About 71 million U.S. households have at least one of these little rascals, running about the backyard, snuggling under the covers or begging for attention. They're not children, but pets. Sometimes lovingly referred to as "part of the family," these creatures are what draw thousands of business people to Global Pet Expo. With most expos and shows, it’s about the buyer coming to, well, buy.[1]

The Global Pet Expo is the pet industry's largest annual trade show.

It is presented by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) and Pet Industry Distributors Association (PIDA). The 2009 Show featured 779 exhibitors, 2,306 booths and more than 3,000 new product launches. 41,000 pet product buyers from around the world attended.

In 2010, Global Pet Expo will take place March 25-27 in Orlando, FL. Global Pet Expo is open to independent retailers, distributors, mass-market buyers, and other qualified professionals. (The show is not open to the public.)[2]

From canine prescription lenses, dog car seats and hi-tech water bowls to microprocessor-controlled smart aquariums, DVDs for cats and cookbooks for birds, the products unveiled at Global Pet Expos over the years demonstrate the innovative thinking and entrepreneurial spirit of pet product manufacturers.[3]

2010 will mark the second year that The Pet Loo team has exhibited at Global Pet Expo. So come along and see us in booth #621

Our offerings to both our distribution and retail partners have been exceptional. This has solidified our position in the global pet industry as the number 1 pet waste management company in the worldSkovron says confidently.

In just four years the company has exploded, and now is enjoying success in 73 countries and earning a devoted following from those who otherwise could not own a dog.

Walking On A Dream…

In April 2009, Pup-Pee Solutions decided to take a look back in time launches and bottle what they have done over the last few years. The result - a candid interview with The Pet Loo Creators Simone and Tobi Skovron.  

In the video, Skovron talks openly about Pup-Pee’s success so far. “Pup-Pee Solutions has distributed its products in excess of over 73 countries around the world. Not bad when you consider we only became commercial in 2006. In Australia we distribute the products ourselves. In the United States we have a New York office in New York City and Los Angeles, California on the West Coast.”

Our Board of Directors is comprised of patent attorneys,  licensing attorneys, trademark attorneys, international accountants, engineers, biochemists and some really business savvy people”. 

Skovron then goes on to talk about The Pet Loo’s conception. “Entering the International Pet Industry I recognise that there’s a need for young, innovative and fresh ideas and I think that’s why we’ve been so successful.”

Pup-Pee Solutions went commercial in 2006, but it was three years before that we really worked hard on the research and development (stages). I had moved a thousand kilometers south from Sydney to Melbourne - my lifestyle and circumstances changed which really required a product such as The Pet Loo.” 

 

“The reason Pup-Pee Solutions took three years to come to market was because we wanted to ensure our product was a premium product, second to none. On top of that our board of Directors wanted to ensure all of our intellectual property rights were protected.” 

 

Pup-Pee Solutions has really made a name for itself worldwide for its hero brand The Pet Loo, and what we’re doing right now is extending our range so we become more of a (pet) waste management company.”

Pup-Pee Team Questionnaire

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , March 10th, 2009

With Jessica Bruns, Head of Sales in Victoria Australia  

Jess, you meet with pet retailers every day. What sort of response does The Pet Loo, and all other products in Pup-Pee Solutions range, get in the Australian market? 

Pup-Pee solutions are a well known and trusted supplier. The majority of pet retailers in Victoria are aware of the benefits of The Pet Loo and associated products; however there are always extra advantages and benefits to point out.

I am in a unique position where I receive feedback from retailers (many of whom own the Pet Loo themselves) and a wide range of ‘end users’ such as breeders, elderly owners (and owners of elderly pets!) apartment dwellers, owners with large yards as well as everyday pet owners.

To me this just goes to show that The Pet Loo is a solution for a wide range of owners, not just those in apartments. 

As for the enzyme technology, I am constantly amazed by the feedback and the sales figures of all products in the range. Both indicate to me that these products are being chosen by our end users as they know they are effective and safe for their whole family.

The reason our end users are making such wise choices is mainly to do with our retailers and the belief they have in the products, as most of our retailers have tried the products for themselves and have seen the results. 

What do you believe the Australian market is ‘crying out’ for?

Pet ownership figures in Australia show that over 80% of households have at least one pet. This indicates to me a greater need to facilitate pet ownership across all lifestyles. This means providing products that make pet ownership easier and more practical for all Australians.  

Innovative products are always in demand as lifestyles change. This is the beauty of our products, and our company. We are facilitating pet ownership for all across Australia and the world

What do you like best about the product range?

I couldn’t say if I have a ‘favorite’ product, the thing I like best about our product range is the originality of our products. It is refreshing to go into the marketplace and offer something new and innovative to consumers, not only in Australia but around the world.

