Bandobi Pet Products offers unique products for your pets. There are many different models, but I’ll focus on the Litter-Box Outhouse that allows you to relocate your cat’s litter box (and its smell) to the outdoors.

The Model L-30 Litter-Box Outhouse is a small, steel, outdoor enclosure (rust-proof plastic coating) with enough room for a litter box up to 20 inches long by 20 inches wide. An adapter that connects the cage to a pet flap-door is included and is compatible with most pet flap-doors. To clean the litter box, just pick up the steel cage and set it off to the side.

The Bandobi Model L-30 Litter-Box Outhouse ($55) and their Purr-Secure line can be found at Bandobi.com

The New Drinkwell Platinum improves on the widely-popular Original Drinkwell Pet Fountain, and adds many new features. Like the original, the circulating water attracts pets, encouraging them to drink more water, which in turn reduces the risk of diseases like urinary tract infections and kidney disease. It has a falling stream, like the original, but this design reduces “braiding”, which in turn keeps the stream from splashing outside of the bowl while still providing the benefits of aeration. The new spout is 8″ from the floor, providing easier access for those pets that want to drink straight from the stream. The new pre-filter keeps debris like hair and food particles from entering the chamber where the pump pushes water back up into the tower. This reduces cleaning maintenance, and wear and tear on the pump. The new 3-Layer Filter now removes impurities even better than the original. The new design is even more kind to sketchy cats - the new flow control will not startle them and the new pump is even quieter than the original - some would say nearly silent. The new design also incorporates a built-in reservoir putting the capacity at over 1 gallon, which makes refills less frequent, and giving owners with multiple or large pets relief from frequent refills. And, best of all, the entire unit (including the reservoir) is now dishwasher safe, so you don’t have to worry about melting down parts when cleaning like the original version. The Drinkwell Fountain is designed, approved, and recommended by veterinarians, particularly for pets prone to urinary tract disorders. This fountain will save trips to the vet by giving your pet this innovative constant access to running water.

This Hidden Cat Litter Box, from Good Pet Stuff, is a decorative litter box you don’t have to hide (duh). The smell?… Well, you can’t have everything. Its Tuscany finish looks like a real clay pot with an artificial decorator plant. Just turn the entrance to the wall to hide it. It has a removable top section for easy filling and cleaning. A filtered vent system helps to control odor and dust, but I’m not so convinced. It could also serve as small dog house. Just throw a small pillow or blanket in and your pet could snooze away while you go crazy looking for him or her…
