OrthoPets and Dassiet to launch pet healthcare products
by Katie Pfaff
Dassiet, a materials company, and pet orthotics and prosthetics company, OrthoPets, will collaborate on an effort to improve pet healthcare products. The effort will focus on producing sustainable and safe choices to treat pet injuries, including bandages, casts, and splints.
The new line of products, called UPETS, will include wound care and fracture products, and aim to address some of the issues with pet care products, including poor fit and harsh materials.
"Treating injuries in pets is hard. Pets cannot tell if their bandages are too tight, or if their skin starts to macerate. Currently, the casting process takes [too] long and has multiple steps, and the available materials expose pets to allergic reactions and other complications,” said Jimmy Takki, CEO of Dassiet. “With our materials proven with human patients, and the incredible expertise the OrthoPets team has in animal orthoses, we can bring pet trauma care to the modern day.”
UPETS’ items will maintain airflow, can be remolded, are made of nontoxic materials, and use Woodcast material in order to be lightweight. The new line will keep the pet comfortable and not negatively impact the environment.
