"Industry First" Initiative: Well-Care Center Opened to the Public for the First Time

Kojima Co., Ltd., a comprehensive pet specialty store, held its first general viewing of the 'Well-Care Center' on April 11-12, 2026. This dedicated facility provides health management and care for dogs and cats before their store debut. Emphasizing the belief that health comes before cuteness, Kojima conducts an observation and care period of over 5 days for all pets, significantly exceeding the legal 48-hour requirement. The event aimed to build trust by showcasing the passion and science behind this behind-the-scenes process. Kojima focuses on preventive medicine and health literacy, particularly regarding genetic diseases. The tour highlighted the Health Check Center featuring radiographs, ultrasounds, and blood tests. It also showcased unique high-precision genetic testing for puppies and kittens, and a clean environment for socialization training. Participant feedback showed high satisfaction and trust in the veterinarians' inspection system and the staff's dedication.