How do you find working with Tobi and Nathan? 

 

Tobi and Nathan couldn’t really be more different in their approach to our business; however together they are a formidable team with a wealth of knowledge and information.

 

Nathan’s experience in the pet industry arms us with extensive sales and marketing strategies, as well as constant encouragement and advice.

 

Tobi brings the flair and passion to the business, he is the one who inspires us all with his hard work and dedication and his superior business knowledge. 

 

What is it that you love most about your position within Pup-Pee Solutions? 

 

I have the opportunity to deal with some of the best pet stores Australia wide and of course the common element between all stores is great staff. There are some very competent business owners and managers in our pet industry, as well as some of the best retail workers. Of course my passion for animals will always be the driving force behind my career, so I couldn’t work for a better, more pet friendly company

 

How would you like to see Pup-Pee Solutions to grow in the Australian market?

 

I believe Pup-Pee solutions will be fundamental in the growth of the pet industry in Australia.I think in the future we will be introducing more new ideas and products to the market and I expect us to remain a leader in the pet industry, focusing on pet waste management and other essentials of pet ownership

I will be very pleased to be part of the Pup-Pee team in the years to come, and look forward to the development and release of new products.

Green Products Dominate Global Pet Expo - By Kris O’Donnell ZOOTOO TV

Posted: under The Pet Loo.

Green products dominate Global Pet Expo: the industry's largest annual trade show brought out a slew of green products which will be hitting the shelves of pet retailers throughout the country in 2009 — but don't wait until then, get a sneak peak now.

Click Here Watch ZooToo TV 

ORLANDO — From dogs to rabbits and lizards to ferrets, there was something for every pet at the 2009 Global Pet Expo, an annual pet industry showcase event held in Orlando.

The industry's largest annual trade show, the Expo featured thousands of products from more than 800 companies, which displayed everything from unique pet beds to comfy e-collars on Valentine's Day weekend.

Zootoo had an all-access pass to this industry-only event, which was closed to the public. Read on to learn about the innovative products that will hit the shelves in 2009.

For many of the new products featured this year, green was the theme; organic, all natural, and earth-friendly.

"Because it's made from recyclable material, there are no toxins in it, there are no chemicals, there are no odors," said Melissa Rogers of Energetic Solutions Inc., which offers businesses private consultation.

Energetic Solutions is now looking toward green products as the future of many industries, including those that cater to pets.

Rogers spoke of Shoo!Tags, which she says protect animals from fleas, ticks and mosquitoes with electromagnetic frequencies.

Rogers says the tiny tags have a magnetized, non-toxic strip that wards off pests for up to four months, according to Shootag.com.

"It doesn't hurt the flea, it doesn't hurt the pet and it doesn't hurt the planet," Rogers said.

Exercise machines are also going green. GoPet machines require no electricity, come in all sizes and are a plausible alternative for both pets and owners who may not have time for long walks.

"The number one advantage is that it's dog powered," GoPet representative Earl Kauffman said. "They run as far, as fast and as long as they choose. If they're tired, they sit down."

For pet lovers who may have small yards, live in an apartment or 16-story high-rise, there's the Pet Loo.

We've created that outdoor surface and we've brought it into a contained area, which has a self drainage system underneath," Pet Loo inventor Tobi Skovron said of the "backyard in a box."

Skovron says dogs or cats can be easily trained to use the Pet Loo, which resembles a square of elevated grass. He also says it's perfect for pet lovers who live in small spaces.

"Because it's so light and movable, you can bring it indoors, outdoors," Skovron said. "You can take it on your boat. You can keep it on the balcony in your condo. It basically breaks down that barrier to pet ownership."

Many other new products came in the form of eco-friendly toys and all natural grooming options.

New varieties of organic food and treats were also introduced, as well as homeopathic herbs, which are advertised to treat everything from inflammation to digestive problems.

"People would come to us as a last resort but now people are coming as a first option," said Hilary Self of Hilton Herbs, a UK manufacturer and supplier of herbal health supplements for animals. "They care for their animals like they care for their children and they want to help them so it's certainly really growing."

Finally, while they may not be 100 percent organic, special dog towels, called Towel Togs, will conserve the time and energy it takes to wrestle with a wet dog. The one-piece suit, made of an absorbent microfiber, slips on over a dog's head and resembles a simple winter coat.

Inventor Inge Bonfoey came up with the idea after her dog, Bailey, was constantly in and out of their lake.

"They don't like that feeling, being wet," Bonfoey said. "So they like this. They love these. It feels good on them."

"The beauty of it is it's anchored at both the neck and the tail so that when they're romping around it stays in place."

All the products are available online and will soon be showing up in retail outlets across the nation.
