· New Article About Using DooDoo Voodoo In Leather
We've had excellent personal experience using DooDoo Voodoo on leather, so given that so many customers ask us about this topic, we put together a page discussing the dos and don'ts.  Check out Treating Odors In Leather.

· Recent News About KILZ-type Sealers
Visit our Salvaging Pee-Soaked Subfloor page to read some recently added text about odor sealers from Zinsser.  A friend used their odorless product and said it was very effective and didn't bother her or her animals.

· Important Note About Lost Packages
Due to too many customer complaints about having to be at home to sign for receiving their shipment from us (upon delivery by FedEx) because of being at work, we now no longer require delivery signatures.  We are NOT liable if FedEx delivers your package but you say you never received it.  Meaning, we will not re-send you another shipment at no charge to replace the one you didn't receive.  If you believe there is a chance that your shipment may be stolen if left at your door, please have your shipment sent to a neighbor's address, the front desk at your apartment building, your workplace, etc.  We are sorry for the inconvenience of this policy, but we simply cannot absorb the cost of sending out free replacements.  Not having to be home to sign for the package is actually intended to make your life easier, but it's not without risk, so plan accordingly.

· Change Your Cat's (Or Dog's) Behavior...Naturally
We recently have had extraordinary success at helping cats get along and at helping them stop indiscriminately urinating so much by giving them calming treats by Pet Naturals of Vermont.  Cats that formerly tried to tear each other apart, and who were having a peeing contest that wouldn't end, are now lying near each other and eating out of the same dish at the same time.  Check with your vet to make sure your kitty is okay to eat these calming treats, but if so, we bet you'll be pleased with their effect on your cat (or dog; they also make dog treats).  You can buy them at major pet supply retailers and online at places such as LuckyVitamin.com, HealthSuperstore.com and our personal favorite, Swanson Vitamins.  We've also recently seen these available at Meijer stores, though not at their website.  Here's a link to a Google Shopping search for 'em.

· Natural Cat Treats
Our favorite treats are natural salmon treats with no preservatives.  Cats love 'em and they've got lots of Omega 3s that are beneficial in so many ways.  The best deal we've found on them is at http://catniptoys.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=T.  Try 'em out! 

· Great Cats Available For Adoption
Our private rescue facility is too full of cats who deserve a great home.  If you're in the Central Indiana area and are looking for a new love, or know someone who is, please contact us.  Please help our needy cats find forever homes if you can, and spread the word for us!  To learn more about the kitties we have available, click here.

· Air Fresheners And Your Health
Recently, spray-type and plug-in-type air fresheners have been in the news because of findings that they contain chemicals that have proven harmful (such as causing liver and kidney cancer in laboratory animals), and which have been shown to cause breathing difficulties in humans, especially those with compromised lung function.  DooDoo Voodoo's germ- and odor-killing action, along with its largely natural and biodegradable ingredients, can help you attain the fresh-smelling home you desire...perhaps without the negatives associated with the air fresheners that have been in the news lately.  We've put together a new page about additional ways to freshen your air and you can check it out here.  Discussed are air purifiers, ionizers, UV units, air exchangers, air-quality test kits and more.  Our favorite new tool is Dr. Whitaker's Neoair Plus Total Shield air purifier, which we bought more than a dozen of.

While we're talking about air purifiers, we wanted to share with you a site we found that seems to quite rationally discuss the pros and cons of a variety of top brands of air purifiers.  Interestingly, the units we've used for years got horrible marks (and lots of negative user comments), while the Neoair units we're now using got very, very good reviews and are highly recommended.  To visit the site, click here.  Consumer Reports also recently did an in-depth study of various brands of air purifiers.  More info is available to subscribers at their website.

· Extra...Free!
We wanted to point out that our bottles generally contain more product than the quoted capacity.  For example, our Concentrate Quart actually contains as much as 36 ounces of product, which equates to more than 5% additional product FREE.  So, the value DooDoo Voodoo provides is even better than it seems!

