Local Dog Owners Given The Chance To Clean Up |
 Pets at Home in Milton Keynes launches 'Poopod' in time for Poop Scoop WeekNational Poop Scoop Week runs from 23rd - 28th June and with over 900 tonnes of dog poop being deposited in Britain every day, complaints about ‘it’ have created a big stink in Milton Keynes but now help is at hand with the launch of the Poopod, a clever all in one device that includes a dog lead attached to a bag dispenser with a sealed container. This allows dog owners to dispose of their dog’s mess discreetly without the smell following them home. The Poopod is available at the Pets at Home store in Milton Keynes and manager Carol Grimsley is expecting it to be a big seller: “According to the Department of the Environment, embarrassment when carrying a warm, squishy bag of dog droppings is the reason given by 90% of those who still won’t clean up after their dog. This new product makes the task convenient, simple and clean so there is no excuse.”  A dog loving British family from Darlington, the Bells, invented the Poopod - which is being described as the ‘ultimate accessory for responsible dog owners’ - when their 15 year old daughter made it clear that carrying a smelly, steamy bag full of dog poop when walking her Yorkshire terrier was not good for her image!“The Poopod comes in two sizes,” explains Carol, “ensuring that dogs of all sizes can have owners who are free from embarrassment when they take a walk on the wild side. There’s even a pink one for the fashion conscious! It is only £12.99 and is in our store now so you can be one of the first in Milton Keynes to lead the way to a cleaner, sweeter smelling dog walk.” “We’ve even got biodegradable poop bags made from corn starch that are compostable so there really is no reason for people not to make an effort to make dog walking areas in Milton Keynes clean and environmentally friendly.” |
