VIDEO: 'Piqapoo' dog bag clip offers hands-free poop clean up
Published in Cats & Dogs News
NEW YORK (UPI) -- A crowdfunded silicone clip is looking to help dog owners clean up after their pets without using their hands.
The Piqapoo clip, funded by Kickstarter, is used to attach a plastic dog bag to the pet's tail to collect their feces while they walk.
"The Piqapoo has a soft clip and a durable collection bag beneath, that comfortably attaches to a dog's tail, so when your dog does its business, all of the poop will fall directly into the bag with no mess and no leakage," Piqapoo said in a press release. With just the press of a button, dog owners can release the bag directly into the trash, making the cleanup process easy and sanitary.
The clips feature silicone cushioning and come in five different sizes in order to fit a variety of different dogs.
Piqapoo surpassed its Kickstarter goal of $15,000, raising $35,057 from 443 backers.
Units are expected to ship by April 2017, with a single Piqapoo and 60 collections bag being offered to early Kickstarter supporters for $29.
