Her beloved Japanese Chin puppy, Alexander James, was panting in the back of her car while she and her daughter, Kristen, were driving on a hot summer day in Rhode Island. She knew a bowl of water wouldn\u2019t work in a moving vehicle, and trying to give him water out of a bottle also would result in a mess. She needed a better solution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur puppy was warm in the car and I was concerned about him not being able to have water,\u201d said Diane. \u201cIt was pretty hot; I had to think of something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And she did. Diane came up with an idea for a hydration device that would provide pets with cool water anytime, anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>She went to the pet store to see if there were any such products on the market but \u201cwas not impressed\u201d by what she saw. \u201cI didn\u2019t think they would fulfill the goal I was looking for; I thought there should be more innovation,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4601 photo\" style=\"margin-left: 10px;\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Kristen-chair-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"davison inventions\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/>\u201cMy daughter thought it was a good idea; so, I said let\u2019s go for it and see what happens,\u201d said the HR and payroll administrator. Diane, who designs fashions as a hobby, considers herself to be a creative person. She realized it was \u201ccompletely impossible,\u201d however, to bring her idea to market on her own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did recognize that I would need a lot of help with that \u2026to make my idea a realty,\u201d she said. \u201cThey are a full service company, and that is one of the reasons I went with Davison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Initially, she thought her idea would be made into a product and selling in no time. She quickly learned there is a process, which begins with research. Our team found something similar to her idea on the market, so Davison designers set to work on making her product a little different, and a lot better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was so completely overwhelmed when I found out how much work goes into doing a product. At the time, I didn\u2019t understand they were going to make my idea better,\u201d said Diane.<\/p>\n<p>Kristen, a college student at the time, supported her mother, but she was skeptical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought it was a great idea, but\u00a0I\u2019m a skeptic at heart,\u201d said Kristen. When she later saw how the team had tweaked her mother\u2019s design, however, she thought it \u201cwas cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/MG_4935.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4602 photo\" style=\"margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"_MG_4935\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/MG_4935-181x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"181\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>Other than her daughter, Diane didn\u2019t tell anyone about her idea for a new product to keep pets hydrated because she was afraid they would try to talk her out of it. \u201cIt was our little secret.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, the secret&#8217;s out &#8212; her idea was turned into not just one, but three new hydrating chew toys!<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/blog\/meet-diane-inventor-of-the-hydro-line-part-2\/\">here<\/a> to read Part 2 of the exciting story about our client her invention, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/products\/pet\/hydro-bone\/\">Hydro Bone,<\/a> and the invention of the Hydro Line.
