JK9 Sync

JK9 Sync is designed to make city living with dogs safer and more comfortable. Thanks to its high-tech knitting material the extremely breathable harness provides an ultra-ergonomic fit while also has extreme tensile strength for control. Its integrated hardware provides high accuracy geolocation to help you find your dog if it gets lost. The hidden LED lights automatically switch on when it's getting dark creating a safe visibility in the city. Built-in movement sensors track your dog's activity level and signals when it drops below healthy.

Cat Harness

Friday, 25 September 2026

Wee

This pet harness is designed for cats allowing them to go on walks outdoors. It uses a continuous strip of nylon webbing, two soft pads, two fasteners and a triangle ring. It requires almost no labor-intensive sewing because a small fixture was designed to form and hold the webbing at various angles to facilitate construction. The resulting harness is very light weight: 35g. This is appropriate for cats, who need the harness to be as light as possible. The harness fastening system uses a slide buckle for instant release instead of the more common center release buckle.

Coral Scratcher

Coral Scratcher is a cat scratching post inspired by coral branches and ocean waves. The branching form provides footholds, so cats can climb to the top and rest there, including cats that are less agile. The top also serves as a side table for items such as books, magazines and remote controls. The main body is made from environmentally friendly paper wicker, which resists scratching and sheds little. The base and top are made from cold rolled steel with a plastic finish. A modular structure joined by a single threaded rod allows the height to be adjusted.

Expandable Cat Travel Bag

Wednesday, 23 September 2026

Cozy

Cozy is an expandable travel bag designed for cats. The bag can be unfolded into a wall-mounted scratching board or a floor mat, which reduces the time the product stays unused. When closed, Cozy serves as a carrier for outings. When flat, the panel can be hung on a wall or pushed under a sofa. A ventilation window keeps the cat visible and safe. The inner surfaces use soft stretch fabric and sisal rope, while the frame uses hollow aluminium tubes and hollow wooden boards to reduce weight. The cushion is detachable for easy cleaning.

Pet Power Assistive Exoskeleton

Monday, 21 September 2026

Repawse

Repawse is a rehabilitation exoskeleton designed for dogs with hindlimb impairment. Surface electromyography sensors read muscle signals from a healthy forelimb, and a microcontroller uses these signals to predict movement intention. Linear actuators then move the hindlimb support in real time, so walking stays coordinated and natural. The frame is made of aluminum alloy, the lining of soft memory foam, and the soles of anti-slip rubber. Parts are 3D printed from body scans for an individual fit and greater comfort.
