Concept

Customize your pet’s comfort and let them dry, sleep and relax in the most professional pet dryer.

Story

Drybo Plus is an automatic pet cabin dryer to dry your pet after their shower. It produces warm and even-distributed air that ensures your pets are fully dry in no time. We know how sensitive some of our pets can be; as a parent, you can fully customize Drybo Plus by setting up temperature, speed, and time either on the control panel or on our app.

 

Drybo Plus’s main goal is to perform comfy, quiet, and quick drying. Its ergonomic structure and intelligent heat control ensure your pets’ comfort and allow them to relax in a perfect smart pet bed.

Enough with conventional pet blow dryers. Pet drying should be enjoyable for them and effortless for you.

 

When it comes to their overall health, pet owners will do just about anything for their pets. Although bathing your pets can be beneficial under many circumstances, washing your furry little friend is not an easy task to perform, especially when it comes to the drying process.

 

Hands-free drying makes Drybo Plus stand out from all the other drying solutions. The smart cabin design enables you to focus on things other than managing your little friend’s escape plans: their comfort, their emotions, and their well-being.

In 2020, we released Dyrbo, our first-ever pet dryer. It was delivered to more than ten thousand households; our goal was to make the drying process of your pets more manageable and comfortable. In 2021, at Indigogo we introduce an upgraded version of the already brilliant solution for pet drying.

 

Drybo Plus drastically cuts drying times thanks to our patented motor, which acts as an air exchanger. It manages the ventilation for the whole cabin and removes stale and heated air from the inside to the outside, replacing it with fresh air.

We’ve designed three big exhausts that allow stale air to be ousted. Hundreds of venting holes placed on the doors along with the tempered glass ensure hot air gets expelled while channeling fresh air in Drybo Plus without the need to turn it on.

 

Most of the time, our pets don’t simply dislike blow dryers’ loud noises: they fear them. Noise aversion can be easily triggered before the drying process because, in your pet’s view, any blow dryer produces unexpected loud noises.

The essence of Drybo Plus is a quiet operation. We reduce the noise by improving air paths: Drybo Plus operates at 40dB in gentler cozy-dry mode and less than 60dB in the loudest quick-dry mode. This is all much quieter than a conventional human dryer that operates at more than 80dB.

Our R&D team spent considerable time and effort trying to figure out how to cancel the noise as much as possible. We have researched the air outlets and air duct designs of kitchen hoods to finally optimize a patented design that minimizes noise and air resistance.

Airflows go through an air path that creates a 3D-shaped spiral from narrow to wide, minimizing and canceling the flowing wind and motor noise.

 

Based on the observation and research on body postures of pets, our team took into account the common positions our paw friends take during the drying process. Whether curling up like a donut with all of their limbs tucked close to their body or just lying belly down on a cold surface, none of their positions is convenient for us to dry them thoroughly.

That is why our team has made special adjustments to the design of the wind duct and outlet. Drybo Plus delivers strong airflows from the bottom surface to effectively dry pets’ hard-to-reach areas like belly, thighs, and paws. However, there is no circuit part on the entire bottom as well. So you don’t have to worry if water drains down the base.

 

As pet lovers, we never joke about our friends’ safety. The protection system is designed to detect ten times per second any sign of overheating and other potential dangers. We have configured six sets of independent safety components to ensure the safety of Drybo Plus from both a physical and an electrical standpoint.

 

An average hair dryer for human hair operates at 150°F (65°C). This temperature is way too hot for our friend’s delicate furs, and it may cause accidental skin damage. The nozzle can only shoot concentrated heat to one spot at a time and leave the rest of the areas still damp and cold, increasing the chances of getting a cold.

On the other hand, a typical pet dryer shoots air at room temperature. It blasts the water out of the coat, which is not feasible in winter because low temperatures with strong airflows can make them vulnerable and uncomfortably wet.

Drybo Plus delivers a warm and gentle breeze that ensures their comfort and prevents them from getting cold while providing an even air distribution.

Our R&D team paid particular attention to temperature control because one of the general risks of bathing your pet in warm water is that they can catch a chill once they come out. Customization and intelligent heat control allow your paw friends to be appropriately taken care of by you and Drybo Plus.

The highest temperature of Drybo Plus doesn’t exceed 104°F / 40°C, which is slightly higher than the average body temperature of dogs and cats (101.0 to 102.5°F / 38.3 to 39.2°C).

 

For Drybo Plus, we have designed a panel that is clear and easy to operate. The accidental touch protection prevents children and animals alike from turning Drybo Plus on by accident.

You can customize the intensity of heat, blowing speed, and time directly on your phone and monitor the current temperature inside Drybo Plus anywhere, anytime.

We went the extra mile to make sure Drybo Plus fits your pet’s biorhythm and your home climate. Customization is at the core of Drybo Plus, and you can easily define personalized comfort for your pet.

