The thesis, in one line
Pupproper is what would happen if the same design discipline that built premium beauty turned its attention to the bottle for the dog. The premium beauty customer is the same person as the premium pet customer — she's just been buying her dog's products at the grocery store because there was nowhere else to go.
We have a 30-day return policy. Try the bottle. If it doesn't earn its place on your shelf, send it back.
