Golden LOVE to go for a long walk. My mom too but she dislikes when I decide to poop. It means that mom has to pick it up and carry a bag of poop on our walk. Most often, there is no trash can/bin nearby. Mom says there’s nothing “fashionable” holding a bag of poop. She was wrong … we received The Fifth Paw and it sure makes carrying poop “trendy”.
It is important to pick up your dog’s poo … Why? 2 Critical Reasons
1) Be a Responsible Dog Owner:
No Exemption! It is your responsibility to pick up after your dog and properly dispose it.
2) Environment and Health Issues:
Leaving poop on the ground can transmit illness to other animals and it attracts flies.
The Fifth Paw fits most medium/large flat style leashes.
Any plastic bags can be used and can easily attached on the clip.
It certainly holds/carries a large poop bag.
To see a closer look of our experience with The Fifth Paw watch below our 49 sec video review. (Just a Warning: You’ll see me poop on the video.)

We Golden LOVE The Fifth Paw. The genius creator is Stephen Longo. It started when he goes walking with his Great Dane Caesar. Stephen had to carry a bag of poop till they got home. He juggled from hand to hand whenever he needed to swap hands on the leash. Not only was it a drag but also made for unsafe walks due to not being in total control of the leash. With all the distractions out there like traffic, strange dogs, Rabbits, Squirrels all tempting dogs to yank on the leash it becomes all the more vital to be in control of the leash. During winter months, carrying poop bag has its disadvantages. From these, Stephen created The Fifth Paw.
Great invention and it sure is very helpful and convenient to carry dog’s poop. The Fifth Paw has 3 clips and it can be use to hold small items. Mom was able to use it to hold the car key (especially if her shorts do not have a pocket). Check out The Fifth Paw website for more information and you can purchase The Fifth Paw via Amazon.
We give The Fifth Paw 4 Golden Paws Up.
Lots of Golden Thanks The Fifth Paw. For sure we will get more noticed on our walks.

I’ve seen these and considered using them even on Jack’s giant size you know what. But, I worried about it waving in his face as we walked, or the bag breaking or getting tangled up when I’m walking Jack AND Maggie – they don’t always go in a straight line and too often I’m untangling a leash over my head and envision…well, you know what I envision. I’ll be interested in hearing others experience – right now I try to get them to go in the yard before our walk so I don’t have to deal with the poop bag trauma.
I saw these online and wanted to get one. Then, I showed my petsitter and she wanted to get one. Now I might actually take the plunge and buy it!!
I, Daisy, am always considerate. I ALWAYS make sure SHE gets to use her poo bags. The others aren’t.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Great review, Sugar! Woofs from Jeffie, Rudy and Rosie
What a great idea and a great review! Thank Baste we kittehz here are inside only kittehz and don’t have such problems.
Hi Sugar,,,,Good review ! I guess we’re lucky,,, where we go for walks most of the time. They have posts that have disposable pooper-picker-upper-baggies. You just pick up—then turn the bag inside out and tie up. There are also plenty of trash cans arouind also. And anyone who doesn’t cleaqn up their pups messes,,,well,,,three poops on them,,,they’re the worst.
That’s a great idea. Anything that makes it easier for people to be responsible is a great idea as far as I’m concerned
Sugar my mom could kiss you 10000 times – that’s the thingy we need. We are always on the scout for a trashcan when we have a “surprise bag”. Thanks for this great idea. Have a golden Saturday
OMD OMD THAT is just pure GENIUS. We all gotta POOP. Pooping is GRRRREAT… butt it MUST be treated like a TREASURE and Picked up when we are finished. And what a super way of dealing with it … fur the REST of the walk. BRILLIANT.
WE love EVERYTHING to do with Pooping. EXCEPT when our Poop Shooters go WILD. Even though we only poop on our OWN PROPERTY… our mom ALWAYS picks it up. She says it is the RIGHT thingy to do.
This is a fabulous idea! I have to admit, Titan is very private with his pooping. He’s never pooped on a walk, which I’m thankful for. 😉 However, now marking every other tree and lightpole is a different story. hehe Great item!
That is a wonderful invention! We are going to have to get one. And we could not say AMEN loud enough about people picking up poop. Seems when we go out there is always some other dogs poop left somewhere and most every time MOM picks it up too.
Blessings,
Gosoe
That is freaken awesome, I love it! Great pictures and video!
Hey Sugar!
Wow, what a cool product! That’s a great way for peeps to handle the poop without having to handle the poop! BOL Very fashionable indeed.
BTW: Thanks for joining me in my Water Mania event today! Golden love your entry pix.
Grr and a Wet Woof,

That is a great thing! Love it!
Hi Sugar, I think this is a very good invetnion; I’ve seen one lady that has a small “little girls purse” that she puts her poop bag in from her dog-but to be honest I thought that was pretty silly. She said she didn’t want people to know she was carrying a poop bag when she stopped to visit. With my being so cautious about other dogs when we are on our walk, this would make it easier if I didn’t need to hold the bag.
Thanks for this review.
Have a pawsome weekend.

