DurAnimals DuraScoop Original Cat Litter Scoop, Color Varies

Having a giant Main Coon cat comes with it's own problems. On top of loads of attitude it's the size of their turds, loads, poops or should I call it what it is. A nuclear event. Trying to pick up Jacob's business with a plastic scooper got really old very fast. This metal scooper is heavy and ready to do the dirty dead. Picks up even the heaviest of loads. I love the heavy duty design and the fact I can scrape right down to the bottom of the pan without difficulty. I highly recommend this over all those useless plastic scooters. Especially in a multiple cat household

Likes: It has a very comfortable, sturdy handle. Although the scoop is a bit too wide, it works fairly well in my diabetic cat's box (wets more than normal); & it didn't break the bank. This scoop should last a long time. Dislikes: Definitely needs to have less space between slats. If the wet clumps break, residue falls thru & can not be picked up. I need a very clean box. With a diabetic cat who urinates more than normal & whose immune system is already compromised, I NEED A CLEAN BOX. Even if you have to scrape the bottom of the box, the small pieces fall thru. I think the width of the scoop is overkill, but my main complaint is still the space between the slats. We use a good clumping Likes: It has a very comfortable, sturdy handle.

We use a good clumping litter, but I don't think any litter can stand up to the puddles of a diabetic, & even lifting the clumps from the box to a bag next to it to dispose of scatters litter on the floor, etc, & where you don't want it. We are a multi cat household ranging in age from 6 mo. to 14 yrs. Our boxes are hooded & in pet play pens where our cats spend their nights; so the boxes need to be moved to be cleaned. Thankfully we place the litter box on a human incontinence chair/bed pad because, especially with older cats & even neutered boys who don't sit, you never know if they get everything in the box & you want to protect your floor. If the manufacture could down size the width of the scoop just a bit and put less space between the slats they would have a near perfect product that I might be able to give 5 stars. I hope the manufacture test their product in real life. … more

I don't know if it's the type of litter I buy or what. I buy Arm & Hammer natuals, when you live in the country, have to deal with it, cannot put it in the trash! With my cheap plastic scoop, I pick up the litter and it starts running through the slots in it, this one, I have to continually shake it so it takes longer to clean the litter. Maybe it works better with a different type of litter?

This scoop is something from my dreams. The heavyweight metal design allows for easy digging, scooping, and scrapping all of your cat’s duty. Because of this, it is much less the case that I accidentally break up clumped litter into smaller, less scoop-able pieces. When there are smaller pieces, the solid side walls (without holes) come to the rescue to hold the smaller pieces. The hole size does look big at first, but has actually been very effective at capturing what I want out v. larger chunked clean litter. We used this scoop with Dr. Elsey’s Litter.

This is an excellent scoop and is sure to stand up to multiple uses (also like that there are different slit sizes for sifting), however the handle is a bit too big (being about 2 - 3" too long to use with standard litter boxes and makes it hard to maneuver inside the box). Would be nice if they made a slightly smaller version of this scoop.

The best ever scoop for us scoopers in the litter box. The handle grips nicely and the scooper is metal right up the handle 3/4’s of the way so it can be hung. Our second one only because when we wash the first one, we have the second one. By the way, who hangs their scooper up? Ewe! We have 3 beautiful kitties. In our home only and 1 dog.

Four indoor rescues at the moment, which is the least I have ever had for over 30 years. Somehow by the grace of God, am able to get by on two larger litter boxes with these four. One box gets 20lbs fresh step non clump and the other box gets 15lbs. Litter is like 4 inches deep. Scoop in am before work, scoop in pm after work, and any other time if I am home and smell something. Been thru hundreds of scoops, claims have said same material used on military boats, planes, tanks, etc., if this scoop breaks we will raise your children, if breaks pay you readers digest sweepstakes, you get the idea. Have scooped carefully not to break the other scoops which is a real pain especially when it breaks Four indoor rescues at the moment, which is the least I have ever had for over 30 years.

Have scooped carefully not to break the other scoops which is a real pain especially when it breaks. Knowing the scoops will break soon, I bought six scoops 60 days ago, with a minimum use of 120 times now, always digging for anything missed and turning over all litter to absorb urine. Honestly, no one has ever known I had a cat, lol. Really, can I see precious? I never want to admit well actually..... My problem now is I have four extra scoops sitting around? Anyone want to buy four scoops cheap? Kidding, I am sure will break soon enough but I have gone out and put scoop in vise and tried to bend with a large pair of channel locks and unable to bend it. Other scoops broke where handle meets scooper, and the last two-three inches of the handle which every company tells you their unbreakable product runs fully up to the hole at the end of the handle, which is not true. Over enthusiastic review, heck yes, but when scooping is such a big part of your day, having a tool that doesn't work as it should absolutely sucks. Feeling I have finally solved a big irritant in my life you bet I am over the top over a litter box scoop, haha. I think it said something about a family owned company, improving products for pet owners, donates to pet charities, etc. I could go down to the garage and look at one of the unused scoops but I'm exhausted from writing this review, which I never do by the way :), I ALWAYS read the reviews before buying anything, but I never contribute until now. … more

The scooper is durable and lasts a long time. Had to buy a new one because the rubber handle was starting to crack. The first scoop I purchased had a light green handle. I was happy the second one I ordered came with a pink handle since I have a girl cat.

I had one of these years ago and a pet sitter broke the scooping part. Since that time I have bought multiple scoops and spent, I don't know how much money. It has taken that much time to figure out which brand it was that I had. The metal goes all the way up the handle, not one inch into the rubber (or whatever the handle material is that breaks). I am so thrilled to have found this type of scoop again. If you have multiple cats...this is the scoop for you!

I wish I bought a metal scooper a long time ago. This is so much better than the plastic scoopers, my Maine Coons like to poop. It has a good grip and gets those hard spots that stick with no problem. It is a little heavy, so if you have arthritis it could be an issue. I do wish the slots were a little smaller but other than that it is a successful purchase.
