Best Pooper Scoopers for 2021

As seen on Dragon’s Den, the Handiscoop is a truly devastating weapon in the fight against dog poop.

Using a handy trigger system to open and close a toothed head, this scoop also comes with an elasticated head strap, meaning you can store stool by locking and sealing the device between pick-ups. This undoubtedly makes it the best option for people with more than one muck-making mutt.

And while standard pooper scoopers require you to ‘re-load’ between cleaning up messes, the Handiscoop allows you to amazingly attach three bags to the head at once, so you’re always ready to pluck up dung.

Handiscoop is also available in 40cm or 80cm lengths, catering to both owners who struggle to bend down and those who don’t like the fuss of carrying a long scooper.

Although pooper scoopers are a fantastic invention, walking around the park with a huge clunky bit of kit is never practical.

But while many devices on the market tend to be large, beastly contraptions, this handy little scooper from RoyalCare helps take all the weight off your shoulders when it comes to catching droppings! Coming in the form of a simple scoop jaw mechanism, RoyalCare’s device is designed to be handheld and comes with a clip so you can simply hang it off your belt, stroller or even a dog leash, so there’s no need to lug around a huge rake!

Other features include a waste bag dispenser for convenience, and an extendable and retractable base, meaning you’re always prepared for unexpected mega messes! To use, merely place a plastic bag over the jaws and grab your pup’s business without getting your hands dirty!

If you’re simply looking for a practical way to avoid picking up poop with your hands, Pedigree’s Easi Scoop is probably the simplest and easiest to use scooper out there!

And due to its plain design, probably the cheapest as well!

Coming with 20 free waste bags, Pedigree’s device is a simple open and shut plastic clasp which allows bags to be easily fitted around the jaws. It’s best for owners who don’t see the need for a proper scooper, but will admit that picking up loose stools with your hand and a waste bag is never fun!

Best of all, the scoop is also very small, meaning it’s perfectly portable for dog walks and can easily slot in a pocket without weighing you down!

For owners who are particularly averse to getting down and dirty, the Arms Length pooper scooper allows you to pick up poop from a much more tolerable distance.

In practice, this scooper is actually more of a raking device, coming in the form of two poles with detachable pan and rake heads for easy cleaning. This makes it a lot more useful for home gardens & businesses rather than something to bring on walks. Its a particularly popular device in veterinary practices and grooming parlours and is best at tackling mess on patios, grass, sand and floors.

Telescopic handles allow you to increase and decrease the length of the devices, so you can get as far away as you desire and avoid bending down. This also makes it much easier to store!

Sometimes you just can’t beat a good old dustpan and brush action!

Suitable for use on grass, which a few others on the market can’t cope with, this pooper scooper is extra long which saves your back.

You can also pick up from concrete, gravel or any other surface. The comfortable grip means it is easy to hold and control, and the jaws are strong so you’ll only have to pick up once. When you’re finished, fold up the handle so you can store or transport it easily.
