13​ ​Ways​ ​to​ ​Pick​ ​Up​ ​Dog​ ​Poop

The​ ​plastic​ ​bag​ ​may​ ​be​ ​king,​ ​but​ ​there​ ​are​ ​other​ ​ways​ ​to​ ​pick​ ​up​ ​dog poop. If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​a​ ​dog,​ ​you​ ​have​ ​dog​ ​poop​ ​to​ ​deal​ ​with​.​ ​There​ ​aren’t​ ​any​ ​good​ ​reasons​ ​for​ ​not picking​ ​up​ ​the​ ​poop​–-​ ​ignoring​ ​it​ ​invites​ ​germs​ ​and​ ​pollutants,​ ​never​ ​mind​ ​the​ ​occasional messy​ ​misstep.​ ​It’s​ ​also​ ​bad​ ​for​ ​the​ ​environment​,​ ​annoys​ ​your​ ​neighbors​,​ ​and​ ​gives​​ ​our​ ​lovable canines​ ​a​ ​bad​ ​name​. We​ ​all​ ​have​ ​to​ ​make​ ​a​ ​habit​ ​of​ ​scooping​ ​dog​ ​poop.​ ​Fortunately,​ ​there​ ​are​ ​lots​ ​of​ ​ways​ ​to​ ​get the​ ​job​ ​done,​ ​and​ ​clever​ ​inventors​ ​come​ ​up​ ​with​ ​new​ ​solutions​ ​all​ ​the​ ​time.​ ​Here​ ​are​ ​13 ways​ ​to​ ​scoop​ ​dog​ ​poop:

1.​ ​Plastic​ ​bag Perhaps​ ​the​ ​most​ ​common​ ​method;​ ​you​ ​simply​ ​slip​ ​a​ ​inverted​ ​plastic​ ​bag​ ​over​ ​your​ ​hand, pick​ ​up​ ​the​ ​pile,​ ​and​ ​then​ ​tie​ ​the​ ​bag​ ​shut​ ​and​ ​toss​ ​into​ ​the​ ​trash. Pro:​​ ​Plastic​ ​bags​ ​are​ ​free​ ​and​ ​easy​ ​to​ ​wad​ ​up​ ​to​ ​fit​ ​in​ ​a​ ​pocket.​ ​Or​ ​you​ ​can​ ​buy​ ​a​ ​style​ ​of leash​ ​that​ ​incorporates​ ​a​ ​stashed​ ​bag,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​Kinn’s​ ​Kangaroo​ ​Plus​​ ​leash. Con:​​ ​Your​ ​dog’s​ ​plastic-sealed​ ​package​ ​may​ ​sit​ ​in​ ​a​ ​landfill​ ​for​ ​several​ ​years,​ ​as​ ​it’s​ ​slow​ ​to decompose.

2.​ ​Pooper​ ​scooper If​ ​you​ ​don’t​ ​like​ ​to​ ​get​ ​up​ ​close​ ​and​ ​personal​ ​with​ ​the​ ​poo,​ ​or​ ​you​ ​have​ ​difficulty​ ​bending over,​ ​a​ ​pooper​ ​scooper​ ​is​ ​for​ ​you.​ ​They’re​ ​sold​ ​at​ ​most​ ​pet​ ​stores;​ ​you​ ​simply​ ​squeeze​ ​the handles​ ​to​ ​scoop​ ​up​ ​the​ ​dog​ ​poop,​ ​then​ ​deposit​ ​it​ ​into​ ​a​ ​more​ ​appropriate​ ​place. Pro:​​ ​A​ ​touch-free,​ ​no-contact​ ​method. Con:​​ ​You’ll​ ​need​ ​to​ ​carry​ ​your​ ​pooper​ ​scooper​ ​along​ ​on​ ​walk,​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​a​ ​bag​ ​to​ ​collect​ ​the waste.

3.​ ​Flushing​ ​dog​ ​poop Many​ ​cities​ ​ban​ ​flushing​ ​of​ ​pet​ ​waste​ ​down​ ​the​ ​toilet,​ ​so​ ​check​ ​your​ ​local​ ​regulations​ ​first. Also,​ ​do​ ​your​ ​research​ ​for​ ​your​ ​home’s​ ​specific​ ​septic​ ​setup.​ ​Once​ ​you​ ​get​ ​the​ ​okay, flushing​ ​can​ ​be​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​more​ ​efficient​ ​and​ ​environmentally​ ​friendly​ ​ways​ ​to​ ​clean​ ​up​ ​dog poop. Pro:​​ ​Safely​ ​eliminates​ ​smell,​ ​germs;​ ​doesn’t​ ​end​ ​up​ ​in​ ​the​ ​landfill. Con:​​ ​You​ ​need​ ​a​ ​foolproof​ ​method​ ​to​ ​carry​ ​the​ ​poop​ ​into​ ​the​ ​house​ ​to​ ​the​ ​nearest​ ​toilet.

