Nina Ottosson from Karlskoga has always been a dog owner. When she became a mother, she had less time to train her dogs. Nina was troubled by this, knowing how important it is for dogs to have something to do in order to be healthy and happy.
Nina invented activity toys for her dogs to allow the dogs to work and play in an easy, fun way indoors with their owner.
She started the company Zoo Active Products AB in 1993, which develops and makes Nina's dog toys in Värmland. The dog toys are patented and sold in over 25 countries.
Nina's plastic and wooden toy let dogs lift blocks, rotate disks and other fun dog activities.
Nina won an award in the Beautiful Business Award competition in 2009 for her clever ideas and ability to do business.
