We never imagined so many people would be this enthusiastic about the DuraScoop! Here's what some of our customers have to say...

Bob Hawkins of Happy Tails Rescue, Augusta, Georgia writes:

"I work with a rescue group and have 15 cats at home with 8 litter boxes. Your scoop has cut down the scooping time by 2/3. Also I sent a DuraScoop to the head of our group. She has a cattery with 50 cats and many, many litter boxes. After she used it for one day, you cannot get the DuraScoop away from her!. I also feature DuraScoop at our adoptions every Saturday and Sunday...thank you for DuraScoop, it really turns the "number 2" job in our house into a easy one."

Kati Arany of Harvard, Massachusetts writes:

“…love the product…this is what I've complained about not having for a long time—it's the last scoop you'll ever need. THANKS!”

Mary Levesque of Solvang, California writes:

" Thanks! I have 7 indoor cats. I scoop often. No, I scoop constantly…Fabulous Product! I absolutely love my scoop. I donated all my other scoops to a cat shelter. It is my first line of defense against the always popular litter boxes."

Michelle Dalton of Fremont, Michigan writes:

“Love the scoopers and I tell all my fellow cat people about them. No more bent or broken scoopers, and no more calluses from frequent scooping! ... Excellent, heavy-duty, the best I have found!”

John Davis of New Carlisle, Ohio writes:

“…excellent scoop!! Highly Recommended!!!”

Stephen Delchamps of Batavia, Illinois writes:

"I love the light weight and balanced heft of the Durascoop. To paraphrase Fleetwood Mac, 'You make scooping fun.' Well, almost, anyway."

Matthew and Rachel Alschuler of Chicago, Illinois write:

“We got the scoop earlier this week, and it rocks! We were so excited opening the package and trying it out. It's solid, robust, gives you a great grip, and really gets the grit out of those corners and sides--a real shovel-scoop! Way cool. Many thanks!

We're already thinking of it as a gift for our puddy-loving friends. We know someone who has 11 cats at home (down from 40-something rescues at one point). You may want to promote these to animal shelters--they probably go through a lot of the useless plastic ones. It would be much better for them to have one or two of these aluminum babies."

Cindi Sibert of Monmouth, Oregon writes:

“Really great item!!! I'm so pleased. Thanks.”

Ron and Joy Norquist of St. Paul, Minnesota write:

"We love our DuraScoop! Everything about it, from the ergonomics of the handle to the well-designed shape and digging capacity of the scooper itself, make it the perfect litterbox-scooping tool! Now that we've been using the DuraScoop for while, we can't imagine ever going back to a pathetic plastic scoop. Thank you, DuraScoop Man!"

Kevin M. of Santa Cruz, California writes:

“The damn thing really works great!! Great scoop !! Thanks!!”

Theodore F Wollnik Jr, of Batavia, Illinois writes:

"Hardly a week goes by when I don't complain to my wife about all the inferior cat litter scoops out there. I've tried them all. The plastic ones bend and break.. The metal ones are too small or shaped funny. Actually the best things I've used (and its really old now) is an old kitchen tool. Something like what you would use to remove fried stuff from oil. In either case... this is a great idea."

Allen Ternent of Atchison, Kansas writes:

“Class act poop scooper! What more could a kitty want?”

Laura Hayward of Chatham Kent, UK writes:

“Just wanted to let you know the scoops arrived on Monday … The scoops are just brilliant, they are so much better than I imagined. Even my hubbie is impressed and he usually has a fit when I come home with all these new inventions..... Litter trays are so much quicker and easier to do. I bought the 2 scoops but can't see me needing 2 as they’re so good so my breeding friend will have the other... Thanks again.... I have put a link in 2 places on my [web] site, hope you approve."

Timothy Sluder of Pueblo, Colorado writes:

“A super dooper pooper scooper, thanks...”

