A Dog Poop Purse: Epic or Ewww?
While roaming the convention center floor of the enormous 2010 Superzoo Pet Product trade show last week in Las Vegas, I was struck by the number of new companies solely dedicated to making the activity of picking up dog sh*t more convenient and, dare I say, pleasurable.
I am not referring to those companies hawking poop bag dispensers, scented poop bags or bedazzled poop bags, because that was so 2009. This year was all about new devices to enable you to literally pack up your dog's sh*t and take it with you, so that you are left with a "free hand" on your dog walk and therefore avoid the dreaded "swinging plastic poop bag" dilemma that we all occasionally face. Similarly, there is nothing as undignified as waving your hand at a friend or neighbor whilst simultaneously gripping a plastic bag of doggy steamers.
Enter the PoopPac Dog Poop Purse
My favorite find at the show in this new category was the PoopPac. A tough, lightweight case designed to carry both used and unused dog waste bags, leaving you 'hands free' to enjoy your walk. Unlike other companies selling similar concepts, the PoopPac was particularly creative in that in contains an activated charcoal filter to assist in absorbing odors. Other handy compartments allow you to efficiently carry small personal items such as keys, phone, tissues, hand sanitizer etc. Find it at PoopPac.com
