Health and Safety

OEKO-TEX® certified sources

Julius-K9 has been addressing the issue of the absence of harmful substances in textile raw materials at the highest level for several decades. The OEKO-TEX® trademark indicates to buyers of dog harnesses and dog equipment that the product does not contain harmful substances and is therefore safe and skin-friendly. The basis of Julius-K9 product quality is that the dog’s body only encounters safe textiles. To this end, Julius-K9 works with European raw material suppliers who have OEKO-TEX certification:

Reliable German materials

Julius-K9 products are largely made from German materials and raw materials that are used in the clothing and automotive industries. Julius-K9 dog equipment is generally a true European product, as it uses ingredients from many European countries.

We stand by the German metal components

Worldwide success from the collaboration of German and Hungarian manufacturers

Research Results

Julius-K9 continues to conduct numerous motion and technical analyses in collaboration with universities and authorities to create the perfect dog equipment. This careful analysis and product development over three decades ensures that JK9 products guarantee the highest level of comfort, freedom of movement and safety for dogs.
