The inventors and owners of The Pet Loo have certainly marked their territory in the Pet Industry as leaders in Pet Waste Management.   Who would have guessed that a business created in a small apartment in Melbourne Australia would be a hit with the Global Pet Industry and their human friends in Hollywood?

It all began very early this decade when Tobi Skovron and wife Simone found themselves in a wee-bit of a situation when they were forced into apartment-style living with their dog, Subii, in Melbourne.  
  
With no backyard and a dog with toilet training issues, a solution was needed to bring the garden indoors.  And so their hero product, The Pet Loo, was born – an environmentally friendly waste system for Pets that’s ideal for…you guessed it, apartment living.

From a business concept scribbled on the back of a napkin to a product that is now successfully sold in 74 countries it seems that one doggy-door has opened after another.

In 2006 (after 3 yrs or R&D), the couple showcased their invention on ABC’s reality television show ‘The New Inventors’ to see if they had a winner on their hands. The live audience concluded that they did, and they won.   Four years down the track with an Australian Pet Product of the Year award, almost 30 employees, 35 distributors and up to 250 sales staff worldwide, the owners of Pup-pee Solutions moved to LA to try their luck in the American market.

Within a year of moving to the US, their products are already flying out the door at an incredible speed.  Some of the largest retail outlets, online dealers and catalogues, such as Petco and Drs. Foster & Smith, simply can’t keep them in stock long enough. Although their goal is set at being the number one Pet waste management company in the world, they are definitely not barking up the wrong tree.
