A long handled poop a scoop for folk who have arthritic knees and cannot bend down to pick up dog poo? Hubby has had to give up walking a friend's dog as he can no longer pick up the mess as loses his balance.

For real, Pugwash....

Yes I should of thought of that but with a lots of elderly doggy friends also complaining how difficult to bend down to pick up poo - just never thought about it.

I suppose not being dog owners at the moment - must be around 6 years now since we had a dog - not really in the same mindset!!

If it's for elderly people, they may already be known to an OT, who MIGHT be able to issue something similar. They certainly would have a few years ago when I was working closely with them in Greenwich, but I suspect cuts will probably mean the best they can do is recommend stuff like this these days.
