Snuggle up safely with a clear conscience: The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 with Tarigs
As responsible pet owners, we only want the best for our four-legged friends. This not only means lots of love and exercise, but also products that are safe and free from harmful substances. This is where the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 comes into play – a globally recognized seal that you can rely on at TARIGS, especially for our popular Snuggle Bag and the practical Booster Seat.
What exactly is the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100?
The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is an independent testing and certification system for textiles that was established in 1992. Its aim is to assure consumers and companies alike that textiles have been tested for harmful substances and are therefore harmless to health.
Why is this so important?
Fabrics are dyed, printed and treated with various chemicals. Some of these substances can be potentially harmful – they can trigger allergies, irritate the skin or even have a carcinogenic effect. The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 sets strict limits for a wide range of harmful substances, including
- Legally banned and regulated substances: These include, for example, certain azo dyes, which can release carcinogenic amines.
- Harmful chemicals: Pesticides, heavy metals, formaldehyde and many other substances that can have a negative impact on health.
- Preventive health parameters: Even if they are not banned by law, substances that can have a potentially allergenic or irritant effect are taken into account.
How does the test work?
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 testing is a comprehensive process carried out by independent testing institutes. Not only the finished product, but also all of its components – from threads to buttons to zippers – are put through their paces. The criteria and limit values are regularly updated and aligned with the latest scientific findings.
What does the label mean for you?
When you buy a product with the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 label, you can be sure that:
- The textile has been tested for harmful substances.
- The limit values for harmful substances have been complied with.
- The product is therefore harmless to health.
It is an important sign of transparency and responsibility in the textile industry. It helps you to make conscious purchasing decisions and choose products that are good for you and your family.
Tarig’s Snuggle Bag & Booster Seat: security meets safety
The Tarigs Snuggle Bag is a true all-rounder – whether at home, in a restaurant or on the go. It serves as a comfortable dog bed, a cozy cave or simply as a warm blanket. For the TARIGS dog carrier backpacks, we recommend choosing the Snuggle Bags in the size that matches the respective backpack. This ensures that your dog has plenty of space and feels completely comfortable.
The Tarigs Booster Seat was specially developed for Tarigs dog backpacks and offers your four-legged friend a comfortable elevation. But the Booster Seat can do even more! Do you need extra storage space on the go? No problem! Simply remove the PUR foam core and transform the Booster Seat into a practical compartment for a change of clothes, treats or other important items in no time at all. This allows you to make optimum use of the space in the dog backpack.
As your TARIGS Snuggle Bag serves your dog as a cozy place to sleep and cuddle and the Booster Seat has direct contact with your pet, it is particularly reassuring to know that we at TARIGS use materials that meet the strict criteria of the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100.
Both the Snuggle Bag and the Booster Seat bear this important seal. What this means for you:
- Absolute safety for your dog: you can rest assured that the materials used are free from harmful substances that could endanger the health of your beloved four-legged friend.
- Tested quality: The OEKO-TEX® seal is a clear sign of careful processing and the use of high-quality materials.
- Sustainability in mind: Even if the focus is primarily on the absence of harmful substances, the use of certified materials indirectly contributes to more environmentally conscious production.
