A Confession from the Field Path

I will admit it openly: when I got my Havanese, I thought the most demanding part would be all the compliments we get on our walks. Far from it. Anyone with a dog with long, soft hair knows the moment on the field path: the dog does its business, looks up with satisfaction, and you glance at that fluffy behind and think: something is still hanging on there.

That exact moment is what dogpaper was made for, the toilet paper for dogs. It is a dog poop bag with integrated hygiene paper on the outside and the only product of its kind worldwide. The idea is so simple you wonder why it took so long: after using the toilet, we humans naturally reach for toilet paper. So why shouldn’t a dog get its butt wiped right after doing its business outside?

In this tongue-in-cheek breed check, we look at why dogpaper is especially worth it for long-haired dogs like the Havanese or the Collie, and how the whole thing is done in one single move.

Havanese, Collie and Co.: The Breed Check

Short-haired dogs have it relatively easy around the bottom. With long-haired breeds, things look different. Havanese, Collies, Shih Tzus, Maltese, Bearded Collies and long-haired Dachshunds wear their glorious coats right where you would prefer things to be a little tidier after a poop. Long hair around the butt tends to hold on to poop residue, especially on days when the stool is a bit softer.

That is no drama and certainly nothing to be embarrassed about. It is simply physics plus hairstyle. Many owners of long-haired dogs know that quick look behind and the question: how do I sort this out elegantly without digging a tissue out of my jacket pocket on top of the poop bag?

The honest answer: with one single bag. dogpaper combines two moves you already make on every walk into one. Picking up the poop has long been routine for responsible dog owners, and you carry the poop bag anyway. dogpaper builds on exactly that routine and turns it into a complete hygiene moment for your dog.

The One-Move Routine: Hand In, Wipe, Pick Up, Toss

Here is how it works for me on the field path, right on the spot, immediately after the dog has done its business:

1. Hand in the bag. Just like with any regular poop bag, I slip my hand inside. The bag fits like a glove and my hand stays completely clean. The soft hygiene paper is on the outside.

2. Wipe the butt once. The dog is still standing, I crouch beside it and wipe once with the paper side directly under the tail. With my Havanese, one calm wipe is usually enough; on softer days I use the paper on both sides.

3. Grab the poop. With the same hand and the same bag, I pick up the poop. The paper has a nice bonus: dogpaper picks up more residue from the ground than an ordinary plastic bag.

4. Turn inside out, knot, toss. Turn the bag inside out, tie a knot and drop it into the next bin. Done. The whole thing takes only a few seconds longer than regular poop pickup.

And the best part: my dog visibly feels more comfortable afterwards. It trots on happily, sniffs the next blade of grass and forgets the moment faster than I do.

One Bag Instead of Two: The Fact About Waste

One objection we hear often: isn’t this even more waste? The answer is a clear no, backed by a simple fact. Anyone who used to clean their dog’s butt needed two things: a poop bag for the pile and an extra tissue or wet wipe for the bottom. With dogpaper, it is exactly one bag. Paper and poop bag are combined in one product, and the tissue disappears entirely.

dogpaper is disposed of in the residual waste just like any other poop bag. No extra pack in your jacket pocket, no second item left over somewhere along the way. One move, one bag, one knot.

For me as a dog walker, it is also about convenience: no more juggling leash, bag and tissue. One hand on the leash, one hand in the bag, and everything else happens in a single motion.

Conclusion: Breed Check Passed

Whether Havanese, Collie or any other dog with long hair: these breeds show perfectly what a well-designed dog poop bag can do. dogpaper, the dog hygiene paper, turns the pickup you have to do anyway into one complete moment where butt and poop are handled in one go. Your hand stays clean, you use just one bag, and your dog walks on relaxed.

Of course, dogpaper is great for short-haired dogs too. But anyone who has ever looked at a Havanese behind on a field path immediately understands why owners of long-haired dogs are often the first to be convinced.

So, just between us and with a wink: did you wipe your dog’s butt today? Try dogpaper on your next walk and see for yourself how easy one move can be.
