Poof & Scoop

Out of the Woods manufactures three different types of Pet and Animal Bedding.  All are completely organic and free of any chemicals.

Poof N Scoop is our specialized, pelleted horse (or other large animals) bedding.  It is manufactured only from residue remaining as a bi-product of our forest restoration sawmill and consists of virgin Ponderosa Pine (possibly a bit of Douglas Fir) wood.

Why Poof N Scoop?  Because that describes how you use it.  Since there are no additives or adhesives in pellet bedding, upon becoming wet, the pellets “poof” as they return to sawdust.  This allows the user to see where the animal did his “business” and remove the wet area.  On the other hand, wood shavings get blended together and make finding the area that needs to be removed very difficult.  The result?  Pellets last longer!  Periodically simply add another bag or two to the existing pellets to maintain a proper depth of about three inches.

Some people actually prefer to spread Poof N Scoop throughout the stall and then wet it down with a hose.  This is a great alternative and is still an upgrade over shavings. 

When using shavings, your animal is always at risk of stepping on a splinter or small stick that made it through the manufacturing process.  The wood used for pellets is ground down to 3/8″ or less prior to going through the pellet mill.  No sticks can get through a pellet mill and due to the pressure and friction heat generated in the pelleting process, no bugs or germs can survive either.
