Igloo-Shaped Litter Boxes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Igloo's Modern Cat Litter Box is Odor-Free and Low-Maintenance

— March 31, 2020 — Lifestyle
Igloo Designs created an automatic and modern cat litter box to better serve felines and pet owners. Commonly, messes and odors related to a home's litter box are concerns for cat owners but Igloo boasts a smart design that's focused on convenience and sanitary systems. In addition to detecting when a cat is using the box, Igloo uses automatic cleaning cycles to scoop waste and package it into a tightly sealed receptacle. As a result, cat owners only need to remove and dispose of the sealed waste bags weekly.

The odor-free, hassle-free litter box shares a low-maintenance design and, as its name suggests, takes the shape of an igloo. The modern cat litter box design further supports pet owners with Wi-Fi connectivity and a companion app.
