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**

Partners in Grime - The new additions, Part 2…

Posted: under Pet Features, Pup-Pee, Pup-Pee USA, The Pet Loo.
Tags: , , , , , , , , , June 15th, 2010

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!

Despite recession, we still indulge our pets…

Posted: under Pet Features.

Tribune senior correspondent

April 29, 2010 

"Pets have become the first child," says pet industry analyst R.J. Hottovy, explaining why even in tough economic times, spending on our animals continues to climb.

Instead of investing in a human baby (and his college education), we're getting started with dogs, cats, birds, fish.

Look around. That photo in your neighbor's cubicle. It's her Chihuahua — wearing sunglasses. You know who I'm talking about.

"It's the trend of humanizing pets," says Morningstar's Hottovy. It's one reason we're spending more on our animals — even in a recession.

 "People are cutting back in other areas to make sure they can still take care of Fluffy and Spike," explains Bob Vetere, president of the American Pet Products Association. And he's not just talking about the basics, like food and rabies shots.

Last year was awful for virtually every retail segment of the economy. But APPA figures show pet spending in 2009 grew 5.4 percent — to $45.5 billion — even as the rest of the retail world was cratering. Sure the lousy economy might have slowed the growth of pet spending. But the arrow is still pointing up.

In fact, the recession might be a blessing for people who make their living from pets. The worse we feel, the more we cherish (and spend on) our animals.

"People are really looking to their pets for comfort," says Vetere. "It's the one place you can turn to for unconditional love."

No matter how lousy your day, they're happy when you walk in the door. "They'll lick your face!" says Vetere. And, in return for a little tail wagging and doggy slobber, "we reward them not in animal terms but human terms."

In other words, we buy them stuff, like the items arrayed here.

These range from the luxurious to the hilarious. There are real wood nonskid steps to help your dog jump on the couch or the bed ($220, petsstop.com) and home-baked PupCakes for treat time ($9.95, luckypawsonline.com).

Tony Deitch, who makes pet beds that resemble Crocs shoes, says, "It's a very inexpensive way to make a feel-good purchase when there's so much going wrong in the world."

OK, maybe a new place for your pet to nap won't bring world peace, but Deitch says he has solved the problems of most dog beds that get "ratty, hairy and smelly."

Michele Levan, creator of the $12 rubber ball that makes your dog look as if he's wearing a cartoon mustache, says her sales are soaring.

"I think people could use a good laugh right now. My stuff is a really inexpensive, funny thing to give you some relief from your economic blues."

Vetere says empty nesters, too, are contributing to the pet-spending trend. Their kids are grown and gone, and "they're looking for something new to hover over, so they're turning to pets in a big way."

For his part, Vetere has resisted major spending on pet toys and gimmicks for his golden retriever, Dakota, who "just loves to fetch." For that, Dakota settles for old tennis balls

The Zeke Chronicles, Day 21….

Posted: under The Pet Loo.
Tags: , , , , , , , May 19th, 2010

After three weeks of being on the hair-raising rollercoaster of toilet training a puppy, we can proudly say that at last we have a Pet Loo dog!

Zeke uses his Pet Loo Original every time he needs to go - we had to upgrade from the Mini Wee when he started to fall off the Mini mid-wee! He no longer has accidents, in fact, if he can’t get to his Loo he even lets us know with a little bark. Such a gentleman.

We had our good days and our very messy days, but in the end it was persistence, consistency and positive rewards that did the job!

Zeke has settled into office life amazingly well and, to be frank, we just adore having him here!

Everyone looks forward to work when it means seeing his cheeky face waiting for you at the front door!

If you need some extra help with your puppy, why not check out some of our videos?

The world’s biggest marketplace for pet experts

Over 1,450 exhibitors from more than 50 countries and a record gross display area of some 90,000 square metres make Interzoo the biggest and most important marketplace for the global pet supplies trade. 

The world’s leading exhibition for the pet industry offers the professional audience a comprehensive overview of the global market on a gross display area of more than 90,000 square metres.

Klaus Oechsner, President of the German Pet Trade & Industry Association (ZZF), the honorary sponsor of the exhibition, rates the great interest in Interzoo 2010 as an indication of a stable pet supplies market: “Living together with pets is still a source of great pleasure to people all over the world and in many countries pets are just being discovered as members of the family. The pet supplies market therefore has good growth prospects and Interzoo offers the ideal setting for launching new ideas.”[1]

And launching new ideas is exactly what Pup-Pee intends to do at Interzoo!

Introducing Pee-Pods - The New Kid on the Block!

Pee-Pods have been developed along with Wee Sponge to create a new and unrivalled moisture and odour absorber.

And what does every pup needs when they are first brought home… Skip to my Loo!

A unique attractant that helps you to toilet train your best friend!

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.

