Not the nicest of subjects but now I dont have my own fields for her to run in I need to be sorted.  So far I have just carried a small plastic bag, but what does everyone else use please.

[bloomer]

surely you need BIG plastic bags :-D


we just use baby nappy sacks as they are cheaper than poo bags...

Same here, Morrisons!  Every pocket in my house has a bag in it I think

We use nappy bags for walks as they are so cheap and plentiful.
At home we use a rake and horse poop scoop.

[JulieWall]

I use a plastic scoop made from a 2ltre bleach bottle and either flush the contents or fling them into the woods to feed the trees.
Maybe a biodegradable poop scoop bag would be the best idea and as you won't want to overtax the portaloo system in Thebus perhaps you could bury the stuff by the roadside if a council bin isn't handy.

Dog poo doesn't bio-degrade like other animals, so best not thrown anywhere.  For instance it CAN carry an organism that causes abortion in sheep and cows, so never leave poo in a field.

We used to have wolfhounds and giant crosses but found their poop almost impossible to pick up with just a bag - way too soft, only a shovel, rake and supermarket carrier bag (carefully checked for holes  ) would do.  Now we have tiny dogs with settled insides it's no problem.  Local councils have free bags available at their offices, and green spaces in towns usually have a red bin for doggie bag disposal.  If you keep a lidded bucket somewhere about your bus, you can dispose of the bags when you find a bin.  Maybe camp sites have them too.

I use small plastic bags. The £1 shops usually have a supply

Feed dried food .......... makes poo picking up much less of a trauma

Agree. Good quality dry food such as hills, eukanuba, Arden grange. High quality so less needed each feed time.  Smaller, harder poop to pick up. Nappy sack or doggy poo bag. We just put it in the general waste if no dog waste bins around.

[Old Shep]

feeding raw gives even better poos - small and dry!  Our council poo bags are the best I've had - big and strong.

[doganjo]

Whatever the diet makes little difference! I've tried both - it's the dogs' internal organs that determine the consistency.

[Old Shep]

doganjo - I have to disagree ( which is rare - I usually agree with your doggy findings!  ). The food determines the poo! Generally poo does get stiffer and drier on raw, just as it does to a lesser extent on good quality kibble compared with cheap stuff.  But I'm not preaching "raw" - that's a personal decision.

This is plantation woodland and will be thick with spruce trees for decades to come. No livestock will be anywhere near it even after that as the only thing to do once the trees are harvested is to plant more.

I'm only going on personal experience - found no difference at all.  Nothing scientific
