STA-BIL Lawn Mower Racing Series Goes To The Dogs: High Tech Auggiedog Stool Tool Picks Up What 78 Million Dogs Leave Behind

Auggiedog, a new powered stool tool for picking up dog waste, has partnered with the U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association to become the Official Pet Waste Removal Product of the 20th Anniversary STA-BIL Keeps Gas Fresh Finals National Lawn Mower Racing Championships to be held Sept. 1-2 in Delaware, Ohio.

Auggiedog, a revolutionary poop pick up power tool for dog owners, requires no stooping or touching and no plastic bags to pick up the waste left behind by America’s 78 million “best friends.” Auggiedog picks up dog poop with the push of a button, has a built-in light for late night walks, and features a handle beeper for dog training. The Auggiedog even comes with its very own biodegradable cleaning solution and hands free clean station where you can clean and store your Auggiedog ready for each use. Auggiedog is Five Star approved by the American Pet Association (APA) and is an award winner at the 2012 Global Pet Expo.

According to the American Pet Products Association 2011-2012 National Pet Owners Survey, there are approximately 78.2 million owned dogs in the United States and 39% of U.S. households own at least one dog. Auggiedog is a convenient and clean way for any dog owner, especially city dwellers and seniors, to pick up dog waste.

Auggiedog makes the task of cleaning up after pets a breeze. Simply pull the trigger and the 2.8lb. Auggiedog will deliver. It is the first ever no touch, no stoop, no bag 7.2V rechargeable power tool for picking up what dogs leave leave behind. It truly is the “Stool Tool.” The Auggiedog is safe for most environments including grass, snow, pavement and tile floors.

“We’re thrilled to be part of this unique American motorsport and to promote our product to an entirely new market of motorsports enthusiasts, home owners and do-it-yourselfers,” said Auggiedog CEO Dave McGee. “Auggiedog is a quality lawn and garden tool made to last. We’re power tool guys, and so are lawn mower racers, so it is a perfect fit. Plus, we both have a sense of humor. We’re proud to support such a neat group of people.”

The Partnership will include:

• The “Auggiedog Stool Tool Mower Race” a race between two STA-BIL Lawn & Garden Mower Racing Series competitors to determine who can pick up the most “stuff.”
• Auggiedog designation as the Official Sponsor of the “Auggiedog Pile of Crap Mower Award" to be awarded to the STA-BIL Lawn and Garden Mower Racing Series Driver deemed to have the worst looking mower during the 2012 STA-BIL Keeps Gas Fresh Finals.
• Auggiedog presence within the 3-Race STA-BIL Racing telecasts on Fox Sports Net “Race Freaks” airing this fall.

“Auggiedog is our first international partner and a perfect match for the STA-BIL Series because we don’t mow where dogs go” said Bruce Kaufman, “Mr. Mow It All” USLMRA Founder & President. “For 20 years lawn mower racers have been bringing their dogs to the track and sometimes things get, um…poopy. Racers and power tool enthusiasts are dumping praise on Auggiedog technology for its ability to quickly pick up after man’s best friend. The ‘Stool Tool’ is cool.”

Additional sponsors include K&N Filters, FaceLube®, the high performance anti-aging skin care technology for masculine men and WheeliesTM Tractor Wheel Covers.
