The PooDunki® is the stylish answer to comply with local curb laws!
Never be seen carrying little plastic bags of poo again! The PooDunki is a convenient storage place for all your pet needs!The inventor, Jan Rohrs, sits in her Norton Shores home with Bella, her 2-year-old Cavachon. When going for walks with Bella, I found myself tired of always having to hold on to a plastic bag filled with dog waste. “Gross,” she says.
One day after walking the dog, I came home and invented the solution - the PooDunki!
The mother of five and grandmother of 11 — ”number 12’s on the way,” — Rohrs has always been an inventor of sorts. She takes after her father, the late Robert Miller, an inventor who started R.A. Miller Industries Inc. in Grand Haven, MI.
“I’m just somebody who thinks of things ... who likes to fix things,” she says, “and it’s perfect timing with everyone caring about ecology ... the green movement.”
The bags are made in Holland and silkscreened in Spring Lake with the PooDunki logo she designed. Then she, with help from her husband, John Rohrs, and grandchildren, packages the PooDunki at her home in Norton Shores.
“I could get it made cheaper overseas,” Rohrs says, “but I have to stay in the U.S. We have to help each other.”
The PooDunki has been on the market since 2008, “so I’m still new to this,” Rohrs says. In between marketing the bag, and “daily life,” she still takes Bella for walks at least once a day. Before heading out, Rohrs straps a PooDunki around her waist, prepared for action.
“It serves the purpose,” she says. “It definitely does.”
With the PooDunki® you won’t have a swinging bag in your hand as you complete your run. Simply scoop up the waste and temporarily store the waste bag in the main compartment of your PooDunki®. Helps comply with local park and municipality scoop laws.
