Recommended models: electric mouse, color elongated cat teasing sticks
 
With annual sales of 400 billion yen ($3.5 billion), Petio is one of Japan's largest pet products brands, and pet toys are the core segment of Petio's pet products. In addition, Petio's pet products are also very design-oriented, and won the GDA Design Award in 2006 and 2010.
 
Petio's toys are divided into two categories: cat toys and dog toys, of which cat toys are the main category, which can reflect the tendency of Japanese people to keep pets. According to statistics, in 2017, the number of pet cats in Japan has surpassed that of pet dogs, reaching 9.526 million, which is mainly due to the fact that the cost of raising pet cats is lower than that of dogs, followed by the fact that raising cats requires less energy, which is suitable for Japan, which is increasingly aging.
 
Petio's pet toys for cats can be roughly divided into three series: pet backyard, electric toys, and cat teasing sticks, among which the pet backyard series containing wood is the most distinctive. It is a close relative of kiwifruit, and its effect is similar to that of catnip, which can make cats feel excited and happy, but the effect is more pronounced than that of catnip. If the cats at home are not interested in ordinary toys, it will be a good choice to add toys with wood and knotweed.
 
If you put aside the selling point of Mu Tianjiao, the backyard series can also be called a classic of Petio. The backyard series designs the dolls in the shape of cats' favorite balls and mice, with small shapes and delicate patterns. The collection also comes in a delicate gift box, which is suitable for gifts and can also be used to store toys, which is quite practical.
 
The electric toy series is a hot-selling style of Petio, among which the electric mouse toy is the most popular. In terms of styling, the electric mouse is more like a cockroach, and this toy is able to escape by vibration, and the escape route is irregular. If you buy a matching runway, multiple "mice" shuttle back and forth in the semi-sealed runway, which will make cats quickly like this toy. However, this toy also has a disadvantage, that is, the vibration noise of the "mouse" in the runway will be relatively large, and the automatic turning function mentioned in the advertisement sometimes does not work.
 
Compared with ordinary cat teasing sticks, Petio's cat teasing sticks have more advantages in the length of the rope throwing, and the color elongated cat teasing stick is one of the more representative ones. The rope is 1.4 meters long, and the rope is composed of sections of colored lines, and the shape is rich in variations. There is also a built-in bell at the end of the rope, which can attract the attention of the cat more, and the non-exposed design can prevent domestic cats from swallowing by mistake, and the safety is higher.
 
In addition to cat toys, most of Petio's dog toys are designed in the shape of cute dolls, made of latex material, which is not resistant to bites, but will make a "squeak" sound, which is more suitable for puppies. Petio's pet toys generally have a unit price of no more than 50 yuan, and the shape is small, which is more cost-effective among imported toys.
