ScoopFree Customer Review

A Happy ScoopFree Self-Cleaning Litter Box Customer

A BIG thank you to ScoopFree Self-Cleaning Litter Box customer, C. Van De Car, for sending us this ScoopFree review and a photo (left) of her beautiful cat.

 "Our cat has always loved his ScoopFree litter box! He's the kind of cat that uses the litter box on an almost neurotic basis (he's always right there, ready to "go" when we change the litter cartridge). We just replaced his first ScoopFree box because it was starting to get creaky and slow down, but I'm the first one to brag that it lasted over 5 years! I was very happy to find that the replacement is just as solid and sturdy as the original!"  - C. Van De Car

Introducing Your Cat to ScoopFree

Whether this is your first experience with the ScoopFree self-cleaning litter box system or you are replacing an older model ScoopFree, your cat(s) is going to notice there is something different about their box.  While many cats take to ScoopFree immediately, others need to ease into change.  Here are some helpful hints for (re)introducing ScoopFree self-cleaning litter box to your cats...

• Keep your old litter box next to the ScoopFree but do not clean the old box. Cats prefer clean areas, so they will chose the clean ScoopFree box over their old and dirty one. Do not remove the cat's old litter box until the cat is fully acclimated to the ScoopFree.
• Sprinkle 1 or 2 small handfuls of your cat's previous litter on top of the ScoopFree crystals. The familiar smell and feel will help the cat adjust to the new box.
• If a few handfuls does not work, try using a quarter of the ScoopFree crystals to three quarters of regular litter in their old litter box. Over a period of 2 weeks, gradually replace crystals with the old litter until there is more crystal than clumping litter (make sure to use crystal litter that only contains crystals, some varieties contain crystals & clumping litter).
