Dogs use the outdoors to go to the bathroom (most of the time, if you’re lucky). If you have a backyard where your pal is doing his business, you’ll need something to clean that business up. While plenty of people use poop bags if you’re out and about on the town, when it’s your own backyard, you don’t always need to do that. That’s when a pooper scooper can come in handy. You won’t have to pick up the poop with your hands and you’ll be able to dispose of it quickly. If your lawn has become a minefield with doggie doodoo, then any of these scoopers is here to save you.
