  • Cyclic Chew Assessment

    Utilizing a systematic approach to cyclic chewing analysis, our methodology is designed to thoroughly evaluate the potential hazard manifestation and injury risk associated with a product under investigation. By concentrating on protruding or otherwise accessible components, we strive to ensure the utmost safety for your canine consumers.

    Our advanced analysis technique replicates the morphology, biomechanics, and capabilities of a dog, providing a simulation of potential hazard manifestation during product usage. This rigorous testing procedure allows us to identify and address potential risks, ensuring that your products meet the highest safety standards before reaching the market.

    Invest in the safety and satisfaction of your consumers by choosing our state-of-the-art cyclic chewing analysis for your product evaluation needs.

    Leveraging morphologically accurate canine jaw models, our bite and pull analysis provides an in-depth assessment of your product's components, ensuring their tensile durability under various load conditions. Drawing upon literature-defined pull forces, our methodology aligns with both impulse and sustained tensile loads to deliver an accurate evaluation of your product's performance.

    Our versatile assessment process can be tailored to your specific needs, whether you require repetitive testing or a simulation until component failure. This adaptability allows us to investigate the tensile durability of components under a wide range of use cases, providing you with valuable insights to optimize your product's design and safety.

    Choose our comprehensive bite and pull analysis to secure the highest quality and safety standards for your products, while confidently addressing the demands of your canine consumers.

  • Durability

    In the realm of pet companion products, durability is a crucial factor to consider. Recognizing that the foreseeable use and play modes for pet products can exhibit significant variation, it is essential to implement a comprehensive approach to durability assessment.

    Our advanced evaluation methodology encompasses a range of key durability aspects, including impact resistance, abrasion resistance, color fastness, construction, thermal resistance, and UV exposure. By prioritizing these factors, we ensure a thorough assessment of your pet product's overall performance and resilience.

    Partner with us to optimize your pet product design and assessment processes, ultimately delivering high-quality, durable products that cater to the diverse needs of your pet companions.

  • Scratch Resistance

    For specific product categories, such as fabrics or wearables, canine scratching behavior is a critical consideration, as repetitive scratching can lead to small part release, product degradation, and other modes of failure.

    At Engenium, we have developed a cutting-edge model to assess the robustness of your products against canine scratching. Our mechanical model, combined with our extensive knowledge of canine biomechanics and literature-supported worst-case scenarios for various product categories, enables us to provide a comprehensive evaluation of potential product damage.

    By collaborating with Engenium, you will benefit from our advanced testing model, ensuring that your products are designed to withstand the rigors of canine scratching behavior and maintain their integrity for optimal performance and longevity.

  • Airway Obstruction

    Choking injuries are a prevalent concern for canine consumers, with products ranging from rubber chew toys to collars exhibiting qualities and characteristics that may pose potential choking risks. A thorough evaluation of both design and material properties is imperative to mitigating airway obstruction hazards.

    Engenium brings years of experience in the physical investigation of product performance, safety, and design tailored for canines and other pet companions. Our team utilizes innovative mechanical assessment techniques, morphological data, and injury databases to create a solid foundation for understanding and addressing potential airway obstruction hazards.

  • Product Safety Review

    Engenium offers a thorough review of your current or concept product designs, providing invaluable feedback on potential hazards, design recommendations, foreseeable product usage, ease of use, quality, and performance concerns. Our comprehensive approach is not limited to early design stages but can be applied to later product iterations, both in virtual and physical forms.

    By engaging Engenium's services, you benefit from our extensive experience and expertise in identifying and addressing potential risks and design challenges.