· Competitors Charging More For Less
On June 29, 2007, at a national pet supplies retailer we saw a gallon of pet odor neutralizer selling for $34.99.  The label said that the user should use the product as-is and should not dilute it further.

An online competitor (whose product is sold as an odor neutralizer but isn't similar to DooDoo Voodoo in formulation) is selling their product for prices far greater than we charge for DooDoo Voodoo.  PLUS, their product isn't as concentrated, so each container yields HALF as much as ours.  They also charge additional for shipping, whereas we include free FedEx ground shipping (in the continental USA) in our prices.

Once you add in their shipping charges, the competitor's product costs as much as $11.00 per gallon (once diluted for use), whereas our product costs as little as $1.24 a gallon once you add your own tap water.

These are two more examples of why we continue to believe that nothing beats DooDoo Voodoo's effectiveness OR value.  Don't spend more and get less!

· Audio Clip Of Testimonial
We recently received a wonderful voicemail from a satisfied customer and thought you'd enjoy hearing it.  We had counseled her about sealing her concrete subfloor with Zinsser BIN Sealer...but it turned out that she didn't need to because DooDoo Voodoo was so effective on her (extreme) cat urine odor.

· Perhaps The Best DooDoo Voodoo Testimonial Ever
We've received from a customer a glowing report on DooDoo Voodoo's broad effectiveness.  Betsy, the customer, has used DooDoo Voodoo in a wide variety of ways, and on a wide variety of stains and odors.  Her testimonial, which was totally unsolicited, speaks volumes about DooDoo Voodoo's effectiveness in so many ways.  Please be sure to read it at the top of our TESTIMONIALS page.  We love hearing success stories, so please share yours with us by sending us an e-mail.

· New Indianapolis Dealer

· Georgette Loses Her Battle With Cancer
We recently lost one of our housecats, Georgette, to metastasized cancer.  You can read her life story and see photos here.  You can read about other animals of ours who have passed over the Rainbow Bridge by clicking here.  On the Georgette page there is also helpful (subjective) information about what we learned medically from Georgette's battle with cancer.  She is an incredible girl and we're blessed to have her be a part of our lives.  You can also access a PDF document I put together about cleaning up the blood Georgette vomited the day before she passed away.  It is perhaps the most amazing cleanup job DooDoo Voodoo's done yet on stains and we recommend you take a look at it.  Talk about effective!

· DooDoo Voodoo Cat Litter Now Available In Indy
We've yet to develop a full web page about it, but we wanted to let local customers know that our cat litter is now available at the Broad Ripple Animal Clinic and Noah's Animal Hospital at 56th & Emerson on Indy's northeast side, as well as at the Fishers Bridgeview Animal Hospital.  (You can find these clinics' contact info on our PRODUCTS page.)

Available in 25# jugs, DooDoo Voodoo Cat Litter is a phenomenal product, yet we've priced it within pennies of most of the store-bought brands...and nearly two bucks cheaper per pound than some of them!  For instance, at a national pet products retailer, they sell clumping litter for as much as $2.13 a pound, but DooDoo Voodoo Cat Litter is a fraction of that price.  (Actual selling prices are set by our dealers.)  It's the only clumping litter we've used in our rescue facility and home since 1988 and can tell you from experience that it's a GREAT litter.  Your cats will LOVE it.  A top Indy vet said, quote, "I'm going to tell every cat owner I know that they MUST use this litter!"  That's a direct quote from a top vet!

The benefits of DooDoo Voodoo Clumping Cat Litter are many, and we've used it with fantastic success with the hundreds of cats & kittens we've rescued and fostered over the years.  Our litter forms tighter clumps than other brands, thus providing what we've found to be the best odor control available.  How tightly does it clump? Well, shown to the right is a picture I shot on 7-4-08 of a demonstration (water, not urine) clump from 1988!  Yes, 1988!  Our litter is all-natural, is not bleached, has no added fragrance, is not dyed, is dramatically lower in dust than other brands and clumps really well (think your brand would stay clumped for 20 years?).  In unscientific studies, cats have preferred our litter 10:1 versus other brands.  Customers report that their cats love our litter...even cats who exhibited indiscriminate urination with their previous litters, such as those from warehouse clubs.

