Here's the scoop... on poop

No one enjoys picking up dog poo. It's the responsible thing to do, but certainly not very pleasant.

Even though it can be hard to find joy while you're awkwardly bending down to grab what your pup left you, I've finally found a way to make scooping your dog's poo a rewarding experience!

Our new go-to for scooping poo are these wonderful little baggies with a purpose from the Gemma Rose Project.

The bags themselves make the entire process so much nicer.

Unlike traditional plastic bags, our bags contain a food-grade additive which when placed in the proper environment will break down by way of oxo-biodegradation. (They're biodegradable!)

Each bag is rose scented and when the bag is tied shut, all I smell is the nice floral scent!

My fiance took the boys out for a walk for me the other day and made a point to say "those bags actually smell really nice." If he made that comment, I know it's not just a crazy-dog-lady thing to say!

The bags have little easy-tie handles which are great for a clumsy person like me! I no longer have the problem of having to double bag or walk around with a half-tied bag.

Not only are the bags themselves great to use, but each purchase makes a huge difference in saving the lives of animals. They donate $1 per box of poop bags sold and make additional donations for veterinary care and other expenses for dogs in animal shelters. Check out their project page to learn more about how they help dogs with each purchase.

If you like helping dogs and would like to make your poop scooping a little more pleasant, I highly recommend the gemma rose project for all of your poopie bag needs!
