“In days of yore when knights were bold and toilets weren’t invented. They did their load upon the road and rode away contented”
Let’s face it, one of the happiest days in a dogs parent life is the day that we get the little bundle of joy. We hold it, we cuddle it, and we play with it. We plan for its future and we make a checklist of what we may need to take care of its need’s;
- A Warm bed
- Feeding and drinking bowls
- Food
- A collar and a leash
- Some play toys
- Some chew toys
- Maybe a warm weather proof jacket or coat.
And then it’s time for its first big milestone, its first walk around the neighborhood, so you can show off your new best four-legged friend.
Everything is going fine and all is right with the world. It is curious about the world around it. So many new things, so many smells. Its tail is swishing happily as it scamps along joyfully at your feet. You are both so happy and excited.
But then, it starts to sniff the grass, walks a few steps more and sniffs some more, you are confused, you are looking down anxiously, looking around at other people passing, noticing how they are admiring your new friend, all eyes are on you and your puppy.
But what is about to happen?
And happen it does, nature calls to your little friend and he drops his load upon the road, or right there on the sidewalk in front of all the neighbors and passerby’s, and he tries to walk away contented.
You panic, you hope that nobody is paying to close attention. Somehow dog cleanup was not one of the items high on your list of necessary things to carry for those inevitable emergencies that all dogs are going to have. So you promise yourself that next time you will be prepared.
Today, we live in a world of rules.I suppose necessary so that we can enjoy a high degree of civilization. If you live in a town or a city, then local ordinance will dictate that it is the responsible owner that must clean up after their pet or face a penalty or a fine. No matter where we go today with our pets, the park, the beach, around the local neighborhood, along city sidewalks, those ordinances will apply.
We as humans have the convenience of indoor plumbing and flushing toilets to take care of our bodily movements. But alas not so our pets. We must clean-up after them, like it or not.
When I was a kid, and being a boy, then around my house I was assigned the job of “chief pooper scooper” and so from a young age, I learned the value of why it was necessary to clean up a pets movements. To-day it is even more so, as we now live in a world that is not only more crowded with people and things, but also more crowded with pets, especially dogs.
It does not have to be such a chore anymore to “own” the responsibility of cleaning up after your pet, even though it is sometimes easier just to dart off quickly if nobody saw you (and I am guilty of this sometimes).
If you follow a few simple rules then it will become second nature:
At Your Home
- Buy a scoop pan and blade with handle at your local hardware store. Use this to pick up after the dog at least every other day, leave it outside for convenience and hygiene.
- Learn where your dog routinely does its business around the yard or garden, encourage it to always go to these areas.
- Hose off the area every few days, especially in hotter climes and summertime, to prevent flies and bugs.
On Your Walk or at the Park or Beach
- Bring your own supply of poop bags
- Encourage the dog to go on grass if possible, and not on sidewalks.
- Dump the waste bag in a trash can, not on a curb or at the side of the road
Convenient and well-designed products now make it a simple matter to carry your own supply of Eco-friendly and environmentally safe dog poop bags with you no matter where you go, like our bone poop bag dispenser with 21 rolls of poop bags.
Hang it from the dogs collar or leash, or carry it on your belt or backpack for extra convenience.

They even have room for other things like cell-phones and your dogs favorite treats.
Even for walking at night, when it is sometimes hard to see where the dog has gone, then our new retractable leash with built in flashlight 
and poop bag dispenser is the ideal solution.
and poop bag dispenser is the ideal solution.
