So you’ve made the decision to buy yourself a portable pet toilet. Congratulations! You’re one step closer to a more convenient pet lifestyle.

You’ve jumped online for a bit of research, maybe you’ve listened to your friends talking about them over coffee, or perhaps you’ve even seen them advertised on TV. Yet, it’s not until you finally get to your local pet retailer that you find yourself staring at two or three similar products. Which one do you choose?

There are some key factors for you to consider that will help you to decide what is the right product for you and your pet. The Pet Loo is an original and unique creation, but as we have seen with popular inventions in the past, once a well planned idea is launched to the public it is only a matter of time until another person or company tries to use the idea as their own.

While you may see variations of Loo’s in the market, you can rest assured that there is only one Pet Loo!

Accept no imitations! The Pet Loo has many well planned design features that other competing pet toilets do not offer:

·       Different sized Loo’s for different sized pets. Not all dogs are the same size, so why should a Great Dane cower on a small square of synthetic grass? Or if you live in compact apartment why should your balcony be taken up by a park sized- pet toilet when your dog is only a miniature breed? Our Pet Loo range covers three sizes, which cater for not only toy to large breeds of dog, but also for cats and furry critters.

·       The patented corrugated tray. The corrugations, or ridges, in the plastic tray aid gravity in draining urine away from the synthetic grass. The tray has also been produced using UV resistant plastics allowing Pet owners the option to use their Loo indoors or out.

·       The catchment jug. The position and size of the catchment jug has been created for easy removal and emptying without having to move or lift the entire unit. This avoids any accidental spillages and makes The Pet Loo one of the easiest to clean pet toilets on the market.

Be wary of cost. Price is not always a clear indicator of quality, nor should it be something to shy away from. After all, the cost of disposable puppy-pads, or other temporary absorbent mats, can cost thousands of dollars over the lifetime of a dog. The Pet Loo was designed to be as strong as possible so it could outlast the dog using it, and while it is not claimed to be unbreakable, the money saved from a one-off purchase far out-weighs the initial cost.

So before you hit the shops why don’t you click on our website, watch our videos and read our reviews. This way you won’t have to accept the imitations because you will know that The Pet Loo is best Loo for the job!

**The Pet Loo is a Globally Patented Product**

Tobi Skovron, CEO of Pup-Pee Solutions, has a brief chat about the two new additions to the company’s ever-growing pet waste management product lines.

How long has it taken to get these two new lines to reach the shelves (from brainstorm to creation)?

Pee-Pods have been in the works for over twelve months. We were trying to bring the right product to that market and had so many varying options. We trialed each of these options and the only one that really made sense is what you can see today:

Click here to see what Pee-Pods are all about!

Where did the idea of Pee-Pods and Wee Sponge come from?

There were a couple of factors that bought us to launching Pee-Pods but it all boils down to Pup-Pee’s desire to be revolutionary in the industry. Engrained in Pup-Pee’s DNA is the ability to deliver innovative, first class products of need.

Pee-Pods fit neatly inside our value and proposition system - to make life easier for pet owners and give them more time to enjoy the benefits of animal companionship.

When we first introduced The Pet Loo to the global pet industry we revolutionised the way in which pets toilet. The introduction of Pee-Pods is enhancing that experience and changing the game again.
What’s more, Pee-Pods retain the benefit of being safe for people, pets and the planet – something we feel passionate about.

How does Skip to My Loo differ from other training aids on the market?

Skip to My Loo is a synthetic urine that works by mimicking animal urine, as opposed to attractants currently on the market, which can contain harmful ammonia or extracts of smelly animal faeces. When applied to a surface (not only The Pet Loo), Skip to My Loo will result in the dog/cat marking over it with their own scent.

Skip’s formula is first class and unmatched!

“Skip To My Loo… My Darling” was a nursery rhyme I used to sing as a kid. The synergy between that rhyme and our Pet Loo is incredible. So when it came to creating a formulation, the synergy needed to be as strong.

In what way will these new lines will push your company further into the title of ‘Number 1 Pet Waste Management Group’?

When we first launched, we were The Pet Loo Company – a one hit wonder. What we have done with that success as a company is identified unique and specalised areas to roll out into.

We are not interested in being a “me too” we want to set the benchmark on everything we do and maintain our innovative flair. In simple we are heading towards being recognised as the number one pet waste management company in the world. The Pup-Pee team is passionate, strategic and innovative with what we do - That passion cannot be replicated!

The new additions, Part 1

Pup-Pee Solutions are committed to developing innovative pet waste management products and the introduction of their latest developments, the Pee-Pod and Skip to My Loo, is a true example of that.

Pee-Pods have been developed to trap airborne odours contained in pet waste. The innovative Pod fits neatly inside the catchment jug of your Pet Loo. Liquid waste, on contact with the Pee-Pod and the WEE Sponge additive, turns instantly into a gel - this rapid absorption makes for easy disposal. The result significantly reduces airborne odours, furthering the performance of your Pet’s Loo.

A TRUE REVOLUTION!

Pee-Pods have been scientifically formulated using patented technology to blend nature and science – creating a product that uses natural materials to give supernatural results! With the Wee Sponge in a Pee-Pod, The Pet Loo’s catchment jug is able to hold at least 100 times its own weight in liquid and trap odours in a way like no other. Pee-Pods are completely safe to humans & pets and have been engineered using biodegradable materials; further reducing the carbon footprint of pet waste. With a lifespan of up to 3 days per Pee-Pod, once full, throw the whole Pod in the trash and simply replace with a fresh one!

