Tumbo was founded to help provide happiness and joy to our beloved family members, our pets. Pets have become a giant part of cultures all around the world and pet ownership has tripled in the US alone since the 1970's. Pets have definitely become part of our families. They are our companions, they grow up with our kids, they provide comfort and friendship, they don't judge, they love unconditionally, and they are great to cuddle with! At Tumbo, we believe in finding ways to give back to them in the form of exercise and fun. Pets love to play and just like us, they need exercise too. As life seems to become increasingly busy and more members of the family are working longer hours, our pets can easily be overlooked when it comes to exercise, especially our dogs that really crave it. In the beginning our founder Brian Mowlds set out to design a toy that his dog could use by itself while he was at work and he used a bungee cord to power it. The Tumbo Tugger was born.
