It’s Summer Time! Exciting time of the year to enjoy the outdoors with your family and your dogs. The FUN gets ruined because of un-scooped dog poop. Dog Poop smells and stepping in poop is nuisance.
During hot summer months, dog poop can be extremely unpleasant.
WHY? The Summer heat and humidity accelerate the smell of dog poop. As a responsible dog parent, pick up your dog’s poop. Leaving dog poop is not only hazardous to you, your dog’s health but also to the environment.
Two Important Reminders
1) Dog poop is not a fertilizer and 2)
Summer rain washes dog wastes and pollutes water.
One reason The Fifth Paw is permanently attached on Sugar’s leash.
The Fifth Paw is a handy dog walking accessory, that clips on a flat leash. The Fifth Paw offers a convenient way to carry your dog’s waste, especially when trash bins are not accessible. It can carry up to 3 bags, great if you have multiple dogs.
We invite you read our original The Fifth Paw review: No POOP Fairy, Just The Fifth Paw
What else is on Sugar’s The Fifth Paw? Nowadays, we also carry an extra poop bag and a portable bowl, from Slurpablowls. We were introduced to Slurpabowls through May PetBox. It can hold about 2 cups of water. It is light and thin and so easy to slip on The Fifth Paw. Both Slurpabowls and The Fifth Paw are available at PetBox.
Golden Thanks to my fellow poop scoopers Oz The Terrier and Pawsitively Pets. We invite you to join us to raise awareness on the importance of picking up after your dog, #ScoopThatPoop. The hop is open till Thursday 6/19. Here’s you chance to win a The Fifth Paw

Good Morning, Sugar! Oh, you are so right about the heat and humidity making dog poop stink even worse! With 3 dogs in the house, I can definitely attest to that!! But, the hot summer sun a also serves to dry out the softer poops when my girls are having issues. That said, I try to clean up the yard at least twice a day — sometimes more than that…mostly b/c I don’t want to step in it. Well, have to go feed my 3 Musketeers.
Yep I’m joining the hop later because I have a special summertime issue to add. That bowl looks very handy.
Sugar I agree, specially in summer we should remove the stinky thingies. A lot of people walk in the grass without shoes and to hit the “jackpot” that way is very annoying. And with tons of flies on the poop the meadows are not really a good place for a picnic…
Sugar, you are SO right! Dog poop smells terrierible during the Summer which is just another great reason to Scoop That Poop. There are so many here that do not scoop…it makes us mad. Grrrrrrr!

Our mom is Crazy fur Scooping the Poopings. We like to put them in different places so he has to play EASTER EGG HUNT fur them every day. THAT is really FUN to watch.
Dog Dad is usually our pooper scooper. We just got a fresh canister of free Poop bags at the Whisker Walk that hook right to Dog Dad’s belt. We like this clippy idea though.
That’s a handy use of the Fifth Paw!
Please enter us…. with 4 Lapdogs, we’re ALWAYS needing to scoop ‘da poop!
Great giveaway!
I gotta get me one of those! I usually just tie the poop bags to the leash till I find a garbage, but most of the time they end up falling off and I have to carry them anyways!

My poop stank up the car the other day since we were hiking a carry in-carry out trail. Even after triple bagging! Blegh.
Mom ALWAYS picks up our poopy and mad dogs people that don’t. We entered!

Seems the fifth paw is very popular these days and not surprising it is such good idea. Have a marvellous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
Sorry to miss the hop Sugar! Mom forgot to write it down on her calendar. Great giveaway! Love Dolly
The HOP is open till Thursday so you have time to join in. Golden Woofs
Good idea with the Slurpabowl! I read that it can attach to your leash, without the Fifth Paw of course, but we have not tried it that way yet.
We will vouch for the smelly part. This time of year we keep all our full bags in a bucket with a lid until trash day…smelly!
great information Sugar….thank goodness in our neighborhood we see everyone with poop bags.
hugs madi your bfff
We would like to enter the giveaway. The Fifth paw seems like a great product, because no one wants to carry around poop bags in his or her hand until the person finds a trashcan, but it would be nice to be able to carry the bag hands free on the leash.
The boys usually do their pooping in the backyard, so we scoop daily.I don’t want any of us stepping in a pile when we are out playing! Still, whenever we walk one of them usually has to go. I hate walking down the street carrying a bag of fresh poop! BOL! I’d love a Fifth Paw!
We would like to enter! I think scooping is a must! It’s so rude and irritates me when I see other pet parents who just walk away and leave their mess in someone’s yard! Would love to try the Fifth Paw so I’d have free hands while walking!
We agree that humans should clean up after their doggies. We’ve found doggie poops in our yard and it’s no fun. We won’t enter the giveaway since we’re cats…and we use the litterbox. But we think the Fifth Paw sounds like a great product. By the way, the mom says cat poop smells bad too. 😉
How very cool to clip the bowl on there too. I have a fifth paw and love it so i won’t enter the give away. Good luck to the others.
It doesn’t often get hot enough here for the poop smell to spoil the air but when it does- gross!!! The water contamination is a huge problem here, though. The bacteria from dog poop washes directly into critical salmon habitats and kills the endangered fish!
Let me tell you this: I worked as a kenneler in an animal shelter last summer. And when it gets hot out, and the sun is beating down, there is NOTHING worse than the smell of dog poop. NOTHING. It is the WORST. So please, PLEASE pick up after your dogs…especially in the summer! Never heard of the Fifth Paw…sounds super handy!
I joined b/c who doesn’t need a 5th paw, BOL! Gotta scoop to protect dogs & your neighbors!
The Fifth Paw would be great for when I go jogging with Luna! We scoop our poop to protect ourselves and others and not scooping is just rude and gross!
I have many leashes, so I need a used poop bag older for many of them. BOL! I like to think of scooping poop as being a doggie good manners ambassador. If we all scoop it, maybe we will be allowed to go to more places.
Hugs,
Pepper
I’m here to enter the giveaway. Yes, would like it to help promote scoop that poop!
I want to join the giveaway. I hate when irresponsible people leave their dogs poop in a public place like the park or on the trail… I want to win this because there is not always a trash can near to get rid of the ‘doggie deposit’.
I would love to win this. I always pick up my pup’s poop but hate carrying it around with me.
