Give your pet a rest in the Karpathia®IXO den, which will protect him from unpleasant harassment by ticks. Whether outdoors in the garden or indoors, you will allow him to sleep without being bothered.
Recently, there has been an increase in the number of ticks in Europe due to warming. Ticks are carriers of encephalitis, Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, babesiosis and other serious diseases that are very difficult to treat. So that you don't have to give up the experience of being outdoors, or if you do outdoor work, we have developed a special Prolen® IXO polypropylene fibre that reduces the possibility of being infested by the IXODES Ricinus, the tick most commonly found in Europe. This fibre contains natural substances that are non-irritating to humans, it is made on a natural base without pesticides and synthetic repellents. It was developed in Slovakia by Chemosvit Fibrochem, s.r.o. in cooperation with the Institute of Parasitology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice and the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the P.J. Šafárik University in Košice. Our dog bed is not only comfortable, but also safe for your pet.
Thread Prolen® IXO is treated with a repellent based on natural substances, active ingredient: decanoic acid (decanoic acid, n-decanoic acid, capric acid). This substance has a repellent effect against ticks and has been registered by the European Chemicals Agency for use as an active substance in repellents (product category 19) and pest control (product category 18) since 1.11.2015.
Certificates and test reports
The repellency test protocol 1/2019-FibroTick from the Centre of Applied Research of the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice determined a reduction in the residence time of adult female Ixodes ricinus ticks on the fabric compared to an equivalent fabric made of fibre without a repellent substance. Thus, the Karpathia® IXO dog bed becomes a haven for your pet, where it will no longer be bothered by ticks.
Ingredients: 100% polypropylene Prolen® IXO (treated with a repellent, reducing the possibility of tick infestation IXODES Ricinus, based on natural substances)
Dimensions: 100 cm x 50 cm
At the same time, the fibre is hydrophobic and thermo-insulating, so it keeps your dog comfortable even when it's cold outside.