Gwendolyn Willis, Kennett Square, Pensylvania writes:

“I bought one of these scoops from ebay and have found it to be the most wonderful scooper I ever had. We have 11 cats and 5 litter box's so you know it gets used every day at least twice and sometimes more. I can only say one thing about your product. You MUST advertise it more. Do you know how many multi cat families would love to own one of these??? This scooper is the best by far…”

Christian Stanley of Seaside, California writes:

“Best Tool I ever used! Thanks”

Lindy Sobel of Los Angeles, California writes:

"We are so impressed with your Durascoop, we wondered if you had a catalogue of other items and how we could receive that… What a pleasure to have found quality products made by quality people. The Durascoop has truly been a lifesaver for our family. We have 8 rescue cats in the house that share 5 litter boxes. You can imagine how many old scoopers we bent in half!! We know for sure that the DuraScoop will outlast all of us! Please keep us posted on any new products as we will be some of your best customers!"

Richard A. McKusick of Saint Paul, Minnesota writes:

“Thank you very much for your attention and cooperation – and an excellent product!”

Betty Sleep of Carraig Birmans Cattery, Coles Island, N.B., Canada writes:

"I got my Durascoops today … They are really great. You know your life is lacking something when you get excited by new scoops and have to go try them out. I've used them in the medium, large and extra large boxes, which is what I have most of. Out of necessity, I still use the "old" kind in a couple of boxes, because they are in separate quarters and share their boxes with no other cats. You really can feel the difference, going from one to the other. I like the feel and heft of it, as well as how it scoops to the bottom, and lifts up with no bending of the scoop or your wrist."

Teresa Iovino of Memphis, Tennessee writes:

“Amazing scoop! Well worth the $! Thanks!!!”

Diane B. of San Jose, California writes:

"Hi, and how happy I am to have found you. I'm another of those people who's been looking for years for a heavy duty metal scooper in every new store or pet dept., then grumbling there simply *must* be something like it somewhere! While scooping a few moments ago, I had that thought again plus a few extra minutes, so this time I went to the internet… At any rate, I will be printing and sending in your form within the next day or so. And thanks so much!”

Rowena Solomon of Gainsville, Florida writes:

“Thanks! We love your product.”

Jane Powell of Rockledge, Florida writes:

"Got the package today, thanks. They are the best looking scoops I've ever seen! I find they make the job of scooping much quicker since they're so large and I would recommend them to anyone."

Donald Beeman of South Pasadena, California writes:

“Thank you!!! We have a stout plastic scoop that has worked well for over 18 months, but it is starting to wear thin. I was starting to get very concerned because I have never seen another since I bought it. Then read about your excellent product in "Best Friends" magazine, accessed your website and realized my search for a durable, efficient scooping tool was over. I am sending links to your site to all my family and friends who have struggled with inferior products as I have. Again, thank you!!!!! You have my…undying gratitude for a product that has answered all my wants in kitty scoopers. ”

Susan Craig of Charleston, West Virginia writes:

“Super heavy duty GREAT product”

George J Haworth of Norfolk, Virginia writes:

“I just received my DuraScoop after placing my order three days ago. Let me just say after using it, I would gladly pay twenty dollars for it. It is by far the best cat scoop that I have ever used. We have six cats and have gone through a number of other cat scoops. They all ended up in the trash can. I would gladly recommend this product to any one with cats. I think that it would also make a great sand scoop for people combing the sandy beach with their metal detectors, looking for hidden treasures. Keep up the good work. PS: You may use my E-Mail as an endorsement for your DuraScoop.”

Carole Petley of Binghamton, New York writes:

“I volunteer at a cat shelter. I clean the shelter three times a week. It has about 80 cats and has about 25 litter pans. So you can see that I do need a strurdy, comfortable scoop. I ordered one of your scoops and it’s wonderful!! Please send me one more. Thank you.”

Judith Villa of Santa Barbara, California writes:

“The best pooper scooper!”

