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 eco-friendly Pet Loo – no grass needed!

Author: Debra Atlas

Pet owners know what it’s like to be working late and suddenly remember the dog hasn’t been outside for 8 or more hours. If you can’t leave work yet, you face the prospect of coming home to a real doggie “mess”!

A product developed in Australia – The Pet Loo – is the answer busy pet owners have been looking for. Called the “Backyard in a Box”, The Pet Loo is high quality synthetic grass that’s resistant to the smell and acidity of pet urine. Launched in 2006 by Tobi Skovron, founder of Pup-Pee Solutions, USA, LLC, and his wife Simone, this indoor dog potty – perfect for urban apartment dwellers - lets dogs relieve themselves when owners aren’t around. And they leave no smelly mess to clean up later!

With the development of The Pet Loo, Skovron says the company followed three key guidelines:

• Be environmentally friendly 
• Be biodegradable 
• Be chemical free

Designed for dogs or cats, The Pet Loo’s base is slightly angled to work with gravity. It’s been reinforced to support an animal’s weight and is shaped to funnel the urine towards the collection jug. Pet waste can be easily removed and poured down the toilet with no spilling. Skovron says it’s been tested to hold up to 660 pounds of weight, making it good for overweight or large dogs and multiple pets.

Cleaning The Pet Loo’s a snap. Simply remove the base and clean, then remove the grass to let dry. Among Skovron’s company’s many pet products, they recommend cleaning The Pet Loo with their WEE Care.

When you remove its grass, wipe down the base down with WEE Care and warm water. Domestic cleaners will sanitize the Pet Loo but will discourage pets from going back to that spot, acting as a pet deterrent. “That defeats the purpose,” says Skovron.

Skovron believes his product helps break down barriers to pet ownership. “People shy away from pet ownership,” says Skovron, “based on (its) practicability – they can’t afford a back yard.” Having a Pet Loo makes it that much easier for people to be responsible pet owners.

This award-winning product comes in several sizes, including for larger dogs and one for cats, rabbits or guinea pigs. The most common size is 33” x 33. Try putting two or more mats together for your own private “doggie park”. “We’re all about the pets,” Skovron says.

For convenience, use The Pet Loo on balconies, patios or indoors. This product is durable if maintained. Bring it indoors when there’s bad weather or it rains. The company says it will last 10 to 20 years. Skovron says “(the black) Pet Loo will (probably) outlive a pet.”

He suggests keeping replacement grass around, but says replace it only if you feel it’s necessary. You might use it while cleaning and drying the original. The Pet Loo is available in pet stores in the U.S. and online at Amazon, SmartHome.com and www.thepetloo.com.

Prices range from $199.00 for smaller dogs to $239.00 for the larger size.

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 Solutions ongoing mission to produce products that are

safe for people, pets and the planet!

At Pup-Pee Solutions we pride ourselves at being the best at what we do. Our Loo patrons and their owners communicate with us daily, telling us how much of a positive impact The Pet Loo has had in their lives. It’s for this reason that we have sold in excess of 60,000 Pet Loo’s in over 73 countries around the globe.

Our success and reputation formed from a foundation team comprising two in-house Engineers and a Biochemist, who combined, have decades of experience in their chosen fields. In addition to experience pet industry experts, pet behaviorists, and pet care professionals 

Through this foundation team The Pet Loo was designed and re-worked for three years before its first production to ensure that the most effective and efficient product could be obtained…. the evolution of The Pet Loo is a constant journey. 

Our Engineers and Biochemist are constantly looking at new products to complement The Pet Loo and investigate customer enquiries and suggestions to see if they can work for our product range. One of the issues during the conception of The Pet Loo was the decision of which base materials were going to be the best for our products.

The public are only too aware that some plastics are toxic, emitting carcinogenic chemicals as they break down. We’re proud to say that at Pup-Pee Solutions the plastic we use is not. It is a new generation plastic, created for this very reason. It’s incredibly tough, is resistant to the acidity of urine and will not harm the people or pets that come into contact with it.

