The Pet Loo in Canada, eh?

Pup-Pee — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 23:39:16 +0000

Over the past few weeks in the US and Canada, the pet industry features trade shows apparently designed for just about everyone, to meet just about every need. Manufacturers will be on the move between coasts and venturing to the far north to show off their wares to retailers and consumers alike.

PIJAC Canada 5th National Pet Trade Show September 18 and 19 at the Canadian Exposition and Conference Centre. According to PIJAC Canada, there will be 150 Canadian and American manufacturers and distributors who will be breaking out their Christmas product lines. [1]

An active player in an international network of pet industry associations, PIJAC Canada has been a strong and consistent voice for the Canadian Pet Industry since 1988.

The Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council of Canada is the voice of the Canadian pet industry. As a not for profit, member based organization, PIJAC Canada advocates on behalf of the Canadian pet industry, while acting as a credible source of information and education for pet related businesses.[2]

Pet Loo Canada was in full force at this years PIJAC show and according to the president they set a record for the most amount of displays sold.

Look out apartment dwellers, The Pet Loo is here…

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.

Unedited Email From a Pet Loo Patron…

From: Lachlan H

Subject: From Pet Loo Fans

Dear Pet Loo Company,

I think The Pet Loo is a fantastic product and I am so pleased that I bought The Pet Loo for my poodle Hugo. The product may have even saved us from being made ‘homeless’.

I purchased The Pet Loo after trying a number of other options, including real grass and kitty litter. The outdoor system with real grass was a complete disaster! The grass died very quickly lasting ony 3 weeks and then when the grass was replaced it died within 1 week. The outdoor grass patch soon turned into an outdoor mud pit!

Then I tried kitty litter, which very soon made the outdoor court yard into a complete mess, with kitty litter scattered all over the courtyard. Another problem with kitty litter was that Hugo would bring in bits of dirty kitty on his paws, so kitty litter ended up all over the apartment!

Finally, because the Landlord was inspecting our apartment and I didn’t want him to see the mess the other products caused, I purchased The Pet Loo.

The Pet Loo exceeded all my expectations and there is no comparison to the other products, The Pet Loo really is the best solution!

It is so easy to clean with no mess, does not smell and it also looks attractive. The Pet Loo made our apartment look nicer for our landlord’s inspection.

With the current rental crisis in Melbourne it was even more important that we pass the inspection with flying colours so that we can stay in our current apartment or rent another property with a good reference from the landlord.

Thank-you for creating the pet-loo!

Luana, Lachlan and Hugo

Which Dog Potty Is Right for You? – As Featured on AOL

Pup-Pee — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:57:32 +0000

There are really no words to describe just how much I adore my five-year-old terrier mix, Atticus. Having been his proud (adoptive) papa since June of 2008, I am, admittedly, obsessed with my dog (you would be too if you met him). The sixteen-pound black and white pooch is — as most pet owners will attest — essentially my child, and keeping his best interests in mind is always a top priority.

That being said, living on the sixteenth floor of an eighteen-floor apartment building with only two elevators can make the bathroom walk a royal pain in the tail. Considering that I'm lucky enough to have a terrace, it dawned on me recently that bringing home a dog potty might save me both time and energy.

I decided to test several high-end Wee Wee Pads to find the perfect solution.

Photo: Wizdog

Wizdog is a 21" X 28" plastic pan with a fitted grate on which liquid waste dispenses through to a newspaper or an absorbent pad. Atticus didn't take to the $40 solution, but that's probably more due to the fact that he's used to relieving himself on grass or the curb. The product seems best fit for puppies and dogs already experienced with pads or newspaper. And while it is rather small, Wizdog suggests combining two of the products together to cover more surface — but that will also double your costs.

Photo: UGODOG

UGODOG: At 24" x 19", the $50 plastic pan and fitted grate is similar to the Wizdog. But with two smaller grids, it is easier to clean, and, we should add, its neutral color (compared to Wizdog's bright blue) makes it more aesthetically pleasing. Urine passes through the grates and onto newspaper or a Wee Wee Pad, but unlike the Wizdog, it doesn't have to be absorbent. You can simply have liquids pass through to the pan and empty it out every night. Again, Atticus didn't take to it, but we know why.

Photo: Pet Loo

Pet Loo: At about 33" x 33", the Pet Loo is designed with synthetic grass that filters urine into a reservoir on the base's side, which can simply be removed and dumped into the toilet. This makes the Pet Loo a bit more environmentally friendly that the previous two solutions as you don't need to waste newspaper or pads to collect pee. The grass and the base beneath can be cleaned with warm water, leaving the contraption entirely odorless. Considering that my dog prefers doing his business on grass, both Atticus and I were quite pleased with the Pet Loo.

Photo: Porch Potty

Porch Potty, however, was the clear winner. At 28" x 52", it is, indeed, the largest model we tested, but that may have also been what made it most effective. Unlike the Pet Loo, Porch Potty has two cleaning options. The Standard $249 model, which we tested, uses a provided "catch basin" (read: bowl) placed beneath a hole in the center of its base that collects all liquid waste. At $30 more, the Premium model features a built-in sprinkler system that requires a connection to a garden hose. Two sprinklers spray the grass clean, while a drainage hose — which hopefully you've snaked over to your nearest rain gutter or patio drain — dispenses the soiled water. Atticus found the Porch Potty roomy and spacious, and the synthetic grass has, indeed, remained odorless and easy to clean with a few sprays of a water bottle every day.

If you have enough space and prefer to use a system featuring synthetic grass, we'd recommend the Porch Potty (which also offers training sod instead of grass). That being said, the Pet Loo is equally expensive, but if you don't need as much space as the Porch Potty offers, it is definitely a worthy buy. And between Wizdog and UGODOG — both of which feature grates instead of grass — we'd recommend springing the extra $10 for the latter, which looks more better and doesn't require the use of newspapers or wee-wee pads.

Tobi implores all retailers to “have a go and take a chance,”

When you gotta go….you gotta go – and your dog doesn’t know how much you paid for that Persian rug. If your pet is doing its outside business inside, Pup Pee Solutions has the answer with The Pet Loo. This “backyard in a box” will forever eliminate those early morning bathroom runs, inclement weather walks, and the apprehension over leaving your pet alone for too long.

The Pet Loo features durable synthetic grass atop a platform and a hygienic urine drainage system designed for easy maintenance. No longer will your canine need to rely on you for its dirty deeds, which means peace of mind and a cleaner house.

Tobi Skovron and his wife Simone developed The Pet Loo after purchasing a dog in 2003. Living in an apartment, Tobi & Simone immediately became aware of the difficulties of having a pet and no yard, thus inspiring the creation of the prototype Pet Loo. After three years of developing and fine tuning, the invention hit the market in 2006.

In just three years the product has exploded, enjoying success in 73 countries and earning a devoted following from those who otherwise could not own a dog. “Pets and people’s lifestyles are often impractical. The Pet Loo is a solution rather than just a product,” Tobi remarks. “Our success is genuine and the retailers who have got on board have made a lot of money.” Tobi implores all retailers to “have a go and take a chance,” citing that too much stagnancy can be very detrimental in a slow market.

While several imitators have cropped up, none come close to Pup Pee Solutions. They aggressively preserve their patent protection and intellectual property, ensuring the consumer gets only the best quality product at a reasonable cost.

Whether you’re a busy traveling professional, or just own a dog that’s indiscriminate over its toilet location, there’s no better alternative.