Michael Wyatt of Newnan, Georgia writes:

“This scoop is great. I saw it advertised in some magazine in my vet's office. It is long overdue and I probably will order another. I would like to see you develop a small to medium size that you can use in smaller kitten litter boxes such as those found in adoption cages. Also you need to advertise more...I get Cat Fancy and have never seen it unless I missed it. Thanks.....good service too....”

Debra Soukup of Van Nuys, California writes:

"…Love your scoop - it promises to be the best I've ever used on 4 cats (I bought one for me & one for my sister in Buffalo, NY)!"

Sharon Cook of Boise, Idaho writes:

"I have never sent a note to a company to say how much we LOVE a product and here I am sending my first one because of a cat litter scoop!! Ha! Ha! My sister lives with me and my husband, and between us we have five inside only cats. This equates to three litter boxes that MUST be cleaned out everyday. This job has fallen to my sister, who is actually really good about getting it done. The week we got the DuraScoop I helped her clean the litter box in my bedroom. What a mess! The metal scoop I had bought at the pet store, that I thought had to be better then the plastic ones, was all bent out of shape and almost impossible to use. I had seen the DuraScoop advertised in a cat magazine and had copied the web address, but had never really given it another thought. Well, the very night that I helped clean the litter box I ordered your scoop. My sister says that it is wonderful, and since it is so big she can clean all of the litter boxes in half the time. One of our neighbors adopted a one year old cat from the humane society today and I just ordered another DuraScoop to give to them.

Thank you for making such a great product and my sister sends her utmost gratitude for how much easier it is to clean up after the five cats now."

Keith Williams of River Ridge, Louisiana writes:

“Awesome!! - Great product, thanks.”

Anne Shannon of New York, New York writes:

"Wow! I got my durascoop last week and just had to tell you … this is one sturdy, well-made piece of equipment. I should last as long as this scoop undoubtedly will! Thanks for a terrific product. If you ever branch out and sell other stuff, please let me know."

Sherry Green of Indianapolis, Indiana writes:

“Great service! Luv this scoop; w/ 4 cats, does it ever make life easier!”

Gary and Carole Huygen of Petaluma, California writes:

"Sorry it took us so long to find you - we have received our two scoops and have passed one around to our foster friends -- you should receive a number of orders from Sonoma County in the near future.

My wife and I have seven (7) LitterMaid Mega litter boxes as we have 7 adopted rescue cats and we also foster shelter kittens and socialize feral cats for Pets Lifeline Animal Shelter in Sonoma, CA.

Your scoop is fantastic - it is large, extremely lightweight, the knife edge scrapes the bottom of the box cleanly, and infinitely better than any of the plastic ones we use to unjam any of the seven LitterMaids we have around the house. I would highly suggest you contact them and see if a deal can be worked out where a coupon for your scoop can be included in their packaging as the two make for a perfect litter box combo.

I will forward a copy of this note to them with the same recommendation - my wife and I can safely say we have extensive experience in litterbox science and now our scoops and poops.

The only downside is the scoop is indestructible, unlike the plastic ones. I expect my two scoops to outlive me. However, we will do our best to make as many people in the fostering profession aware of them.

Best wishes and continued success to you."

Mark Caudill of Kent, Washington writes:

“Now that's a heavy duty scoop!! Thanks…”

George Wheeler of Tucson, Arizona writes:

"Received my durascoop today. AT LAST! A SCOOP that doesn't twist, bend, break, and send me to the insane asylum. Thank you. Thank you. George Wheeler

(I have a fabricated scoop I mickey-moused together using two of the cheesy plastic scoops and some wood reinforcement in the handle. I am going to take the durascoop and my fabricated scoop to Pets Mart and give them the rasberries. What a pleasant discovery! )"

John Breeding of Nashville, Tennessee writes:

“Truly the Ferrari of cat litter scoops. Than you very much.”