Cats who like their litter are much less likely to pee outside the litter box or hold their urine, which can put them at higher risk for urinary infections, so please give DooDoo Voodoo Clumping Cat Litter strong consideration, especially if you have cats who exhibit indiscriminate urination.

Stay tuned for more details.  For the time being, though, here's a PDF flyer we put together about DooDoo Voodoo Clumping Cat Litter.  The PDF is 332KB in size.  If you're in Indianapolis and want to buy litter bulk, it is available in 50# bags with a minimum purchase of 10 bags.  You load 'em.  E-mail us for more info.

(Click the thumbnail image to see a larger version of our trademarked logo.  The cat in the litter box and rainbow concepts have been our trademarks since 1988.)

· Stain Removal?  Yeah, We Do That...Very Well, Thank You.
For years people have been asking us if DooDoo Voodoo is effective on stains as well as odors.  We've generally shied away from making stain removal claims 'cause we didn't want people hating us if DooDoo Voodoo didn't remove their stains.  Over the years, people have reported total success at removing urine, vomit, feces, cranberry juice, grape juice and lots more.  Well, we thought we'd show you an example of how well DooDoo Voodoo can remove staining from cat vomit.  To read more and see before and after pictures, click here.  (There's only one picture and it's really not that gross.  Our kitty's on a liquid, tube-feeding diet, so what you see on the carpet is really just liquified cat food.)

· Customer Comment On Competing Product
In taking an order from a Seattle, WA, customer on the phone, the customer mentioned that she'd used two competing products, and that one of them, which has the word urine in the name, "really made the smell a lot worse!" rather than better.  Before that product, she had used another popular bacteria-based product that she said made no difference whatsoever.

· Carpet Cleaning In The Indianapolis Area

· DooDoo Voodoo In The Washer
In case you miss it elsewhere on our site, we wanted to reiterate here that many folks have had good results washing pee-soaked items in their washer with just DooDoo Voodoo Concentrate in lieu of soap, bleach, oxygen booster, etc.  We've run soiled blankets with as little as 1oz. of DooDoo Voodoo Concentrate, while we've heard from folks who used as much as half a cup of Concentrate to run their loads.  Given the strength of our Concentrate and the detergent the formula contains, don't overdo it so as to not have excess suds.  Germ and odor control in one easy step!

· Blacklights Now In-Stock For Immediate Shipping
Over the years, we've tried every blacklight fixture and every type of bulb we could get our hands on, including some of the pathetic little handheld units our competitors sell.  We were simply appalled at how most of the fixtures and bulbs we tried didn't show urine at all.  Some of them seemed to simply be regular bulbs that had been painted blue or purple...even some of the bulbs that were pretty expensive.

Why do some blacklights not do a very good job of showing urine or other organic materials?  Well, the blacklight spectrum is quite broad, kind of like the tuning range of your FM radio dial.  The problem is that some bulbs put out, to make an analogy, a frequency which would be at the top of the radio dial, while the urine or other organic material you want the blacklight to show you fluoresces (glows) when subjected to a frequency that's at the bottom of the radio dial.  To put it another way, if you're wanting to hear a station that's at 90.1FM, tuning your dial to 107.9FM won't do you any good at all.  This is analogous to how most blacklights we tried didn't show us the organic material we wanted them to show us.  In addition, some were just too darned dim to be useful.

The unit we've settled on is made by GE and features a bulb which puts out the correct part of the ultraviolet spectrum.  We've taken delivery of a large number of these units and now have them available on our PRODUCTS page at a price of $24.99 ($31.94 including shipping in the continental USA), which is a lot less than we paid for the unit we've been using for some time now.

If you're serious about locating your urine, the DooDoo Voodoo Blacklight is the one you need!  It makes a great gift for any pet owner...or especially for the realtor^® in your life.
