Piqapoo is a dream come true for people who love their dogs, but not picking up after them.
About this project
Piqapoo was designed by dog parents with the dog’s well-being as the top priority. We spent three years refining its design and searching for the best materials that are both durable and provide maximum comfort for our pets.
We are truly excited about this and know that Piqapoo will forever change the way people walk their dogs!
The bags are made of thin plastic which is light yet durable enough to prevent leakage, not bulky for the dog, and with an opaque nylon bag that conceals the feces from view.
As dog parents, we are very protective of our dogs. When we first came up with the idea we had to check that it actually works. We talked with many dog owners, trainers, and vets and got very good feedback.
Easy to fit and durable enough to contain any texture of dog feces, Piqapoo provides the cleanest and most simple solution for dog waste disposal.
Before delivery, we will ask you via email for your dog's size so we can send you the appropriate Piqapoo.
Piqapoo has been successfully tested by the vision-impaired and their service dogs. See how it went for one blind man and his furry friend when they used Piqapoo for the first time…
Risks and challenges
Experience is our greatest teacher. We understand the realities of producing an innovative and necessary household product.
We’ve done our homework and secured relationships with the best manufacturers and experts to ensure that every aspect of our product is perfect. Leveraging our previous experience in the category and the insights gained during the initial production run, we’ve been able to identify and avoid many of the issues that can complicate the smooth launch of a new product. Based on the exponential demand for the original, we’ve created a framework for production and fulfillment in preparation for that possibility.
We are a team of experts from different disciplines working hard to ensure that everything is manufactured to our exacting specifications and allowing us to respond quickly to any issues that may arise.We will begin manufacturing as soon as we reach our funding goal.

Attach the collection bag to the clip and easily place the clip around the base of your dog's tail when you go for a walk. When your dog is ready to poop, the droppings will fall directly into the collection bag. Once the dog is done, take the clip off his tail and press the button to toss the bag into the bin.
For further details please refer to our How To video (https://www.youtube.com/watch…) and see our infographics in the Project Description. -
We designed Piqapoo with top veterinarians. The wellbeing of your dog is our first priority. Piqapoo’s soft silicone cushions fit comfortably on your dog's tail without hurting him at all.

Piqapoo doesn’t require training, although some dogs may need a few tries to adapt. We found that within a few days of using Piqapoo, most dogs get excited when they see their owner reaching for Piqapoo, letting them know it's time to go out for a walk.
For further instructions please refer to HOW TO PIQAPOO (link) on our Youtube channel. -
Never. Using Piqapoo will keep your hands - and the ground - 100% clean at all times.

Our bags are approximately 80% smaller than the average poo bag, so that the amount of wasted material is reduced to a minimum. Using Piqapoo also means droppings never touch the ground, thereby minimizing health hazards and pollution caused by dog fecal matter.

Piqapoo was designed with top veterinarians to be comfortable for dogs of all breeds and sizes. When you order a Piqapoo, we will contact you to get your dog’s size information and send you the appropriate Piqapoo.