 

No one likes frizzy hair, so our R&D team added negative ions to the device. Negative ions are an excellent remedy for pet owners to groom their fluffy and get a shiny coat. The negative ion generator draws moisture from the air, creating super-fine moisture-rich ions that penetrate each strand of hair for a healthy, less damaged look.

 

Essential oils might be relaxing and refreshing to human beings but are potentially poisonous for pets. We developed a magnetic diffuser that releases a relaxing odorless pheromone to reduce your pets’ anxiety effectively. We obviously have different versions for both your doggo and your kitty. Sponsors can choose their favorite version in the fulfilment survey before shipping.

 

Grooming in a noisy environment with unfamiliar smells is no easy task for your pet. Have you ever looked through the glass of a pet store, seeing your poor furry friends panicking without having the chance to comfort them?

Our R&D took this struggle seriously.

The patented design of our petting doors was created for paw parents to better comfort and take care of their furry kids. You can use the switch to open/lock the doors. Unlock the switch to put your hand in to interact and groom your pet.

Drybo Plus will become a super cozy bed when the doors are detached, where your pet can move in and out freely.

 

Hiding is part of animals’ natural behavior, especially when they feel stressed, anxious, or don’t feel like being bothered. Drybo Plus is made with tempered glass that you can see through, enabling you to pay attention to their needs and feelings. Drybo Plus can be the perfect hideaway for them.

Thanks to the heat and cool mode, cooling and heating mats are no longer needed. Your pet now has the chance to enjoy the summer breeze and winter warmth inside Drybo Plus.

 

The powerful ventilation system with a helix air path blows up all the pet hairs and collects them on the hair filter. You can easily pick all of them and clean the cabin with the slightest effort.

 

Drybo plus is super easy to clean and maintain. Its bottom part has no circuit, so you can detach the drainage plate to draw off all the unwanted liquid. Clean the bottom with a damp wipe, and Drybo Plus is again neat as new.

Dust filters in the motor compartment will trap dust from the air. Take it out with no effort, rinse it with cold water, and put it back when it’s dry.

 

 

Let us provide you with some weight references verified by our R&D engineers:

Drybo plus is suitable for:

  • two pets (cat or dog) weighing an average of 12 lbs.
  • one Mainecoon or one large British Shorthair (around 21lbs).
  • one 17-lbs dog.

If you still don’t know whether Drybo Plus would be a good fit, please contact us either by private message, email, or Facebook messenger.

 

 

*Please note that you won’t be charged for shipping fees on Indiegogo. We will invoice backers for shipping charges in a fulfilment survey once we’re ready to ship. You’ll be requested to pay for the shipping charge before the fulfilment.

Please check out the shipping chart below to learn more about the shipping fee for 1X and 2X units for your country or region.

 

We will ask every backer for plug and voltage preference (100V~130V or 200V~240V) through a fulfilment survey before shipping.

 

Product quality and safety are always our top priorities. Drybo Plus has been tested to comply with all safety standards and manufactured in full accordance with the national electrical code. The relevant certification process has been started. We have formally submitted the corresponding application to certification organizations and entered the review and test stage.

We own 47 patents worldwide, including the United States, China, the EU, Japan, and South Korea relating to innovative pet keeping. Drybo Plus alone has been granted six patents.

 

Since Drybo Plus is an improved version of Drybo, we mainly focus on upgrading the software, control circuit, and diffuser module to make Drybo Plus more intelligent and comfortable. It shares the mold with Drybo, which means that the most time-consuming part with the highest risk has been completed.

So we will be able to enter the mass production stage sooner after the campaign ends. We will keep you updated about the production and shipping status and updates in the project update section.

 

Jaguar, Kim, Gin, Winston, and Flower are the five cat officers that brighten up everyone in the Homerunpet office every single day. They all are super good at welcoming guests and have different personalities, so our products must be tested and approved before meeting the public. Drybo is always essential for them, especially in winter, because they LOVE staying in a warm and fuzzy place and daydreaming.

Homerunpet is a pet technology company founded by a group of R&D engineers with a passion for pets. Our founder, Frank Liu, has been a pet parent for more than 20 years. Frank and the core R&D team members came from Toshiba Medical, Mindray Medical, and other advanced medical instrumentation developers and manufacturers.

The shared pursuit of producing the best products for pets brings our team together. We’ve developed nine different products for our furry friends, and five of them are the top-selling products in China across multiple platforms. Now our company has grown into a team of nearly 100 people.

We’re still a company not widely known worldwide. This Indiegogo campaign is our first step to serve customers all around the globe. We also want to take this opportunity to introduce Drybo Plus, the most comfortable and effortless solution for pet drying, to more furry friends and paw parents. 

Thank you so much for reading our story. We look forward to bringing you the best products.