4.​ ​Flushable​ ​poop​ ​bags Again,​ ​check​ ​your​ ​local​ ​regulations​ ​and​ ​do​ ​your​ ​research​ ​first,​ ​but​ ​if​ ​flushing​ ​pet​ ​waste down​ ​the​ ​toilet​ ​is​ ​acceptable,​ ​flushable​ ​poop​ ​bags,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​Flush​ ​Puppies​,​ ​make​ ​the​ ​job easier.​ ​Collect​ ​the​ ​dog​ ​ ​with​ ​the​ ​bag​ ​and​ ​flush​ ​both​ ​down​ ​your​ ​toilet. Pro:​​ ​Safely​ ​eliminates​ ​smell,​ ​germs;​ ​doesn’t​ ​end​ ​up​ ​in​ ​the​ ​landfill. Con:​​ ​Buying​ ​flushable​ ​bags​ ​can​ ​be​ ​costly.

5.​ ​Indoor​ ​potty Indoor​ ​potty​ ​areas​ ​designed​ ​for​ ​dogs,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​the​ ​Potty​ ​Patch​,​ ​are​ ​good​ ​alternatives​ ​for high-rise​ ​apartment​ ​dwellers​ ​or​ ​those​ ​that​ ​spend​ ​long​ ​hours​ ​boating​ ​or​ ​away​ ​from​ ​land. Pro:​​ ​Convenient​ ​when​ ​your​ ​dog​ ​can’t​ ​easily​ ​get​ ​outside. Con:​​ ​Needs​ ​to​ ​be​ ​emptied​ ​and​ ​sanitized​ ​regularly.

6.​ ​Designated​ ​doggie​ ​corner

If​ ​you’ve​ ​got​ ​a​ ​spacious​ ​yard,​ ​you​ ​can​ ​train​ ​your​ ​pup​ ​to​ ​go​ ​in​ ​an​ ​out-of-the​ ​way​ ​corner​ ​of​ ​the yard. Pro:​​ ​If​ ​you​ ​choose​ ​a​ ​little-used​ ​area,​ ​you​ ​eliminate​ ​worries​ ​about​ ​stepping​ ​in​ ​the​ ​poop. Con:​​ ​Germs,​ ​odor​ ​and​ ​environmental​ ​problems​ ​persist.​ ​Resulting​ ​parasites,​ ​such​ ​as ringworm​ ​or​ ​roundworm,​ ​can​ ​cause​ ​human​ ​illness.

7.​ ​Burying​ ​dog​ ​poop Scooping​ ​up​ ​the​ ​poo​ ​with​ ​a​ ​shovel​ ​and​ ​burying​ ​it​ ​in​ ​your​ ​yard​ ​can​ ​be​ ​a​ ​good​ ​way​ ​to​ ​get​ ​it out​ ​of​ ​sight. Pro:​​ ​Eliminates​ ​the​ ​poop. Con:​​ ​Labor​ ​intensive;​ ​environmental​ ​issues​ ​may​ ​remain. Note:​ ​avoid​ ​burying​ ​near​ ​vegetation​ ​intended​ ​for​ ​human​ ​consumption.

8.​ ​Wrapping​ ​dog​ ​poop​ ​in​ ​newspaper If​ ​you​ ​oppose​ ​plastic​ ​bag​ ​use,​ ​you​ ​could​ ​wrap​ ​your​ ​collected​ ​waste​ ​tightly​ ​in​ ​newspaper before​ ​disposing​ ​of​ ​it. Pro:​​ ​Repurposes​ ​old​ ​newspapers,​ ​which​ ​decompose​ ​faster​ ​than​ ​plastic. Con:​​ ​Can​ ​be​ ​messy​ ​since​ ​you​ ​can’t​ ​completely​ ​seal​ ​the​ ​newspaper;​ ​needs​ ​to​ ​be​ ​coupled with​ ​a​ ​pickup​ ​method​ ​such​ ​as​ ​a​ ​scooper​ ​or​ ​shovel.

