Tailored solutions for everyday activities
UTSÅDD revolves around the four primary activities that cats and dogs engage in at home: eating, sleeping, playing, and hiding.
The collection offers practical solutions to make these routines more enjoyable and manageable for both pets and their owners.
From colourful ceramic food bowls with antislip placemats to cosy blankets and beds, every item is designed with comfort and functionality in mind.
The range includes durable toys made from natural rubber and fabric, as well as stylish hideouts such as modern tents and rattan houses, ensuring that pets feel safe and secure in their surroundings.
Prioritising pet safety
Safety was a paramount consideration throughout the development of UTSÅDD. IKEA implemented rigorous protocols and risk assessments based on extensive research and consultations with experts.
All products undergo periodic safety tests to assess their chemical, mechanical, and physical integrity.
Each item in the collection features clear safety labels, providing users with essential guidance on responsible usage and maintenance.
Customers are urged to familiarise themselves with these labels to ensure the well-being of their pets.
The UTSÅDD collection will be available in selected markets from April 2024 onwards.
