Milano enters petcare arena with ‘Petshouse' launch
Milano by Danube, a market leader in bath and home solutions, has officially entered the petcare industry with the launch of its new lifestyle line, Milano Petshouse. The brand unveiled its smart, design-forward range of pet products, marking a significant expansion into the booming pet lifestyle market. The Petshouse collection, tailored for modern cats and dogs, features everything from sleek grooming kits and travel carriers to smart feeders and hygiene products. At the heart of the line is an app-enabled Smart Litter Box, capable of self-cleaning, controlling odours, and syncing real-time usage updates, offering a tech-savvy solution for the UAE's growing community of indoor pet owners. Other high-tech offerings include Wi-Fi smart feeders, which allow remote, portion-controlled feeding with live notifications, and stylish water fountains in multiple sizes that mimic running water to encourage better hydration for pets. In a gesture reflecting the brand's commitment to community welfare, Milano launched Petshouse with a CSR initiative at the RAK Welfare Centre for Animals, which shelters over 1,400 rescued pets. Milano director Sahil Sajan personally visited the centre, donating a variety of Petshouse products and engaging with the animals and staff. "Milano Petshouse isn't just a product launch — it's about changing how pets live in our homes," said Sajan. "With pet parenting on the rise across urban UAE, we wanted to create a range that marries innovation, convenience, and compassion." The launch comes at a time when the UAE's petcare industry is experiencing rapid growth —fueled by a sharp rise in pet ownership, alongside trends such as pet humanisation, increased spending on premium pet products, and the growing popularity of pet tech. As veterinary services and the accessory market expand across the region, Milano's smart, design-forward offerings are well positioned to meet the evolving needs of the UAE's modern pet parents. The Milano Petshouse range is now available at all Danube Home showrooms and online.

As virus season surges, experts urge households to prioritise safe drinking water
With rising temperatures and a new wave of viral infections gripping the region, health experts and wellness advocates are urging residents to take a closer look at what may be the most overlooked factor in safeguarding their families: the quality of their drinking water. Doctors across the UAE are reporting a seasonal uptick in cases of flu, stomach infections, and viral fevers, and many of them linked not just to airborne transmission, but to contaminants in untreated or improperly stored water. "Clean water is not a luxury; it is a non-negotiable necessity, especially in the face of rising environmental and health challenges," said Sahil Sajan, director of Milano by Danube, one of the UAE's leading home solutions brands. "With viruses becoming more unpredictable and persistent, we cannot afford to compromise on the quality of what we put into our bodies every single day." Water: The first line of defense While public focus often turns to masks, supplements, and sanitizers during viral outbreaks, experts say immunity starts with proper hydration and more importantly, with purified water. Contaminated water can carry not only viruses, but also bacteria, heavy metals, and microplastics, all of which weaken the immune system over time. According to recent data, many households in the UAE still rely on large, bottled water gallons. But concerns are mounting about their hygiene standards, storage practices, and the physical strain of handling them especially for elderly or unwell individuals. Most people don't realise that even bottled water can carry risks. And when the weather gets hotter, those risks multiply. Milano: A smarter, safer solution Milano's advanced range of water purifiers, including RO+UV and UF+UV models are designed with virus-season in mind. Their multi-stage filtration systems eliminate harmful pathogens, while preserving essential minerals, offering families an uninterrupted supply of clean, safe water. What's more, the cost-saving benefits are significant. A typical household using 16 gallon bottles a month at Dh10 each is spending nearly Dh2,000 annually. Milano's purifiers start at Dh799 — a one-time investment that pays off in both health and savings. Milano's systems feature: A critical choice in a critical season As the summer heats up and virus cases rise, the urgency for clean water is no longer a distant concern. It is immediate, personal, and preventable. 'We take every precaution when it comes to our kids--masks, vitamins, vaccinations, doctor visits," said Sajan. "But we forget that the water they drink, cook with can either strengthen or sabotage their immunity." Don't wait until it's too late This virus season, clean water isn't just a wellness trend but it's a public health imperative. Experts recommend installing a certified water purification system before the next infection hits closer to home. Because when it comes to your family's health, every drop counts.
