The 10 Best Pooper Scoopers To Clean Up After Your Pup

A pup, a rake, and a bag on the grass.

As dog parents, we may get weird looks whenever we’re enthusiastic about pooper scoopers out of all things. That’s because a lot of them can be…well, crappy.

It’s no secret that picking up after our dogs isn’t glamorous by any means, but it’s an essential duty. (No pun intended.) And while it’s not the picking up poop part we’re exactly thrilled for, it’s whatever helps us get the job done efficiently that excites us.
