For many dog owners walking their dog is one of the best parts of having a canine friend, picking up their dog poop and carrying it with them for the remainder of their walk can often be one of the worst parts. As a response to this there have been a number of pet poop scoops which have been developed to make the picking up and carrying of the poop easier and more hygienic.

When Mandy and Barry Davis first became dog owners they searched around for the ideal pet poop scoop but were disappointed with what they found. Instead of carrying the poop around with them in an inconvenient container or worst still a plastic bag they set about designing and patenting the ultimate dog pooper scooper.

When they started development they spent a great deal of time looking at what was already available to dog owners, working out how it could be improved, and how the task of picking up dog poop while out walking could be as quick, clean, and easy as possible.

So what are the main considerations and features that needed to be included in the perfect dog poop scoop?

Barry ran through the main features of their thought process, which included:

1. Clean - A top priority, making it easy, pleasant and hygienic to pick up the poop.
2. Simple - Something small, neat and inconspicuous. One of the joys of dog walking is being out there in nature and being unencumbered for one of the few times during the day. This excluded a carrier with levers and long handles.
3. Light and portable - On the same theme as above, the pet poop scoop needed to be really easy to carry. You could even get your canine friend to carry their own mess on the way home!
4. Stylish - Stylish enough to encourage your children to pick up the poop was the aim of Barry and Mandy.
5. Hygienic - The bag would need to be easy to wash in case of the any unlikely leakages.
6. Not smelly - No one wants to smell the poop for the remainder of their walk. This was one of the distinct problems to many of the dog poop scoops which are presently on the market.

With all these features included in a pet poop scoop picking up your dog poop should be the most natural thing in the world. No more unhygienic dog fouling on the pavements and no excuse not to be a responsible dog owner.