9.​ ​Power​ ​pickup New​ ​solutions​ ​hit​ ​the​ ​market​ ​all​ ​the​ ​time,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​Auggie​ ​Dog​,​ ​a​ ​power​ ​tool​ ​that​ ​picks​ ​up​ ​the pile​ ​for​ ​you​ ​then​ ​releases​ ​it​ ​at​ ​your​ ​discretion.​ ​We​ ​road-test​ ​the​ ​Auggie​ ​Dog​ ​here​.

https://sites.google.com/site/petwasteremovalmichigan/

Pro:​​ ​You​ ​don’t​ ​have​ ​to​ ​touch​ ​the​ ​waste​ ​or​ ​do​ ​any​ ​bending. Con:​​ ​Product​ ​needs​ ​to​ ​remain​ ​charged​ ​and​ ​kept​ ​clean.

10.​ ​Freezing​ ​dog​ ​poop No,​ ​not​ ​in​ ​your​ ​freezer.​ ​Aerosol​ ​sprays,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​Poop​ ​Freeze​,​ ​will​ ​firm​ ​up​ ​the​ ​poop,​ ​making​ ​it easier​ ​to​ ​pick​ ​up. Pro:​​ ​Eliminates​ ​odor;​ ​helpful​ ​when​ ​your​ ​dog​ ​has​ ​loose​ ​stools. Con:​​ ​Costly​ ​to​ ​keep​ ​up​ ​with;​ ​needs​ ​to​ ​be​ ​coupled​ ​with​ ​another​ ​pick-up​ ​solution.

11.​ ​Dropping​ ​dog​ ​poop​ ​in​ ​a​ ​methane​ ​digester​ ​to​ ​power​ ​a streetlight Collected​ ​dog​ ​waste​ ​can​ ​be​ ​converted​ ​into​ ​methane​ ​gas,​ ​which​ ​can​ ​be​ ​used​ ​for​ ​fuel. Methane​ ​powered​ ​streetlights​ ​have​ ​been​ ​established​ ​in​ ​dog-populated​ ​areas,​ ​where​ ​owners drop​ ​waste​ ​into​ ​a​ ​methane​ ​digester,​ ​which​ ​does​ ​the​ ​rest. Pro:​​ ​Safely​ ​eliminates​ ​the​ ​poop​ ​and​ ​creates​ ​an​ ​alternative​ ​fuel​ ​source. Con:​​ ​You’ll​ ​need​ ​time,​ ​effort,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​financial​ ​plan​ ​to​ ​convince​ ​your​ ​town​ ​to​ ​set​ ​up​ ​methane digester.

12.​ ​Compost​ ​the​ ​dog​ ​poop If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​the​ ​space​ ​in​ ​your​ ​yard,​ ​you​ ​can​ ​purchase​ ​a​ ​dog-specific​ ​compost​ ​bin​ ​such​ ​as the​ ​Doggie​ ​Dooley​,​ ​which​ ​acts​ ​like​ ​a​ ​canine​ ​septic​ ​tank​ ​and​ ​breaks​ ​down​ ​the​ ​waste​ ​safely. Pro:​​ ​Eliminates​ ​germs​ ​and​ ​pollutants. Con:​​ ​Some​ ​cost​ ​and​ ​effort​ ​to​ ​set​ ​up;​ ​doesn’t​ ​solve​ ​the​ ​problem​ ​when​ ​on​ ​walks​ ​or​ ​outings.

https://sites.google.com/site/petwasteremovalmichigan/

Note:​ ​Never​ ​add​ ​dog​ ​waste​ ​to​ ​a​ ​compost​ ​bin​ ​that’s​ ​intended​ ​for​ ​garden​ ​use;​ ​only​ ​use​ ​in​ ​a dog-specific​ ​bin.

13.​ ​Call​ ​a​ ​specialist You​ ​can​ ​sign​ ​up​ ​with​ ​a​ ​dog-waste​ ​removal​ ​company,​ ​which​ ​will​ ​send​ ​someone​ ​to​ ​your home​ ​at​ ​whatever​ ​interval​ ​you​ ​specify​ ​and​ ​clean​ ​up. Pro:​​ ​You​ ​don’t​ ​have​ ​to​ ​do​ ​it! Con:​​ ​Expensive​ ​to​ ​keep​ ​up​ ​with,​ ​needs​ ​to​ ​be​ ​coupled​ ​with​ ​another​ ​method​ ​when​ ​you’re​ ​on walks​ ​or​ ​outings.
