Recycled Skooperbox for Nicer Doggie Walks — Win Yours!

The upcoming dog days of summer are difficult enough without trying to figure out how to best dispose of your dog’s poop when out on walks. Just in time for summer, we have a great solution for you, and it doesn’t involve a plastic bag.

No more feeling warm, squishy dog poop through plastic bags! With the ergonomic Skooperbox, made with 100% recycled paper, you can execute a convenient, no-touch poop scooping on your next walk at the dog park.

After all, you aren’t supposed to leave that stuff out there for someone else to step on.

Another great thing about the Skooperbox is that it completely biodegrades in about one month. You can also attach it to your dog’s leash for hands-free transport. I’ll show you some detailed instructions in just a bit, but first, let’s talk about the contest.

Paw Luxury, an eco-friendly pet shopping site, is sponsoring this contest to give away five boxes of Skooperbox (30 count).

The winners may choose which size they want: medium or large. The contest is a perfect risk-free way to try this new earth-friendly dog poop disposal system. The problem with using plastic bags for this task is that you’re mummifying doggie poo in a bag that isn’t going to break down in the landfill. It’s better to take any plastic bags you may have to recycling.

Paw Luxury is a global company, so this is going to be a really fun contest that’s open to anyone, anywhere. (Except me and Jennifer, of course.) Please see complete details on how to enter at the end of this post.

You now also have an excuse to shop a great green pet products site. That’s right. I want you to look around Paw Luxury, then tell me what product you like best. Why am I asking this? For one, it gets boring for us to read 100 replies that say, “Enter me, please.”

Also, we want to know what products you like best in order to gauge possible future product reviews or giveaways. If you want to add any fun dog poop stories, please do, but mention a favorite product as well. You won’t gross me out — I’ve seen and scooped every imaginable healthy and unhealthy dog poop size and form at my former animal hospital job. (Jennifer might be another story though!)
