Thank you for being concerned enough about the environment to use the Mutt Mitt! The mess that comes with dog ownership effects the owner's home, yard, neighborhood, and community. Typically, the issue of mess, or "poop" as it is called in scientific circles, is addressed in public by simply denying access---
No Dogs Allowed! We know that pet owners will be responsible if clean up is convenient. If clean up is inconvenient the pet owners tend to leave the mess behind.Technically, the Mutt Mitt is known as a disposable collector/container. It was designed for the medical profession as a way to collect and contain contagious and infectious waste without contamination. Pet waste is also infectious, so similar procedures for infection control is essential to the health of both the pet owner and the pet.
The Mutt Mitt is a simple bag; sized for the human hand, 9 inches by 13 inches with a deep bottom gusset. The user's hand is inserted into the mitt with the thumb and forefingers straddling the gusset and forming a pouch on the bottom of the mitt. This pouch has a capacity of about two and one half quarts. The gusseted area is constructed of two plies and permits movement between the layers. This controlled movement provides added insulation and helps it resist tearing from abrasion, yet maintains the tactile dexterity of the human hand.
The film used for the construction of the Mutt Mitt is degradable. Exposure to sunlight, microorganisms, or heat, individually or in combination, will result in the degradation of the film. A Mutt Mitt deteriorates about as quickly as a leaf when exposed to similar conditions.
