Qimmiq is an easy way to ensure the safety of your dog, pedestrians and cyclists.
Over the past few years, safety and visibility have become very important to people when enjoying the outdoors. This has led to increased demand for products that promote these things. Now you rarely see runners without reflective clothing or cyclists without lights and helmets.
At late evenings or at night, especially in rainy weather, a dog leash is almost impossible to see, even if the dogs and their owners are equipped with flashing lights. Because a retractable leash gives a dog the freedom to move around, it can be dangerous when runners and cyclists attempt to pass.
Qimmiq allows dogs to enjoy their freedom regardless of the weather or visibility conditions.
When walking with my dog, I was constantly dodging and making way for cyclists, and my friends did the same. Then one rainy autumn evening, we had a close call. While we were out, two cyclists approached us very quickly in both directions, but none of us could see each other until it was almost too late. Fortunately no one was hurt, but it left a lasting impression on my mind.
A few months later, while thinking about the incident, inspiration struck me. An illuminated dog leash! “Eureka!” I shouted. My dog looked at me like I had gone crazy. I told a colleague about it the next day and he loved the idea. We immediately started to plan the project. With that, our company was born, taking the retractable leash to the next level.
Wishing you safe and pleasant outdoor activities with your loved ones,
Qimmiq combines a familiar concept with brand new elements of safety and visibility.
Like a regular retractable leash but with a push of a button you can light up the whole leash
The battery can run up to 15 hours on a single charge. If you use the leash with light on for 1-2 hours a day, this is about 1-2 weeks with a single charge. You can easily and quickly recharge the battery using the supplied USB Type C cable and a compatible charger.
Qimmiq is designed for medium sized dogs, up to 25 kg.
We will be adding places of purchase once the product is available.
The light color is green. Green was chosen because human eye is most sensitive to green light. Later on, other light (and leash/handle) colors will be available.