Pup-Pee’s philosophy of being ‘Safe for people, pets and planet’ is one we hold in high regard. Even our range of cleaning solutions are chemical free, bio-degradable and non-toxic. After sourcing the right plastic, our foundation team then looked into further treatments that we could incorporate into The Pet Loo.

The treatments that we found to be the most relevant and effective on our product were a UV treatment and Teflon-like coating. Both of these were chosen to not only extend the life of the product but make the cleaning process even easier on an already low maintenance creation. 

We had toyed with the idea back in 2003 to include an antibacterial or antimicrobial agent into the plastic, however we did not want to encourage people to abandon the daily rinsing and weekly cleaning required to keep their Pet Loo in tip-top condition.  

Let’s face it, outside of keeping your pet’s toileting area waste free, your pet does not live in a sterile environment. What keeps your pet from getting sick is a healthy immune system.  Pets are exposed to thousands of viruses and bacteria everyday and it’s their immune systems that keep them safe and well, not antimicrobial products that we might introduce into their lives. 

As consumers we all need to be aware of what we are purchasing for ourselves, and as responsible pet owners we have to take this task on where they cannot.  

So next time you're out shopping for your dog, cat or otherwise,  ask your pet retailer what’s actually in the product or take the time to read the packaging yourself. Only then will you know what you’re really buying.

At Pup-Pee Solutions, our pets are a huge part of our lives and as much as we love all that they do, we are all too aware that it’s only a matter of time before accidents will happen.

Whether your pet is young or just over-excited, when a mess is made it isn’t always simple to clean. This can be especially frustrating when a urine smell is left on carpets, wooden floors, tiles, furniture etc, which can be all to welcoming for a revisit. It’s at these times when mistakes can turn into bad habits.

If you find that your pet is returning to the same area you know you have a whiffy problem on hand.

That’s our cue to jump in.

We just love solving people’s problems, especially when it’s in our area of expertise! No other company is as passionate about pet waste management as Pup-Pee Solutions. So, in keeping with our enzyme technology products we are very proud to introduce to you Whiff Off.

Whiff Off is a product that aims to attack and eliminate airborne odours, not just mask them. It’s safe for use on fabrics, flooring, pet habitats and other surfaces within habitats. Whiff Off is non caustic, non corrosive and 100% biodegradable. 

So if you find that your dog is picking up bad habits, why not grab yourself a bottle of Whiff Off?

Simply spray liberally on the affected area and let dry.

Whiff Off contains secret blends that act as a deterrent so that it will not only remove the odour, but also discourage your pet from returning.

This makes it not only a great cleaner, but an easy to use training aid!

Founder of United Pet Group comes out of retirement to endorse a pet toilet

Orlando, FL (February, 2009) – United Pet Group founder Mark Stern has left retirement to sanction a unique dog toilet from Australia he believes will be a smash hit with pet owners.

The Pet Loo is a “back yard in a box” that fits inside homes, so animals can relieve themselves when owners can’t be there. Stern, who has been retired for three years, joined Pet Loo co-inventor Tobi Skovron when he exhibited the product for ‘a twice-a-day problem’ at the Global Pet Expo in Orlando, Florida last week. 

Stern knows pet products – his businesses have been central to the massive growth of what is now a $60 billion plus industry. “When I met Tobi and Nicole and they showed me their product I was very
impressed. The Pet Loo is a unique globally patented solution to an age old problem,” says Stern. 

Until 2005, Stern headed UPG which established brands including Nature’s Miracle, Dingo, 8 in 1, Marine land and Perfecto that lead the global pet industry, today – it was sold to Spectrum Brands in 2005

Skovron, 28, hopes that Stern’s insight will help to grow their business in the world’s largest consumer market. “Strategic advice from someone with Mark’s industry experience is a tremendous asset for our young company as we start to grow in the US,” he says. 

Fate brought Skovron and Stern together in New York last July when Skovron travelled to Manhattan to set up The Pet Loo’s US Office. Skovron and his sister-in-law, Nicole sat next to Stern at Murray’s Bagels.

The rest is history. They stayed in touch and last month Stern agreed to work with the company to dominate pet waste management around the world.
