Brand Concept "Friendly to Dogs, People, and the Earth"
A dog's happiness is that he can see the smiles on his family's faces when he eats delicious food. In order to achieve this, IICO believes that it is necessary for people to be healthy and for the earth to be clean.
(1) IICO's snacks are not "miscellaneous goods" but "foods" that people can eat together.
Under Japan law, dogs are treated as "property" and dog supplies are treated as "miscellaneous goods". Shampoo for dogs is not a cosmetic product, but a miscellaneous product. Food and snacks are miscellaneous goods, not food. IICO manufactures in equipment that has cleared the Food Sanitation Law and thoroughly labels the quality of food standards so that it can be used with greater peace of mind.
(2) Additive-free snacks that do not use flour, eggs, dairy products, or sugar
We carefully select raw materials so that more people can eat them, and pursue a size and hardness that are easy to use regardless of breed or age. All small heart cookies, less than 2 cm, are made by hand. We only serve what people think is delicious to eat.
Criteria for Selecting Raw Materials
1. No allergens (flour, eggs, dairy products, corn, nuts, etc.) are used.
2. The ingredients must be additive-free (no food additives).
3. Safe and secure.
4. Tasty and palatable.
5. Stable procurement possible.
(3) Borderless design that does not make you feel a sense of life
My sister is an interior designer, and my sister is an apparel. Each of them has designed in a different genre. That's why I try to design things that don't interfere with the interior or fashion. It features a simple but edgy design that doesn't look like a dog product.

IICO is actively engaged in sustainability initiatives.

3. Proposal of sustainable items that are useful for living with dogs
4. Contributing to the reduction of food loss
