedback was overwhelming, and we're grateful for the support. You can watch the performance here.
Thank You for Your Support
We appreciate your patience and continued support throughout this journey. Despite the setback, we're still on track to start shipping the Pet Pianos in October. Your encouragement keeps us motivated, and we can't wait for your pets to start playing their tunes.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey with us. Stay tuned for more updates as we move into the assembly phase and get closer to bringing the Pet Piano to your homes.

We Made It!
Wow, what an incredible journey it's been! Today, we're thrilled to share that, thanks to your amazing support, we've hit our crowdfunding goal of $20,000! Your enthusiasm for Pet Piano has been heartwarming and truly essential in turning this dream into a reality—so a huge THANK YOU from all of us!
If you haven’t secured a spot for the piano, we still have a little over a month left in the campaign and Pre-Order Pricing (22% OFF + FREE SHIPPING).
We Made It! Although I'm tempted to go on about how grateful I am for your support, there's plenty of exciting news to share about what's next. Here’s what’s coming up:
Manufacturing Now that we have enough support to build the injection molds, we’re going to move forward with getting final quotes.
Final Touches: We've made some essential final tweaks to the Pet Piano's design:
-
Security Enhancement: We’ve added a ball catch lock under the lid to keep the piano secure from curious paws, without changing its sleek exterior.
-
Adjustable Dispensing: We've refined the treat dispenser to allow for varying amounts of treats to be dispensed at a time, catering to your pet's needs and your preferences.
-
Portion Control and Scheduled Feedings: We’ve finished with the android version of the app and are now moving on to the iPhone version.
-
Packaging: We're also finalizing the packaging designs to ensure that your Pet Piano arrives safely and stylishly.
My wife’s video
Over the weekend, I was thrilled to see one of our videos go viral! Even more impressive is that this video was a spontaneous creation by my wife featuring our foster cat and boys. I thought this campaign's success would mostly be on Michael and me, but I’m happily proven wrong. It’s awesome to see that it’s not just us—others are loving the Pet Piano and making fun videos that really connect with people everywhere.
Beyond the joy these videos have sparked, we're thrilled to share that several of our testers, inspired by their pets' success with the Pet Piano, have started teaching them new tricks. It’s not just about the piano anymore; it’s about enriching their lives and deepening the bonds they share. This has been an unexpected and heartwarming development in our community!
The upcoming months are going to be bustling with activity, and we're ecstatic to have you with us for every moment. Your involvement means the world to us.
Thank you for being a part of our Pet Piano family.
