Solving Dog Waste Care Challenges: Launch of 'Unko Pants,' a Combined Dog Diaper and Poop Bag

Shizukai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Marika Nakano) announces the launch of 'Unko Pants,' a disposable dog diaper with an integrated odor-proof plastic bag, designed to reduce the burden of waste management for all dogs, including those requiring care due to aging.

Unlike conventional dog diapers, this product features an integrated design with a specialized odor-resistant plastic bag attached at the tail hole. This allows separation of urine and feces for easier disposal, minimizing soiling of the dog's body and significantly reducing both the physical and emotional burden on pet owners during cleanup.

Development Background ■

An aging pet population and increasing care demands.

In recent years, advances in veterinary medicine and improved pet care environments have extended dogs' lifespans.

However, waste management for aging dogs has become a significant burden for owners.

Most standard dog diapers are designed to absorb both urine and feces within the same diaper, leading to issues such as soiled fur, odor, skin irritation, and frequent cleaning requirements. 'Unko Pants' was developed specifically to address these challenges.

Product Features ■

1. Integrated diaper and plastic bag design

This all-in-one design catches urine in the diaper and feces in the separate plastic bag, preventing waste from adhering to the fur inside the diaper and reducing cleanup effort.

2. Odor-proof plastic bag

The plastic bag uses a 7-layer multi-laminated film, providing excellent odor containment and minimizing smell after defecation.

3. Fits various tail shapes

The soft material around the tail hole gently accommodates different tail shapes, reducing discomfort for the dog.

4. Urine indicator

A color-changing line alerts owners when the dog has urinated, making it easy to know when to change the diaper.

Additional diaper features

Highly absorbent polymer locks in urine, while the breathable embossed absorption sheet enhances comfort.

Reusable waist fastening tapes and 3D gathered construction help prevent urine leakage.

The entire diaper features a cute paw print pattern design.
