Introducing PETiCO's New Mobility Solutions for Pets: Travel with Ease and Comfort

PETiCO Launches Innovative Pet Mobility Products

In a significant development for pet owners, PETiCO, a brand under T&S Co., Ltd., has introduced two groundbreaking pet mobility products: the upgraded hard case carrier iCO+ and the versatile duffle-style bag NOA. This launch aims to revolutionize travel with pets, making it as enjoyable and effortless as possible.

The new products will be available starting April 2, 2026, from flagship stores and the official online store, as well as various specialty pet shops across the country. Moreover, these innovative items will be showcased at the Interpet Tokyo event held at Tokyo Big Sight from April 2 to April 5, 2026, allowing attendees to see the products firsthand at booth E039 in Hall 3.

As our understanding of pets’ role in families evolves, a recent survey conducted by T&S revealed that 64.3% of respondents view pets as family members. Among pet owners, this figure rises dramatically to 92.9%. Additionally, 66.5% expressed a desire to travel with their pets, yet nearly 49.1% reported challenges that hindered travel together, primarily due to concerns about inconveniencing others or difficulties in transportation.

Recognizing this gap, PETiCO has engineered solutions that enable smoother excursions for both humans and their furry companions. The company believes the issue lies not in the desire to travel with pets, but rather in societal infrastructure and design that falls short of accommodating these needs.

Transforming Urban Mobility with iCO+

The iCO+ is designed with city travel in mind, addressing concerns about overcrowding and safety while on the move. The response from pet owners indicates that 51.8% worry about safety during peak times, while 49.3% have concerns about potential conflicts with others.

This hard shell pet mobility carrier features enhanced safety mechanisms to ensure pets remain secure. The new MetroWalker™ wheels are larger with a suspension system, providing a smooth ride even in bustling environments. In addition, the exterior now includes a detachable magnetic plate that can be customized with various options like hooks and name tag holders, enhancing the functionality of the carrier.

Moreover, maintaining hygiene is essential; thus, the materials used are easy to clean, while the interior is designed to foster a clean and comfortable atmosphere for pets. Aesthetic updates include a refreshed color palette featuring Mist Green and White, alongside continued offerings of Sky Blue, Pink Beige, and Sand Gray.

Expanding Travel Opportunities with NOA

Alongside iCO+, PETiCO introduces NOA, a duffle-style bag tailored for hassle-free travel, particularly in situations where airline restrictions may apply. As pet owners aspire to create cherished travel memories with their pets, NOA represents a fusion of lightness and functionality. The design accommodates airline-compliant sizes, ensuring ease when traveling by air.

This bag features four mesh windows for ventilation and is equipped with privacy shields to enhance comfort and security for the pet inside. It can be utilized as a drive box during car trips and comes with a cleaning-friendly structure, allowing for easy maintenance over time. Additionally, the bag integrates a magnet plate system compatible with iCO+, offering versatile use based on travel preferences.

Available in three colors—Khaki, Beige, and Black—the NOA is offered in two sizes to suit different pet breeds. Prices start from 15,180 yen for the S size and 16,280 yen for the M size.

All these features are aimed at creating a collective travel experience where pets truly become part of the family adventure, aligning with PETiCO’s commitment to integrating pets into various aspects of life.

Conclusion

As mobility solutions for pets evolve, PETiCO stands at the forefront, ensuring that families can enjoy traveling together with their beloved companions without the stress of logistical challenges. These new mobility products target the everyday realities of pet ownership, paving the way for a society that values pets as integral family members. With innovative designs and a clear understanding of customer needs, PETiCO is set to redefine the experience of traveling with pets altogether.
