New stuff for dogs and cats

After bringing out a new catalogue of products for cage birds and small mammals last year, Ferplast is now concentrating entirely on dogs and cats. The new products featured in its 240-page catalogue include wooden dog kennels made from Nordic pine, for instance. These are available in new, fashionable colours such as light green and light blue. All the kennels have been treated using the so-called flow coating process; according to Ferplast, this system guarantees a fourfold increase in service life compared with normal coating. Only non-toxic, water-soluble paints are used. Two kennel models are offered, “Chalet” and “Baita”. The first of these, in the form of a classic kennel, features chew-resistant aluminium profiles, while the second is distinguished by a gently sloping roof. New collars and leads “Joy” and “Lux” are two new lines of collars and leads produced by Ferplast. The products are manufactured from especially durable, cushioned high-tech material and embellished with sparkling strass, small rhinestones and bright gems. The harnesses in these two ranges have a so-called “easy regulation” system. As a result, according to Ferplast, fitting the harness on small dogs is child’s play. The collars are not adjustable but are offered in various sizes. The collars in the new “Circus” line are trendsetters incorporating some interesting technical details (soft material, internal nylon cord to guarantee maximum durability). Ferplast names the “Giotto” range as its most upmarket product line. Products in this line are made from top-quality leather and include internal padding over their entire length as well as a fine adjustment system, ensuring that they fit the dog’s neck perfectly. The leashes have a softly padded handle and sit securely and comfortably in the hand. “Mika” is the name of the new cat toilet launched on the market by Ferplast. This is angular so that it can be placed in a corner, taking up the minimum of space. The base has been raised deliberately so as to contain the cat litter and cat waste more efficiently. A version without a cover is marketed under the “Dama” brand. There are cushions and beds in new styles for dogs and cats, and Ferplast has also come up with some new toys, ranging from chew toys of flavoured natural rubber to floating toys for dogs.Download: New stuff for dogs and cats (PDF file)
