As a dog lover, I found shopping for dog supplies online to be an overwhelming and frustrating experience. Popular dog store apps like Chewy, PetSmart, and PetCo were cluttered, slow, and difficult to navigate. The time-consuming process of adding items to the cart, combined with the abundance of choices, made the experience tedious. Inspired by these pain points, I designed PawCart, a user-friendly and efficient dog store app focused on simplifying the shopping experience for dog owners.
