MidWest Homes for Pets Handy Doody Pooper Scooper, Black

Use the MidWest Homes for Pets Handy Doody pooper scooper when you scoop pet mess out of tall grass, sand or kitty litter. It measures 29 inches long, and the large pronged scoop is made of steel with a thick black e-coat that resists rust. The rake design works with one hand, which leaves the other free for the leash or a phone.

One hand rakes, the other stays on the leash

The scooper is operated with a one-handed raking action, so your second hand stays available for a leash or a phone. That raking motion draws the prongs through the grass to lift the mess.

Where this scooper works, and where it does not

The prongs are made for scooping in grass, sand and kitty litter. On a hard, flat surface such as pavement there is nothing for them to rake through, so the raking action has no grip there. Grass that tangles around the steel is the other place to watch: several reviewers mention that the prongs bend and catch when they work in thicker grass.

What owners say about the Handy Doody

Several reviewers mention that waste comes up easily from grass, and a handful describe the metal build as sturdy. Three reviewers write that the scooper is simple to use. A couple of owners note the prongs bending and catching in grass, which is worth knowing if your lawn runs long.

Scoop shape, steel body and rust-resistant finish

The scoop is large and pronged, and it holds several pick-ups before you empty it. Steel forms the body, finished with a thick black e-coat that resists rust. The whole scooper weighs 408 g (14.4 oz), and the lightweight design keeps that weight down on a short walk.
