Veterinarian's Choice Breath Free Litter Box Scooper

No need to shake the litter scoop to clear the cat litter out of the scoop

The Problem:
Scoopable cat litter is the most common type of litter box filler used today. Warnings on the Material Safety Data Sheets for most scoopable cat litters state that the dust created when handling the litter may be an irritant to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. When scooping cat litter in the home, one can frequently taste the dust in the mouth. Even clothing picks up the odor of the litter dust. As the dust settles in the room, it often collects on surfaces in the area where the scooping is being performed.

Despite claims that some litter is nearly no dust a certain amount of dust is still produced and is clearly visible. In addition, testing has shown that some dust is so small in particle size that it cannot even be seen by the naked eye.

The Solution:
First, when the soiled clumps come to rest on the Litter Sifting Panel of the BreatheFree Scooper, the clean litter does not fall directly back into the box as it does with traditional scoopers. With the BreatheFree Scooper, the litter is diverted onto the solid Litter Chute Floor. Using the exclusive Scoop and Tilt Technique, the clean litter is then gently eased back into the box from the relatively small D shaped opening at the back of the scooper. Thus, the size of the imprint of the clean litter falling back into the box is greatly reduced. This decreases the production of dust. Second, with the Breathe Free Scoops unique angular design, when the back end of the scooper is tilted down, it becomes very close to the surface of the litter box. This dramatically reduces the distance that the litter has to fall, also decreasing dust.