What a neat invention! We need to have mom look into this. Thanks, Sugar!
Love ya lots♥
Mitch and Molly
I wish we’d had this when we lived in a subdivision–But your post is a good reminder!!
I hope you all are doing well, and I hope you all enjoy your weekend!!
What a cool product! We see lots of bags of poop that people have dropped or sat down and forgot so this would be great for that! I always manage to poop just when we passed the last trash can, mom hates it too! Love Dolly
Hubby doesn’t pick up Little Bit’s poop as he can capture it as it’s coming out. Amazing to watch. Whatever works I say.
Have a woof woof day Sugar. My best to your mom. 🙂
wow, thisis great… we always had to carrry it until we go home… i wish everyone would pick up poo
I sooooooooooo loved this, also love the concept and LOVE LOVE LOVED your video!
Great video, again! Mom has gotten so used to holding a poop bag I’m not sure she even needs a holder. We have a lot of trash cans around which helps, but the only time she has much trouble is when we have friends staying over and she has 3 leashes and a poop bag, that can get tricky. It is an item that we have to look into. Sorry about that pic of you pooping, Sugar! Hope your mom compensated you well for that 🙂
It is hard to juggle everything, especially since I also carry a water bottle for Rita. This would be helpful! Thanks for the info!
They think of everything! Great photos! Happy Saturday!
The fifth paw is a great idea Sugar. We are lucky we have plenty of bins. Have a super Saturday.
Best wishes Molly
Sugar what a wonderful invention
Hugs
Madi your BFFF
BRILLIANT! JUST BRILLIANT!! OMD, My Ma is the same way, she hates it when I poops at the beginning of our walks, and she has to juggle the poopie bag (which can be rather full….) and ME! This is an amazin’ invention!
Thanks for the heads up Sugar!
Kisses,
Ruby
Very clever invention! Us kitties don’t need it but Mommy will keep it in mind if she ever gets another woofie!
Interesting product Sugar…Momz is thinking whether it might be useful for us…You’ve done a great review and we loved the music on your video…Happy Saturday!
Hope mom doesn’t make us carry our own poop
Benny & Lily
That’s so clever!
That’s a really good idea. Mummy always picks mine up but you’re right about there never being a bin when you need one. Often we see bags that have been left on the ground or in bushes, I guess whoever picked it up gave up on carrying it. At least they wouldn’t have that excuse!
A very impawtent message – thank you! Mom is gonna have to get one of those cuz I like to poop on our walks and runs. But I think mom likes holding onto my poops cuz she always tells me “Good boy”!
Your Pals,

That is very cool. I agree that carrying that bag of poo is not fashionable at all. Duke has a retractable leash though so this wouldn’t work. Guess I’m stuck carrying the bag 🙂
Thank you so much for a great review Sugar! We just may try this!
Xoxo Chloe and LadyBug
Great idea, Sugar. Mom would love something that would hold her phone and keys when she doesn’t have pockets. She wears one of those belly wrap thingies and hates it.

Your mom is right, it’s not very fashionable to carry a bag of poop around on a walk! But your handy dandy holder makes it so much nicer!
I wish everyone picked up after their dogs. There’s a trail near my house that I take my dogs to sometimes. The rules are that you are to pick up after your pets, and they even provide the bags and trash can for it. I still see a lot of dog poo on and next to the trail. I always make a point to bring bags with me, just in case there aren’t any left there, even though I’ve never seen them be out of them.
You will get noticed, I am sure. Maybe the naughty humans who leave the poop on the ground will feel a little guilty about that. Really nice review!
I need a fifth paw. It doesn’t matter how much time Maya and Pierson spend in the back yard before a walk, one of them always ends up stopping to take a crap – it’s almost always Maya.
Sounds like a great idea.
My Mum picks up my poop too, she sometimes even holds the bag near me and the poop lands in it…. I hate this and so I ALWAYS save some for later and catch her out BOL!!!
Delilah always poops like two minutes into the walk and then there I am juggling. Love this product!
I most definitely need to get one of these! The one thing I hate about walks is having to carry the poop bag because there are no bins around.