Pup-Pee hope to see you at this year’s Interzoo!

Look out apartment dwellers, The Pet Loo is here…

Posted: under The Pet Loo, WEE Care.
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , April 27th, 2010

With cities becoming more attractive to the human population, we are trading our spacious yards for a small grass-less patio. As we move into the city, our dogs are following closely behind. We can't give up our companions for the city even if it means we need to walk them down fourteen flights of stairs to take them on walks and trips to well used sections of grass to go. However, no one can argue that potty trips can become really tedious in the rain, winter months, or in the middle of the night for the fifth time, and Peninsula Pet Supplies has you covered!

A hot product in the pet industry is the dog toilet. Just as cats have their litter boxes, a dog can be trained to an artificial section of grass. We feature The Pet Loo, because it represents the highest quality of all dog toilets.

The Pet Loo is definitely large enough to accommodate the size of any dog to eliminate comfortably and can support 300kg of weight. The Pet Loo is also small enough to be put outside on a patio, in an office, or laundry room. The top is lined in artificial grass, and is resistant to the acidity of urine, which attributes to the smell of urine. The Pet Loo is hygienic and can be cleaned easily.

Read some reviews of the Pet Loo:

I was always interested in The Pet Loo, right from the moment I first laid eyes on it. The idea of no longer having to sacrifice my sleep, social life or job, as I had to be home to let my 'best friend' do their business, was a blessing. I don't know why I didn't get my hands on one of these before!

My dogs love using The Pet Loo now even though they were used to using washable piddle pads. I just got tired of always washing them and with 5 Havanese (I have the original size Pet Loo), that got to be a bit much! Even the puppies use it as soon as they are able to climb up onto it. My dogs use doggy doors to go outside, but sometimes I don't want them to go out there when the grass is wet or covered with snow, so I have The Pet Loo on my covered deck off of my kitchen.

I love this product. When we got our puppy, we decided to indoor train him for our convenience more than his! First we tried the puppy litter box products from recycled newspaper, which was a disaster. Then we used training pads…they worked really well, but it was rather nasty to look at yellow-stained pads in the house (we changed them often, but this little guy just saw that as a challenge!). Finally, we bought The Pet Loo and things turned around. It only took our little dachshund about 5 days to fully transition from potty pads to The Pet Loo. It's a great product, but you do have to commit to the maintenance.

The Zeke Chronicles… Day 7

Posted: under Pet Features, Pup-Pee, The Pet Loo.
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , April 16th, 2010

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!

The Zeke Chronicles… Day 1

Posted: under The Pet Loo.
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , April 2nd, 2010

It’s the most exciting day we’ve had in the office this year! Not only did very little work get done in the morning, as we all laughed and giggled at what a delight little Zeke was, and how quiet he was for a pup, but so did everyone else in the surrounding offices. It seemed anyone that could make an excuse to knock on our door, did!

And Zeke was the perfect little angel through all the pats and cuddles from so many new faces. All he had to do was bat his ginger eyelashes to get every adult in the room talking in that funny, high-pitched voice normally used on small children; “Who’s a gorgeous little boy? You are Zeke, you are!”

No one was more excited when we pulled The Mini Wee Pet Loo out of the box than Zeke – though he was more interested in rolling on the grass, than using it as a toilet. But hey, that’s all part of the training right?

We armed ourselves with paper towel, Liquid Ate (Stain eliminator) and Whiff Off (odour eliminator) ready for the onslaught of pee! How disappointed we were – there was no need for our preparations at all! Within minutes of being in the office Zeke had already done a number two’s on the Mini Wee and under the watchful eye of his many new office parents, had been spotted in the squat position and swiftly picked up and placed on the Mini Wee before a single drip fell onto the carpet.

Pup-Pee Team: 2

Puppy: 0

Though by mid-morning he was passed out in that position favoured by most dogs; flat on his back, spread eagled, snoring that cute little puppy snore (you know the one, it gets louder and less cute the bigger they grow!).

When he finally woke up in the afternoon we had a ‘number one’ accident followed shortly by a ‘number one’ jackpot! A direct pee on the Mini Wee, though this was a pick up by an office parent rather than Zeke making the effort himself.

We placed him on the Mini Wee after his accident to help him associate the Loo with toileting and he was given a treat after his ‘jackpot’ pee! You can never praise young pups enough when they do the right thing – it will only encourage them to continue with that particular behavior in future.

All in all, we left the office unscathed and feeling rather happy about ourselves. Every dog, just like every toddler, takes toilet training at their own pace and it seemed that Zeke was making this a lot easier on us then we could have ever hoped for!

Global Pet Expo…

Posted: under Pet Features, Pup-Pee, Pup-Pee USA, The Pet Loo.
Tags: , , , , , , , , , February 4th, 2010

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
