Method and apparatus including a scoop having an elongated frame with handle at the top for manipulating the the bottom of the scoop along the ground at the location of excrement to be scooped. The frame includes a bifurcated double pole section to which a disposable bag may be attached. The bag has an opening which faces the front of a rotatable paddle located at the end of the single pole part of the frame. The rotatable paddle is operated via a switch located adjacent the top handle. A shield is positioned about the paddle to prevent excrement being directed rearwardly of the frame. The rotatable paddle includes at least one but preferably two and more preferably three paddles which are spaced about a central axle which itself extends perpendicular to the single pole part of the frame.

One example embodiment is a waste collection and storage device, comprising: (a) a disposable container with a body and a base; (b) a plurality of panels extended from the base, each of the panels has a panel distal end extending away from the body, the panel distal ends of the panels pointing inwardly and defining an opening therebetween in an open state; and (c) at least one locking mechanism disposed on at least one of the panels. When a force is applied on the body to the panel distal ends against a target surface having a waste, the panel distal ends move inwards towards each other and in turn close up the opening to form a closed state, and the body and the panels together create a cavity, such that the waste can be scooped up from the target surface and accommodated within the cavity. The locking mechanism locks the panels in the closed state to store the waste within the cavity. Other example embodiments are described herein. In certain embodiments, the waste collection and storage device is simple in structure and cost-efficient in manufacturing.

A toilet for animal, including: an upper container having a plurality of holes formed on a bottom portion, the plurality of holes penetrating in an up-down direction; a lower container that includes a receiving section receiving excrement that has passed through the plurality of holes, gravity of the upper container not acting on the lower container; and an output unit that outputs a signal changing according to an amount of the excrement received by the receiving section.

Embodiments of the invention as described relate to containment and transport of bagged dog feces to a place for disposal. Transporting dog feces is an unpleasant task and the embodiments described herein relate to a discrete and easy to use holder that attaches to the handle of a dog leash. The embodiments of holders are designed and configured for easy attachment and removal from a dog leash. The holders can be releasably secured to the handle of a dog leash at any desired distance for the leash handle. The holders typically comprise opposing convex sides that come together to form a solid base and top, and have perforated sides for ventilation.

Proposed is a portable carrier bag for disposing pet waste in which a tissue storage space portion storing tissues or wet tissues and a pet waste storage space portion storing pet waste are separated from each other, an opening and closing member to open and close the tissue storage space portion is formed of a magnet, a fastener is installed along both lateral surfaces and a lower surface of the pet waste storage space portion, openings are formed on the rear surface of the pet waste storage space portion, a loop for connection with a pet leash is formed in the center of the top surface of the pet waste storage space portion or loops for connection with a shoulder strap are formed on the upper parts of both lateral surfaces thereof, and the portable carrier bag is made of a synthetic resin material.

A waste bag for animal excrement. The waste bag may include independent drawstrings for cinching the bag.

A tool for removing and holding dog excrement from both grass, and other non-grass surfaces, comprised of a pole handle at the upper portion and a set of beveled tines and collection pan on the lower end. The handle is connected at the rear of the collection pan at a an angle which aids in placement of the fork in the best possible position for leverage and moving smoothly beneath the feces. The separated beveled tines allow easy penetration of grass or debris beneath the feces, which is moved over the beveled tines and into the collection pan with a slight tip of the fork. The collection pan is formed with raised front, back and sidewalls, which recess the collection pan to hold the gathered feces. The collection pan is capable of containing considerable feces prior to being emptied into an appropriate trash receptacle.

An animal waste collection and transport device having a container and a handle. The container includes an opening configured to receive animal waste. The handle has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is adapted to be grasped by the operator. The second portion has a lid and a waste scraping tool such as a shovel, hoe, or rake and is used to help move the animal waste into the container. The device includes an attachment assembly selectively movable between a first position where the container and handle are attached to each other and a second position wherein the container and handle are detached (or detachable) from each other so the scraping tool can be used to direct animal waste into the container. In the first position the waste scraping tool is positioned inside the container and the lid covers the opening in the container to seal the scraping tool and any animal waste inside the container.

A pet waste collection device for collecting and discarding animal waste is provided. The device comprises a shaft with a vacuum head mounted to the shaft. A vacuum motor is mounted within the vacuum head. A nozzle is connected to the shaft and the vacuum motor provides a suction to the second end of the nozzle. A retractable claw member having a plurality of extendable claw fingers extends from the nozzle. A waste bag is positioned within the claw member. An access port is formed in the vacuum handle. Upon collection of the pet waste in the waste bag, the claw fingers close as the claw member retracts into the nozzle, the open end of the waste bag closing shut. The bagged pet waste is suctioned by the vacuum motor through the shaft to a waste bag receptacle within the vacuum handle and removable from the receptacle through the access port.

A pet waste collector includes an elongated handle extending between a rear end and a front end, a loop situated forwardly of the front end configured so that a waste disposal bag can be fit within the loop, and a (preferably bendable) stem situated between the handle front end and the loop. A pet owner can grasp the handle and situate the loop (and the bag therein) beneath the rear of a dog as the dog squats to excrete waste, thereby catching the waste within the bag. The waste-filled bag may then be removed from the loop for disposal. Bending the stem allows the loop (and bag) to be oriented as the pet owner desires for visibility, and for ease of catching the waste.
