Waubox

Waubox and Miaubox are innovative solutions offered by Fressnapf, a leading pet supplies retailer in Germany. These businesses aim to provide a convenient and efficient shopping experience for pet owners, allowing them to easily purchase all their necessary pet supplies through a user-friendly online platform.

What was the idea behind the Waubox?

  1. Provide an online platform for pet owners to order a surprise box for their pets.
  2. Streamline the ordering and delivery process to save time and improve convenience.
  3. Offer a wide selection of pet products at a competitive price of 24,90€ every two months.
  4. Provide an experience both for the owner and the pet that is worth sharing on social media.
  5. Foster a sense of community for pet owners through features such as reviews and recommendations.

Part of the Waubox team: Felix Ladstätter (right) was the first partner on the project.
The Waubox and Miaubox seek to provide an experience where every two months the pet gets new toys, food and surprises that are worthwhile.
