Meet: SusieAge: 27Dog: ChicaGraduate Student at NYUEnvironmentaly ConsciousStyle Savvy

Susie’s a dog lover through and through. When she was accepted to NYU for graduate school, Chica was coming with her, no questions asked. Appartment living in New York is cramped though, and she walks with Chica everyday but is not a big fan of pooper scooping with the old bag and hand method. She looked online at other options but nothing was small and easy to take along on walks. Additionally, all the current scoopers looked to much like industrial tools and would be out of place in Susie’s stylsihly small stuido appartment.

Scoop

Turn

Scoop does it’s job in just four easy steps. 1) Scoop the poop with the top shell into the built in bag in the base shell. 2) Close the shells together. 3) Twist the shells to zip the bag closed!4) Dispose the biodegradable bag!

Dispose

Scoop has it’s own built in biodegradable bags in the base shell. Scoop comes with 20 preinstalled, with a replacement pack of 20 bags included. Extra bags are available at most pet stores and online.

With a simple twisting motion of the shells, Scoop cinches the bag shut, keeping the waste from coming in contact with the shell and making disposal as easy as removing the bag and throwing it away. Since the bags are biodegradable, they can be composted without any extra steps!
