Poopod takes the Green Dog Walkers Pledge
Here at Poopod we've taken the Green Dog Walkers Pledge which is a project that started at Falkirk in Scotland. We have promised to always clean uo after our dogs, carry extra poo bags and gladly give them to other walkers if asked and we are wearing our armbands with pride!

If you travel on the motorway with your dog in the car, then www.drivingwithdogs.co.uk may be useful. Within 4 miles of motorway exits you'll find a walk, dog friendly place for refreshments, map, off-road parking, directions and description of the walk. All the walks have been tested by both humans and dog! New walks are being added all the time.
They've also just released a brilliantly handy book "MOTORWAY WALKS" which is available to buy from their website. It's a handy size to keep in the glove compartment or carry with you on your walk and a good price. Well worth it!

Family hoping to clean up after dog invention
By Lauren Pyrah
A FAMILY have come up with an innovative solution to one of the least pleasurable aspects of owning a dog -cleaning up its mess.
The Poopod, an all-in-one kit to save dog owners from spoiling a good walk by having to carry a bag of dog dirt, has been designed and patented by the Bell family, from Darlington.
The invention is a team effort by father Neil 47, mother Sue, 43, and children Nicole, 15, and Joe, 11, and was inspired by Nicole, who hated holding the used bags after walking the family's Yorkshire terrier, Rosie.
The gadget has won the backing of the British Inventors Society, which awarded the Bell family double golds for innovation and invention.
