Dog Waste Management System

Any dog owner will tell you that cleaning up after a dog can be a tricky problem. Typically dogs move their bowels one to three times a day, depending on the size, breed and feeding habits of the dog. Usually the bigger the dog, the more dog poop you will have to clean up.

Having a dog waste management system is essential for any dog owner. Depending on where you live, it is the law to pick up after your dog in a public area, if you don't you may be fined hundred's or even thousand's of dollars.

While many pet owners routinely clean their yards, or pick up after their dog on a walk with the standard plastic or supermarket paper bag; alternatives do exist. Your local pet store can give you valuable information on the best dog waste management products and how to implement a suitable dog waste management system that works for you and your pet.

Pooper Scoopers and Bag Waste removal

Plastic dog pooper scoopers have been on the pet market for several decades. These plastic devices have a long handle with an enclosed square plastic end. When your dog poops, a lever opens up the box end allowing you to scoop up the poop without it touching your hands. While this is quick and effective, you then need to dump the dog poop somewhere, and your household or local park's garbage can presents a smelly problem. Bare faecal matter can be exposed, and then you have to wash the pooper scooper!

Another popular way to avoid getting dog waste on your hands is to use specially made dog pooper scooper plastic bags. Sold at local pet stores, these bags are made with stronger plastic than your regular supermarket bag. Less chances of spillage will occur, and as these bags often come with built in deodorizers there is less smell when you dispose of them. If you favour this method, try and buy the biodegradable kind, and keep our environment safe.