And to create a full Pet Loo and waste management package, this month we have also released Skip to My Loo - a unique attractant that works as a toileting training aid!

The scent has been designed to attract and encourage your dog, puppy or kitten to relieve itself in an area designated by you. It makes a perfect companion for The Pet Loo and can be used indoors or out. Skip to my Loo is not a smelly extract of animal faeces; instead it is a scientifically formulated solution that mimics animal urine to attract your puppy or kitten.

These two new and innovative products can be purchased from your local Pet Loo stockist today!

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.

Pup-Pee Team: 42

Puppy: 27

Bottles of Liquid Ate: 1 (Yes, we finally finished one!)

Alright! Who took our angel puppy and replaced him with the devil dog? Can we have our cute, quiet little Zeke back please and not this terrorizing, biting, yapping creature! What a difference one week can make in the life of a puppy!

Zeke has finally discovered his voice and has been intent on using it whenever the phone rings, when we want to hold a meeting or when someone leaves the confines of the inner office. And it’s absolutely ear splitting! The neighboring offices must think we’ve hired Cruella de Vil and she’s torturing a room full of puppies!

Not to mention that anything within a foot from the ground now has teeth marks in it!

Zeke has also decided over the last few days, that even though he’s quite capable of using his Pet Loo, that he’d rather pee beside it, pee on his bed or pee behind our chairs. He enjoys playing with the paper towel when we clean up after him so much, that he will sometimes pee next to a fresh pee just so that more paper towel can be used.

It was time for the Office parents to put a foot down. Zeke’s movement around the office was cut off completely. He was reduced to a small area of linoleum in which he can play (lino is much easier to mop up than carpet) at all other times he was put on his leash and kept within the office.

By having Zeke on his leash, it made it much easier to keep him on The Pet Loo when it was time to do his business.

When he toilets successfully on his Loo, we reward him with a treat or playful pat. It’s far more effective to praise the heck out of your pup when they do the right thing, then it is to yell or punish them when they do the wrong thing.

That being said, after a few days of being on his leash Zeke began behaving well enough to be let off for a few hours every day. His toilet training was finally bounding (and weeing) in the right direction! He would run and play and yelp and bite, but whenever he felt the urge to go, he would dash up onto his Loo and ‘go wees’ without the assistance (or persistence) of an office parent!

Pup-Pee Team: 13

Puppy: 19

Bottles of Liquid Ate: 3/4

A whole week into toilet training and I can honestly say we’ve dealt with everything that can possibly come out of a puppy! And if there is one upside to all the accidents, it’s that Zeke couldn’t have chosen a better workplace to have them – everything we need to clean up after him is under the one roof. Liquid Ate has come in handy on many occasions this week already. It really is the best stain and odour eliminator on the market, as the office looks and smells as clean as the day Zeke pitter-patted in.

What an excellent day it has been - the distinctive slap of hand-to-hand contact echoed across Collingwood today, as high fives reigned supreme in Pup-Pee Head Office! 

He did it, he did it all on his own!

After a particularly crazy play session, the office parents gathered around to watch Zeke confidently make his way to The Pet Loo, bounce up all by himself and wee directly on the centre of the grass! We were like teenagers at a Jonas Brothers concert, there was jumping and dancing and hysterics, and of course high fives, all round! 

But sure enough, in the thrill of all the jumping and high fiving, Zeke’s own excitement got the better of him and he piddled right at our feet, on the carpet. It was a short trip back to reality for the team, as the celebratory champagne was put back in the fridge. But after only seven days of toilet boot camp, we realised that we were jumping the gun a little bit. Toilet training graduation was still a while off and we needed to continue being as patient and as vigilant with Zeke as possible.

But at least we know that he’s on the way - peeing by himself on the Loo was one giant wee for puppy-kind!

Pup-Pee Team: 5

Puppy: 11

Bottles of Liquid Ate: 1/2

It seemed that a nine week old puppy was getting the better of us after only four days in. As a team we knew that we had started off well - we had practically grown eyes in the backs of our heads - but it didn’t take long for Zeke’s confidence to grow and along with it his curiosity.

As he ventured into new rooms around the office and warehouse, it seemed no space was too small for him to squeeze into. Try as we might to keep an eye on him on each of his little adventures, office life had to continue and so our watchful eyes grew blinkers.

It was two days in that we noticed the first ‘ninja poo’. It appeared that Zeke could move between rooms with such stealth, that his accidents came out of thin air.

We knew that training a puppy to use The Pet Loo would take longer, as he didn’t just have to get used to where he was supposed to toilet, but also to learn his own bladder and bowel movements. The trick at this time was to catch him at the right moment.

We were putting him on the Loo after meals, after play sessions and after sleeps, and although this helped us with several successful ‘toilets’ there were still those ninja poos to deal with.

We decided our best option was to restrain him to one room of the office with his Pet Loo inside and an office parent watching over him with eagle eyes. The slightest crouch or squat meant that he was swooped up and put on the Loo faster than he could blink. Success! Not a single ninja poo or wet spot on the carpet for the rest of the day.

Containing a puppy to one area (sometimes referred to as crate training) doesn’t just prevent ninja poos but also stops puppies from ruling the roost. They need to know their limitations (and yours too!).

By restricting his access to rooms around the office Zeke will learn that there is a time for play, a time for rest and time for work.
