As a dog owner who would go through the bones of 20 or so poop bags on a weekly basis, it’s a bit of an increased cost for me but it is a cost I am willing to pay rather than using paper bags which break with the smallest drop of water or light plastic bags which are not able to hold much weight without falling apart. My argument however is that these bags are worth every penny as you are paying for the fact that these bags are so hygienic, of excellent quality and are so easy to use. The bags themselves are not the cheapest and this is likely to be the only reason to deter people away from them. Mutt Mitts are very strong due to the fact that they are double layered so this makes them very weather resistant also. There is no fear whatsoever of poop dropping onto your hand or any part of your body for that matter. It is an extraordinary concept on a hygiene level also. Whilst many bags may be awkward to pick more than one piece of poop at a time, these mitts are able to scoop many pieces using the same bag. These bags are very easy to use as all you have to do is to put your hand into the bag and place the black part of the bag (the scoop) over the poop and you are easily able to pick up the poop with your hand. The scoop itself is actually part of the bag. The mutt mitt is made up of a strong biodegradable bag with a scoop attached the bottom of the bag. Mutt Mitts are without doubt the best poop bag on the market. I have definitely saved the best until last.

Thanks to the help of the Environment Section of Mayo County Council (and especially Teresa & Sharon!) we now have 7 Mutt Mitt Dispensers installed at various locations around Swinford. Our Tidy Towns volunteers twice weekly Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings empty the bins. The dog fouling along our walkways has greatly reduced due to the dog owners picking up after their dogs and using the bins provided.
