PoLoo - Automatic Toilet for Dogs

Revolutionizing Pet Care with the PoLoo

Innovative designers Eliana Reggiori and Adnan Al Maleh have created the PoLoo, an automatic toilet for dogs that is set to transform the way we care for our furry friends.

Having dogs as pets often means forcing them to hold in their pee and poo, which can lead to urinary infections and discomfort. The PoLoo aims to protect dogs from these health issues by providing a convenient and hygienic solution. This appliance is especially useful during the winter period when it is difficult for elderly and disabled individuals to take their pets outdoors.

The PoLoo is designed with simplicity and functionality in mind. Its minimalistic design allows it to seamlessly integrate with different interior styles, and it can even be customized according to personal taste. The appliance can be used as a portable unit or connected to the drains of a house, boat, or motorhome.

One of the standout features of the PoLoo is its automatic cleaning system. Similar to a dishwasher, this electric robot cleans and rinses the artificial grass roll, ensuring a clean and odorless environment for both dogs and owners. The PoLoo accomplishes a series of functions on its own, including adding water, opening the sanitizing dispenser, shooting water through jets to clean the grass roll, draining dirty water, and rolling the poo into a sealed tank inside a plastic bag. The artificial grass is left dry and ready for the next use, thanks to a timer that regulates the length of each cycle.

The PoLoo is made using a combination of aluminum, recyclable polymers, and wood, with colorful textures added for a touch of personalization. It comes in three different sizes to accommodate dogs of all breeds and sizes.

The PoLoo project was finalized in February 2014 in Nichelino Torino, Italy, after years of research and development. The designers, Eliana Reggiori and Adnan Al Maleh, were inspired by the increasing number of dogs traveling with their owners on boats, yachts, and motorhomes. They recognized the importance of creating an appliance that would improve the quality of life for both dogs and their owners during travels and indoor periods.

The PoLoo has received recognition for its innovative design and functionality. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Pet Care, Toys, Supplies, and Products for Animals category in 2015. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements for both humans and animals.

The PoLoo is set to revolutionize the way we care for our dogs, providing a convenient and hygienic solution for both indoor and outdoor use. With its automatic cleaning system and customizable design, it is a must-have appliance for dog owners looking to enhance their pets' quality of life.
