Do you use doggy poop bags? I'm going to start walking Bitsy outside in a few weeks (waiting for her second vaccination) and was wondering what you all use to pick up dog poo on your walks? I'm kinda squeemish and I don't mind picking up poo when I can IMMEDIATELY wash my hands, but on walks I'm going to have to carry it for a while.... |
In my community, they have little stands in different places in the grass that have small, thick trash bags to pick it up with, and they have a hidden trash bag where you can toss the little poo bags. It's very handy, and they change the trash everyday... |
We carry the poop bags. Put your hand in the bag, pick up the poop then turn the back inside out, tie the first tie close to the poop, bring the bag back over the poop again and tie off. Your hands don't touch the poop, but if it makes things easier you could just take a little jar of antibacterial gel with you. |
i use sandwich bags to pick up poop. hand never touches the poop cause i use the inside out method like yorkiedaze. |
We use the blue poop bags. I use sandwich bags in a pinch, but I prefer not to "see" it. :eek: My bags are on a little roll in a little case that you can hook to the leash. But sometimes I just tear off a bag and stick it in my pocket. |
Yep, get dark bags so you don't have to see it, and I forgot to mention that I also use the "inside-out" method. LOL :) |

Ditto for us we have a green holder with the roll bags and when done - toss and then I'm using Purel..lol. Also in a pinch - sandwich bags will do. |
If you have a Dollar Tree store in your area, they sell boxes of black pickup bags 50ct/$1. I buy like 6 boxes at a time. We live in an apt and go through a handful of bags a day. I like that these bags aren't see-through and have little handles which make it easier to tie it up when you have to carry it a bit. |
We walk everyday and we USE POOP BAGS!! I think it is a must! We use the little container that attaches to the leash and we also use the "inside out" method of picking up the poo. I even pick it up when we are walking on the beach. (even if we are in area where no one else is!) :animal-pa |
I buy diaper disposal bags at the Dollar Store. There are two different "brands". One brand has 100 bags for $1.00 the other has 50. They work great, are very sanitary, and no smells leak through. |
I use sandwich bags |
My daughter lives in Minneapolis, and there are garbage cans everywhere because everyone's cans are in alleys right near the sidewalk. When she picks up the poo (inside out method) she just puts it in the nearest garbage can. We don't have that convenience. However, if we walk, I carry it home in the little bag. Use inside out method too. By the way, one of the great things about Yorkies is that they have "little poo".:D |
We use the standard poop bags you get at PetsMart. I like that they have a little carrier that you clip onto your leash so you always have the bags with you. Either blue or black so you don't see anything and the inside/out method for picking it up!!!! |
we use the dark green poop bags because my neighborhood requires them. every other household has a pet and thus, each household must pick up their waste. i buy mine from petsmart, as so many others do, but now i think i'll check out the dollar store because it's such a deal! i also use the inside out method and then tie the two ends with a double knot so no smell comes though. :) |

We use either the blue ones on the roll like you all have mentioned, or sometimes I take a plastic Target or grocery bag with us. I use the inside out method ;) as you've all be talking about...if you use a larger plastic bag like a Target bag, you can pick up the first poop, then tie it off in a knot as close to the bottom of the bag, and then you still have enough bag left to pick up after the second dog, and tie it off twice! I just carry it home with us or toss it in the park garbage can. It's kind of the same idea as a diaper genie, if anyone's familiar with how that works. |
I just leave it and walk away like I didn't see anything. Just kidding. I use the Ziploc type sandwhich bags. Once you seal it, you can't smell it. I used to use old grocery bags in an effort to recyle, but the stink was unbearable as my biological trash fills at a much slower rate than my recycle bins (I love my recycle bins). Chris |
I guess I'm off to the dollar store! Thanks guys, I guess I'll go to the dollar store and see about those bags. I saw poop bags at Petsmart and they were pretty expensive (for what they are). And I guess I will be carrying around a bottle of Purel with me ;) |
hmmm, I have never seen these. I will have to go but the dollar store. What dollar store is it? What chain? Quote:

I use the blue bags on the roll also (bags on board) or sandwich baggies in a pinch. I'll have to check out these ones at the dollar store though! I hate spending the money on poop bags lol. |
I use a double paper towel to pick up the poop then wrap it and put it into a sandwich bag and seal. Use 3-4 daily. |
I use the newspaper bag that is around your newspaper. and the out-in-and tie . |
I do. It's no big deal. You put your hands in the bag, grab the poo and turn the bag inside out. NO fuss no muss and you kept the place clean. I buy my poop bag at kv vet supply and I pay a very low cost for the bags. It's the cheapest I have found and they even have a cute little bag you can buy and attach to your leash so you can carry them. The bag comes in several colors. |
I use the same method as everyone here and prefer the darker bags not to see the poo. However, for the squemish (like my hubby), you can always use the poo bag and then tie the poo bag to the leash so YOU don't have to carry it. Also, Kiwi likes wearing her little backpack from Outward Hound and if we are on a long walk, hubby will stick her poo in one of the pockets and make her carry it! |

We just use the sandwich baggies. Usually we just go around the block, so it's not that long that I have to carry the poop. If were going around the neighborhood, there's a garbage can at the beach where I can throw it in. My neighborhood has an open area with just a trail, grass, and an area for BBQ, and this whole area is called a dog park. There are NO trash cans in the place though! The association is always sending newsletters about picking up after your dog (which I agree because no one likes to have dog poop in their yard)..but even to water the grass right after your dog pee's so it doesn't kill the grass, but then they can't even have a garbage can in the dog park! |

The Dollar Tree has the 50 for $100 bags. ????? I think the name of the other dollar store is Just $$ and More -- not sure -- anyway the second store has the 100 for $1.00. Both are clear. Also check in the baby section for diaper disposal bags. :) Some of them are scented. |

I use sandwich bags from Superstore, they are something like $2.97 for 300. If you're worried about handwashing, you can buy small travel sized bottles of Isogel or similar (anti-bacterial hand gel). |
