A vacuum and container assembly is provided for collecting and disposing of dog poop. The vacuum includes a housing with an inlet tube or nozzle. The container assembly includes an outer sleeve and an inner flexible, air permeable bag. The sleeve is open at the rear end so as to fit over the vacuum nozzle, with the bag residing in the nozzle. The front end of the container assembly is temporary closed by flexible fingers. When the vacuum is turned on, the dog poop is suctioned past the fingers into the bag, without touching the vacuum housing or nozzle. The container assembly can then be removed from the nozzle and deposited in a waste receptacle for disposal.

A telescopic pet litter pickup device comprises a hand grip at a first proximate end, telescopic members and a picker at a second end, the picker having three or more arms, the hand grip comprising a picking mechanism and the telescopic members are arranged to extend from a first retracted transport length to a second usage length and/or a third usage length longer than the second usage length. The picking mechanism is arranged to control movement of the arms. The picking mechanism is activated by a trigger and is designed to function in any of the first retracted transport length, the second usage length, and/or the third usage length. The arms define an internal volume in a closed position adapted for receiving a pet faeces. The arms include catches adapted to catch and hold a top elastic litter bag within the internal volume in the closed and open position.

Systems and methods are provided for integrated article dispensers for leashes which provide greater handling and responsiveness. One embodiment is an apparatus is in the form of an article dispenser that includes a first end for coupling with a first tensile member, a second end for coupling with the second tensile member, and a rigid housing between the first end and the second end. The rigid housing defines an internal volume for storing articles, and that further defines an opening. In response to the article dispenser bearing a threshold amount of tension, a centroid of the article dispenser aligns within a threshold distance of being collinear with a force that generates the tension. While the centroid of the article dispenser is within the threshold distance of being collinear, rotation of the system about an axis of the forcer applies less than a threshold torque to the tensile members.

The present invention relates to a novel alongside pet leash multi-purpose pouch capable of holding up to two pet waste bag rolls, as well as keys/cash/credit cards and the like. More particularly, the invention relates to a two sided neoprene pouch with a space in between the two sides that slides into any size and width leash, and it is attached to the leash by embracing it, being longitudinally aligned to said leash, capable of holding two pet waste bag rolls, keys, cash, or any smaller trivial item that might come in need when utilizing the product for its means.

A re-usable pooper scooper device (1) and a dog leash (101) comprising said pooper scooper device (1) are disclosed. The pooper scooper device (1) is easily manufactured, compact and less cumbersome to carry than those of the prior art.

The present invention relates to a novel device and method for the retention of bags containing pet waste. The device is suitable for attachment to most types of pet leashes. The device consists of a single piece of material that is retained via friction to the leash, and which features a channel for the easy insertion and retaining of knotted bags of pet waste.

A pet leash attachment comprising a housing attachable to a leash. The housing has a first end, a second end opposing the first end, and at least one side wall extending between the first end and the second end. A first cavity within the housing is configured to store a roll of pet waste bags. An opening extends through the at least one side wall of the housing into the first cavity. A slit extends through the at least one side wall of the housing from the second end. The opening and the slit are radially spaced a distance from one another.
