WIN A MUKSAK

At last - the straightforward solution to a messy problem!

We all try to clear up after our dog, but sometimes it's not the easiest or most convenient of jobs. Then there's always the problem of where to place your dog waste bag once you've collected it!

Well, here's the answer! The muksak has been designed to carry any dog waste bag safely and securely, with no smell or leaks due to its specially-designed sealing mechanism. Whether tucked into your bag, carried in your hand, or over your shoulder, you can forget all about it until you can conveniently and hygienically dispose of the dog waste, whether in a convenient dog waste bin or at home. And that leaves you free to enjoy the rest of your journey, unencumbered, as you can be confident that it won't crush, leak or stain, and will withstand the usual knocks of any country hike.

Whether you use a specially purchased brand of dog waste bag, nappy sacks or tend to improvise with less sturdy retrieval techniques, you can use the muksak safe in the knowledge that your dog waste is hygienically contained until you can dispose of it safely and responsibly.

When you reach a suitable dog waste bin, all you have to do is just open the muksak and tip the contents into the bin as usual. If there are no convenient or empty bins, you can even dispose of the contents when you reach home - just remember to double wrap the first plastic bag for safety and hygiene - in your own rubbish bin.

muksak's adaptability and convenience also allows you to pop a supply of bags inside in readiness of your next walk, and leaves you free to choose biodegradable or recycled dog-waste bags, creating a safer and cleaner environment for all.
