Part of being a responsible pet parent includes picking up after your dog in the yard, and although it will never be the most fun job in the world, there are tools to make it quick and easy. Instead of bending over to pick up feces with your hands and a plastic bag, follow suit with tens of thousands of shoppers and invest in the Arm & Hammer Pooper Scooper.
This no. 1 bestseller is currently on sale for nearly 50% off and only costs $18 for the remainder of Amazon Pet Day. The annual two-day sale ends tonight, so there's no time to waste to add one of these handy gadgets to your cart because there's no telling when it will be discounted again. Plus, if you order now, it can arrive as soon as tomorrow, which means you can have a clean yard just in time for weekend festivities.

This pooper scooper features a 27-inch extended claw with teeth that works on a variety of surfaces and allows owners to pick up messes without having to bend over or get on their hands and knees. Not to mention it keeps you away from the stench. All you need is one free hand and a waste basket. Simply pull the trigger on the handle to open the claw, scoop up the poop, and dispose of it in the trash or a collection bucket — no plastic bags required.
Its durable design is made of heavy-duty plastic and it can stand upright on its own for easy and convenient storage. As long as it's stored out of the elements in a shed or garage, it should last for years to come. If you notice any build-up accumulating over time, we recommend rinsing it down with a hose or using disposable gloves and disinfecting wipes.
More than 66,000 shoppers have given this tool a five-star rating and over 2,000 have sold in the past 30 days. One reviewer is wondering why they waited so long to buy one because they "picked up a week's worth of 'business' in about five minutes" after the first use.
"It makes cleaning up the dog poop around the yard so much easier," another shopper wrote. "Sturdy and holds a lot. I can clean the whole yard and only empty this thing twice. I should have bought this sooner, it would've saved my back and saved a lot of time."
If there's one thing every dog parent needs to buy during the Amazon Pet Day event, it's the Arm & Hammer Pooper Scooper while it's on sale for only $18. You can thank us later.
