I want pets to take their medicine with joy!

The number of trial runs before MediBall became a product was countless. As individuals working in clinical settings, we couldn't compromise if we wanted to bring joy to pets. From slight differences in taste and hardness to size and packaging, we repeatedly collaborated with developers and manufacturers, having our staff's dogs and cats sample the product. Sometimes, we even tasted it ourselves, and that's how the current MediBall was created.

Since it is a treat for administering medicine, palatability is crucial, but it must not affect the illness being treated. Additionally, taste preferences vary.

The first prototype of MediBall was made with a flavor that many pets like, "chicken breast flavor," and we carefully selected low-fat chicken breast as the primary ingredient. We had decided from the beginning to make it soft and ball-shaped. To make it soft, we thought adding more moisture would suffice, but making it moist and soft also meant it would dry out easily, become brittle, and spoil quickly.

We faced challenges in maintaining softness and determining the ideal size to wrap even large pills. There were times when we doubted if we could achieve our ideal product.

The developers always took our repeated requests seriously and worked diligently.

The "Medi" in MediBall comes from "medicine." It's essentially a medicine ball.

As an aside, decorative "Kusudama" balls are also written as "medicine balls" in Japanese. Historically, these balls were filled with fragrances to ward off evil and extend life, and they were displayed on May 5th during the Boys' Festival.

If pets like these tasty medicine balls, the time for taking medicine will become a pleasant time.

And not only when giving medicine, but if MediBall becomes a favorite daily treat, pets will eat it without any suspicion even when it contains medicine.
