PONTIAC, Mich., Mar 15, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Spring cleaning ushers in the new season with a fresh, clean home. For households with cats, the litter box always needs special attention and springtime is a perfect opportunity to finally get rid of one of the dirtiest and unwanted jobs — cleaning the litter box. Automated Pet Care Products, Inc. has eliminated that dreaded chore with the Litter-Robot(TM), the only automated, self-cleaning litter box made in the USA.

With the Litter-Robot(TM), cleaning the litter box is as simple as changing a kitchen garbage bag every few days. Seven minutes after a cat uses it, the Litter-Robot automatically rotates and its patented litter sifting process gently separates the waste clumps from the litter and deposits it into a large waste drawer lined with a plastic bag, leaving behind a clean bed of litter for the cat.

Litter-Robot(TM) ensures an odor-free environment and forever eliminates scooping a dirty litter box by hand. The sifting system is so efficient that owners will save up to 50 percent on litter as compared to manual scooping.

“The Litter-Robot(TM) is unique in that it saves owners both time and money, something we’re all trying to do,” said Brad Baxter, president of Automated Pet Care Products. “Best of all, by completely eliminating this household chore, it gives owners the time and freedom to do other things or even take a weekend trip without worrying about the litter box.” Additionally, the Litter Robot(TM) system does not require any special waste trays, expensive litter crystals, or chemical cartridges to operate; simply use a favorite clumping litter and line the waste drawer with an inexpensive kitchen garbage bag.

Litter-Robot(TM) features include: — Patented litter sifting system; No rake that can jam or clog; No special receptacles or bags; — Works with any clumping litter; Dramatically reduces odor; Uses less litter; — Made in USA; 90-day money-back guarantee; 18-month full warranty Litter-Robot(TM) is made in the USA and costs $329 – $349 and includes shipping.

It is available online at www.litter-robot.com.

Earth Day was founded in 1970 by Gaylord Nelson (1916-2005), a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin.  At the time (and of course, still today) there was growing concern about population growth and its effect on the environment and April 22^nd was chosen as the day to celebrate the Earth and the environment.

Here at Automated Pet Care Products, Inc., we build our products in Juneau, Wisconsin, USA (county seat of Dodge county).  Building and buying locally helps to reduce carbon emissions from costly transportation from overseas – not to mention keeping jobs here in the USA.  Using recycled materials and designing products for longevity and repair are also big steps toward reducing environmental impact.

To celebrate Earth Day we are giving away a FREE ECO Unit Litter-Robot^TM.   Simply write a paragraph or two (by commenting on this article) on how you and your pet are trying to reduce environmental impact.  Or, if you have any tips or advice on how to be more ‘green’ with your pet, that would be great too.

The winner will be randomly selected from all the comments.  Only pertinent comments will be considered for the drawing.  Make sure to use a valid email address so we can contact you.   Deadline for all comments will be June 1, 2010.  The winner will be announced on this blog (www.litter-robot.com/blog) by June 8, 2010.
