[New product] Antiviral and antibacterial fiber: Cat collar made with Cleanse® x organic cotton. Also suitable for metal allergies.

Hello, this is YOKO from Poponeko♪

This time, we're introducing new cat collars with antibacterial and antiviral properties.

We met "CLEANSE® x Organic Cotton" when we were thinking about creating a cat collar that would always be clean. We've created a highly functional cat collar that's surprisingly soft.

A type compatible with metal allergies is also now available!

Worried about hair loss from cat collars?

A "cat collar" is an essential item to prepare for your cat's potential escape. However, many cat owners are "worried about collar baldness," aren't they?

The causes of collar baldness are that cat collars are "hard" and "heavy." They put too much strain on a cat's slender neck.

Also, it's not good for collars to become unsanitary.

Cat collars are easily soiled by moisture and sebum. If bacteria or mold (fungus) grow there, it can lead to unpleasant odors. Rashes and eczema are also likely to occur.

Hair around the collar can fall out, or the skin can become irritated and damaged from scratching. Skin problems can also lead to collar baldness.

Cat Collar with Antibacterial and Antiviral Functions

Cleanliness is paramount for cat collars. We recommend changing them on a weekly basis.

Even so, it's a concern during humid seasons or for cats with sensitive skin.

To ensure both cats and their loving owners can use them with peace of mind, we created cat collars using fabric treated with "CLEANSE®," a technology with excellent antibacterial and antiviral effects.

CLEANSE® is an excellent proprietary processing technology from Kurabo Industries Ltd. that immobilizes the antibacterial component "Etak" on the surface of fibers. It reduces specific viruses on the fibers and suppresses the growth of bacteria and mold (fungi).

Even though it's an antibacterial component, its safety is high enough to be used in baby products and medical settings. The fact that its effectiveness remains even after 50 washes is also a welcome point.

The gentleness of 100% organic cotton

When we hear "antibacterial and antiviral processing," we tend to imagine something stiff and rigid.

Because it's something a cat wears, we wanted to be particular about both functionality and gentleness. "CLEANSE® x Organic Cotton" fulfilled that ideal.

Even with antibacterial and antiviral processing, the softness of organic cotton remains the same. This is said to be the result of a special technology that does not compromise the natural texture of the material.

The texture is so soft it's used in baby products, which makes sense. Cats suffering from collar baldness and cats with sensitive skin can use it with peace of mind. It's a gentle cat collar that can always be used hygienically.

Also compatible with metal allergies

Some cats suffer from "metal allergies." Cats with metal allergies can develop inflammation even from the metal fittings on cat collars.

We sometimes received concerns like, "I want my cat to wear a collar in case they escape, but I'm worried about metal allergies."

If that's the case, we want to prioritize gentleness. With that in mind, we also prepared a "metal allergy compatible model" with a plastic buckle instead of a metal one.

Since it's metal-free, cats with metal allergies can use it with peace of mind.

Refreshingly cool with fresh colors

The new "CLEANSE® x Organic Cotton Cat Collar" comes in 5 colors: pink, blue, gray, navy, and ivory. The metal allergy compatible cat collars also come in all 5 colors.

The natural colors, suitable for any fur color, and the organic cotton texture give a refreshing impression. The fact that it can be used regardless of the season is also a key point.

We offer 3 sizes: S, M, and L (suitable neck circumference 11-23cm).

An ill-fitting cat collar can also cause "collar baldness," so please refer to "How to Measure Cat Collar Size" to choose a size that fits your cat.

We hope that the "CLEANSE® x Organic Cotton Cat Collar," recommended for cats with sensitive skin and cats with metal allergies, will be helpful.
