Portable and hygienic, Dogpot offers a handy and convenient way to clean up dog excrement without the need to touch it.

Dogs are an important part of many people’s lives. They make the most wonderful friends and can be important partners. However, it can be inconvenient when your dog excretes in public, as the excrement may be difficult to dispose of. It is common practice for responsible dog owners to clear the dog’s excrement by picking it up with paper or a plastic bag and throwing it in a bin. By
combining the actions of picking up and disposal, clearing of excrement could be more effective and convenient.

Dogpot has been designed as a simple and convenient excrement disposal product, which saves the dog owner the hassle of carrying waste disposal bags and having to physically touch the excrement. Besides being easy to handle, precise, portable and convenient, Dogpot is also hygienic. Made with paper, Dogpot is lightweight and recyclable. It comes in neatly folded packages, which allows the dog owner to easily fit them in their pocket. It is simple to use – open the lever, pick up the excrement and throw the entire package away (or recycle the paper). The lever also functions as handles, so the dog owner is able to carry the package until a bin is located.
