Thanks to everyone for entering the competition to win a smell-proof, poo-carrying dicky bag. The competition closed on 16 March 2025.
Three lucky winners were selected at random:
January winner – Nic and Rick and their two rescue dogs from Romania, called Lenny and Daisy.
February winner – June and her dog Baillie, a tri-coloured King Charles Spaniel who loves a cuddle.
March winner – to be announced
The dicky bag is lightweight, airtight, washable and leak proof. It can be attached to you or your dog and safely stores the poo until you find a bin or get home, with no more nasty niffs or strange looks!

Small: £36 plus postage
Medium: £37.20 plus postage
Large: £38.40 plus postage

Why bag it and bin it?
- Dog poo contains bacteria that harms people, livestock, wildlife
and other dogs. - Dog diets are high in protein. Poo left behind stops rare wildflowers
growing, so less birds and insects too. - Dog poo contains nutrients which upset the whole ecosystem. Grazing animals are recycling existing nutrients, not adding more.
- Bagged dog poo left behind (even briefly) can be eaten by other dogs, grazing animals and wildlife.
- Buy plastic free poo bags if you can or from recycled plastic = better for the environment.
- Dispose of poo in dog bins, any public litter bins or your mixed waste bin at home.
