Pooper Scoopers
Like every other animal on the planet, all dogs need to do their business somewhere sooner or later. Responsible owners should always pick up their own dog's mess and dispose of it properly and hygenically, whether in public areas or in their own back gardens or yards. It is simply not acceptible to leave dog poo to degrade naturally, especially where children may be playing. The simplest method of dealing with dog mess is to simply pick it up using a plastic bag, which is then tied and placed in an outside bin. Unfortunately, some people are more sensitive than others in this department, especially if the mess is fresh. Whereas some will remain unfased by this, others can be sent gagging by the ordeal. Luckily, there are products on the market that can help.

Poop Freeze - for those still using bags
If you are simply using bags, there can be nothing worse than the feel of warm, squishy dog mess between your fingers. Urghh! Poop Freeze by Bramton is a handy spray that freezes fresh dog poo on the spot, providing an innovative and much easier way to collect pet waste. Simply spray onto solid waste, and within ten seconds a white film forms to solidify the offending material, making it much easier to collect and dispose of while also eliminating nasty odours. Suitable for dog, cat and bird waste, Poop Freeze does not harm vegetation and is environmentally friendly.
Size: 115ml.
Dog Waste Bags
The majority of people still mainly use waste bags. This could simply be because they are easy to carry and obviously don't require any cleaning afterwards. Dog Waste Bags by Scot-Petshop Ltd are 100% biodegradable, meaning they are environmentally friendly. These 15 micon thick bags come in packs of 500 Bags (10 packs of 50 bags) and have easy-to-tie handles.
Size: 15 micron thick.
We have tried all three of these products, and for us, we like the convenience of using the bags with or without the freeze spray.
