You asked, we answer: Does the wipe pick up the poop too?

Let’s be honest: the first time we explained dogpaper, we couldn’t help grinning ourselves. A dog poop bag that is also toilet paper for dogs? It sounds like an idea you come up with after your third coffee. That’s why we love that our community keeps sending us the same, perfectly reasonable question: ‘Wait a second, if I use it to wipe my dog’s butt, do I need a second bag for the poop?’

The question is so good that it deserves a whole article. Because this is exactly what dogpaper is all about: it is not an add-on you carry around next to your poop bag. It is the poop bag, just with one small but crucial extra.

The short answer: Yes, all in one grab

Yes, the wipe picks up the poop too. dogpaper is a grey dog poop bag with soft hygiene paper on the outside. You slip your hand in like a glove, give your dog’s butt one wipe right after the business is done, and pick up the dropping in the very same motion. Then you turn the bag inside out, tie a knot and toss it into the next bin. Done.

The paper sits exactly where your hand already is. No switching grips, no digging through your jacket pocket, no second tissue to deal with. Wiping and collecting become one smooth movement. A nice bonus: thanks to the paper, dogpaper even picks up more residue from the ground than an ordinary plastic bag.

The routine on a field path, step by step

Picture a perfectly normal walk: a dry field path, a harvested field on one side, a grass verge on the other. Your dog sniffs around, does the usual little circle and does its business at the edge of the path. This is where dogpaper comes in, right away and right on the spot.

1. Hand in: Just like with any poop bag, you put your hand inside. Your hand stays completely clean.

2. One wipe: While your dog is still standing, you gently wipe once under the tail with the paper side. It really only takes a moment.

3. Pick it up: Without stopping, you grab the dropping with the same hand.

4. Turn and tie: Pull the bag inside out over your hand so paper and poop end up inside, then tie a knot.

5. Toss it: Into the next bin along the path. Used bags go into residual waste, just like any other poop bag.

After doing it two or three times, you’ll notice: this isn’t an extra step, it’s simply a better routine. Bend down once, everything’s done.

One bag instead of two: what it means on your walk

A common objection is: ‘Another product, more waste?’ Quite the opposite. Anyone who used to wipe their dog’s butt after its business usually needed two things: a poop bag and a tissue. That tissue ends up somewhere, ideally in a bin, at worst in your jacket pocket, where you rediscover it two days later.

With dogpaper there is exactly one bag. No extra tissue, no second knot, no juggling leash, treat pouch and paper all at once. Especially if you like relaxed walks without full hands, you’ll appreciate the difference.

And because wiping and collecting happen in one grab, the whole thing takes just a few seconds. Your dog doesn’t have to stand still for long while you fumble around, and you can simply carry on walking together.

Why wiping your dog’s butt isn’t so crazy after all

For us humans, toilet paper is an everyday item. With dogs, we’ve long got used to picking up the poop, but most people leave the butt as it is. Yet especially on softer days, a few traces like to stay behind. Many dog owners know this and end up with improvised solutions.

dogpaper starts exactly where you already are: picking up. Our approach is to improve the handling you already know so that everyday poop collecting turns into a small routine that benefits both dog and human. Your dog feels visibly more comfortable, and you feel good about it without any extra effort.

By the way: dogpaper is the only product worldwide that combines a dog poop bag and dog hygiene paper in one. Until now, this kind of one-grab routine simply wasn’t possible.

So next time you’re out on a field path: hand in, one wipe, pick up, tie, toss. And then the one question we enjoy asking most: Did you wipe your dog’s butt today?
