The Common Litter Pan
Does this cat litter box look like it is solving all the problems that cat owners endure? This is the tipical litterbox that 40 million homes in North The united states, have in it. Or something similar.In 2007 consumers spent $40 billion on their pets. Forcasts for 2010 are expected to reach $50 billion in sales. It is hard to know what the best products are, for you & your pets. New products are being introducted to the market everyday, on top of the mounds of existing ones. It is important when choosing a litterbox, for your cat, to not only think about price, but also functionality.A litterbox should offer the customer solutions to the common problems a litterbox brings. Namely mess & odor. If your litter box cannot provide you with solutions to those basic problems; then it is time the alter litterboxes. As you will see sometimes the best products can be functional & affordable. This litterbox critique will provide consumers with information that will help them to make an informed decision about their next litterbox purchase.
Pros:-The basic litter pan/tray can be found in stores for about $10-$20 depending on its size.-Come in a range of sizes/colours.-accomodates multiple felines.Cons:-The basic pan is wide open; no privacy for cat.-Litter is easily spread throughout the litterbox area & your home.-no odor control-Other animals have access to pan.-not an appealling look, embarrassing, you need to hide it.Although the basic pan/tray is affordable it is not functional. Usually made of porus plastic that will trap & hold odor & moisture. Not a long lasting product. Liners are usually necessary. But the biggest concern with this type of litterbox is that there is not protection from spraying litter. Your felines natural instincts become your worst mess. Finally, most of the litter that ends up on the floor gets swept in to the garbage, wasting unused litter.

Furniture Litterbox

The Results
The Best Litterbox
By 2010 consumers of pet products will be spending $50 billion every year. I have personally contributed to this wealth in the pet industry. I purchased & tried, plenty of of the types of litterboxes mentioned above. None of the litterboxes I purchased made me happy about my felines litterbox.The LitterHouse is a new product on the market this year. The invention was directly inspired by Sox, our cat. Why have a huge whole in the front of the litterbox? They patented a walkway & attached it directly to the litter pan & put seven walls around it.Now Sox has his own house. I scoop as usual & seldom must vaccum or sweep. Easy, fast cleaning. Sox loves his LitterHouse & so do I.We spend so much funds on our pets to keep them happy & healthy, why not buy a product such as a cat litter box that works! LitterHouse wins paws down!!

How To Identify Fraud Pet Businesses
In 2002, my brother & I embarked on a new business venture, a cat litter box, This product is our own creation & has begun to sell well throughout North The united states. But with growing popularity comes increased risk. They began to notice that every now & then they would get an inquiry from someone claiming to be interested in purchasing inventory. Most often they were located in India or Australia or some place like that. Seldom from North The united states!
These days everyone is on alert for scams. It's become impossible for you to keep up on all the potential dangers. New businesses are at high risk & must guard their company information. Protecting their customers as well as themselves.
Fraudulent parties looking to prey on unsuspecting businesses, they have received huge cheques in the mail & credit cards. All turned out to be a scam.
Here are some precise things to look for if you suspect a fraudulent transaction.
In our case, the purchasing party responded with short responses & tiny information about their company. They ordered a huge quantity of the product & said they would pay & provide the shipping. The scam was; after providing payment (a cheque), they instructed me to deposit the cheque & withdraw the cost of shipping in money. A number determined by them. Then the instructions were to make payment to the shipper through a third party money transfer centre. The freight funds actually was being sent back to them. They would seldom pick up the order, no shipper would come. & the cheque? It of coursework would bounce. They banks won't reimburse you for such fraudulent transactions; & you are out the cost paid for shipping, when the cheque is reversed. Luck for us, they did not make the transfer!
1. Are they asking to provide there own carrier? The majority of business owners, (unless very huge) will ask your company to ship. Not provide their own.
2. Are they sending all the funds up front. Usual business practice is to with hold a percentage of the payment: to be sure the shipment is received in nice order.
3. Are they asking you to pay their third party shipper through an "instant funds transfer". Most of the places that transfer funds do not offer any protection to the sender. How do you know who is receiving the funds.
4. Did they order a huge quantity of product without even seeing it?
These are some of the warning signs that the transaction you are involved in, may be a scam.

Business owners beware! Businesses, little ones are preyed on. The pet industry is not excluded, but they continue to strive for safe business transactions between ourselves & pet owners.

Advancement In Litter Box Technology
There is nothing pleasant with regards to cat litter box odor. Despite lots of advancements the standard household litter box still remains nothing over an indoor out house. When your cat exits the litter box, bacteria & odor causing compounds can be tracked althrough the household. This can cause respiratory problems for your cat & your relatives. Today, the pet industry is full of harsh chemical disinfectants & deodorizer sprays & powders. They profess their effectiveness at reducing & eradicating foul pet odors. A majority of these products in reality are a short term strategy that conceal disagreeable smells. Ozone is a new feature in several litter boxes that uses air purification technology to remove odor, harmful dust, & eliminate harmful germs & bacteria. Ozone is an unstable form of oxygen that contains an extra atom which bonds to harmful contaminants & deactivates them. These types of cat litter boxes are a breakthrough at generating a healthy environment for your relatives & your pet.