Mike Baskette of San Diego, California writes:

"A scoop that won't bend or break. I received mine last week and could not be happier. With four cats one might imagine how busy this scoop is on a daily basis. You gotta love DuraScoop."

Barb Linden of Linden Tree Home Pet Care, Claremore, Oklahoma writes:

"Just received my order from you and am delighted with the quality of the Durascoop. Glad I ordered one as a gift for my sister, too! I heard about how wonderful the scoops are on my internet pet sitter forum, when everyone was raving about them. As a professional petsitter, I'd love to have some brochures to give to my petsitting clients, and also to give out in my dog training classes, as many people who have dogs also have cats! Do you have any available?

Thank YOU for your great product. Actually, I thought there MUST be such a product "out there" but never thought of manufacturing one...!"

Theresa Wenger of Caruthers, California writes:

"I just received my DuraScoop today and let me tell you, it's the best! I have fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel with 12 inside cats and lots of boxes to clean. I have no strength in my hands and it now takes none. I will tell my friends what a great product it is. The Product itself is so great that you just don't know what a huge help it will be to me with my pain."

Maria Golabek of Springville, New York writes:

"I purchased one of your scoops and it’s the best scoop I have ever used. Thanks so much!"

Catharine Spranzmann of Carmel, New York writes:

"Just wanted to let you know I received both Durascoops (last Friday) and think they are wonderful! Since they are so substantial and will last forever, I will donate the second one to our local humane society. Thank you again for such a wonderful product...!"

Jo Chriesman of San Angelo, Texas writes:

"I DO love the DuraScoop and would like to order another one."

William Snow of Indianapolis, Indiana writes:

"Hi, Just to let you know I have received scoop & very happy with purchase."

Dirk Raemdonck of The Living Dolls Cattery, Baasrode, Belgium writes:

"I know that I live in Belgium but I am going to recommend DuraScoop to all my friends in the cat world... We have two catteries one with Birmans and one with Ragdolls; this means that we must clean our litter trays (16 pieces) everyday so I think that I now what I'm saying.

I find DuraScoop the best scoop of the world, not just for somebody who must use it everyday but also when you have only one cat. When you need a scoop to do the job then you need Durascoop. When I think about all the years that I struggled with the plastic scoops I could punch myself."

We saved the best for last. Believe it or not, like the previous endorsements, the following lengthy and well-written fan letter was entirely unsolicited. Go Valerie!

Valerie Galante of North Tonawanda, New York writes:

"My sister Debra Soukup originally purchased your product back in 11/12/03 after reading about it in Best Friends Magazine. She bought one for her and one for me. After using it for only a few times, I have to tell you that I'd be lost without it. It is indeed of the highest quality.

I have four kitties and they are very active in their two very large litter boxes. I have to scoop two times daily, a job I have to admit I absolutely hate. With DuraScoop I make only a few passes in each box and voila! Right before my eyes all the wet clumps of "you know what" are gone. And the pieces of "you know what else" are gone too. And the odor. DuraScoop is so efficient that the odor is knocked out in round one. Gone forever.

The litter box never has a chance to develop litter box odor and smell. DuraScoop helps to eliminate the smell and bacteria by quickly and easily removing the offending particles.

The girls and I don't know what I did before the DuraScoop. I also find that none of the litter sticks to the DuraScoop like it did to my old plastic scooper.

So now I've ordered a DuraScoop for my daughter and one for my neighbor. My neighbor, Vicki, is in the business of professional pet-sitting services and I thought of all the people she could use this wonderful product. I thought your wonderful scoop would be just what she needed. What a great present to give at any time of the year. Can you imagine how many litter boxes she scoops in one week?

… you really had a bright idea when you thought up DuraScoop. So now I want to light a fire under all my friends. Every time I email any friends that have kitties I send a link to your ad of DuraScoop. Of course, I always include a few lines telling them how much I enjoy mine. I just want everyone to know about the DuraScoop and be as happy about cleaning the litter box as I am."
