Mutt Mitt Dispensers

Swinford Tidy Towns Mutt Mitt Dispensers Project

Mutt-Mitt-LogoThe Mutt Mitt Dispensers project came about due to the Community Futures survey which took place in 2012. Swinford community futures was held in Swinford in June 2012. All members of the community were asked to take part and over 1000 questionnaires were returned. The were a lot of positive comments in the survey, however there were some negative comments about the town. One of the top dislikes about the town was dog fouling. View the survey in our Publications Section.

buildings & empty shop fronts, dirty littered
streets & footpaths, dogs fouling walkways &
footpaths, eyesores and neglected areas.

“Our streets are filthy with dog foul”

Swinford Tidy Towns have with the small number of volunteers and limited resources tackled the problems listed above. At the beginning of 2013 we installed “Doggie Bins” at various locations around Swinford town. We would like to thank all the dog owners who have come on board and cooperated with us to date. The dog fouling along our walkways has greatly reduced due to the dog owners picking up after their dogs and using the bins provided. Our Tidy Towns volunteers twice weekly Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings empty the bins.

Paw Pals Pet Magazine Review

Mutt Mitts:

I have definitely saved the best until last. Mutt Mitts are without doubt the best poop bag on the market. The mutt mitt is made up of a strong biodegradable bag with a scoop attached the bottom of the bag. The scoop itself is actually part of the bag. These bags are very easy to use as all you have to do is to put your hand into the bag and place the black part of the bag (the scoop) over the poop and you are easily able to pick up the poop with your hand. Whilst many bags may be awkward to pick more than one piece of poop at a time, these mitts are able to scoop many pieces using the same bag. It is an extraordinary concept on a hygiene level also. There is no fear whatsoever of poop dropping onto your hand or any part of your body for that matter. Mutt Mitts are very strong due to the fact that they are double layered so this makes them very weather resistant also. The bags themselves are not the cheapest and this is likely to be the only reason to deter people away from them. My argument however is that these bags are worth every penny as you are paying for the fact that these bags are so hygienic, of excellent quality and are so easy to use. As a dog owner who would go through the bones of 20 or so poop bags on a weekly basis, it’s a bit of an increased cost for me but it is a cost I am willing to pay rather than using paper bags which break with the smallest drop of water or light plastic bags which are not able to hold much weight without falling apart. Mutt Mitts are definitely worth the money.
