About HoundGames
I’ve always wanted to start a business around dogs, because I just love them. But I never knew what.
One day I was walking in a baby shop and saw the baby play mats and an idea just popped into my head. Why don’t they have those for puppies?!
And that was that, I had my business idea. But it was a long road of learning how to create a product from scratch. I persisted though and with the help of my husband, I eventually launched the puppy play mat.
Now we have several products and variations, and this awesome website that aims to educate and support dog owners!
To those of you reading this I extend a warm welcome, feel free to look around and make sure you check out our dog toys, I’m very proud of them and what we’ve created here at HoundGames.
