ABSTRACT:
The basic component of the apparatus is a plastic bag, similar to those dispensed in supermarkets, modified to suit the requirements of the subject invention. The modification is effected by cutting specific features into a bag having two sides and lying flat and having its open end to the right, closed end to the left and having a top edge and a bottom edge. The features in a preferred embodiment are (1) holes through the bag near the corner formed by the open end and top edge, these holes being used for attachment of the bag to the dog and, in some cases, attachment of a lanyard between the bag and a dog's collar, (2) a notch in the top edge near the closed end, forming a hole large enough to fit over a dog's tail, (3) small holes in the lower edge near the closed end, forming hole(s) to allow drainage of urine, (4) a cut-out into the open end, parallel to the bottom edge and extending about 5/8 of the length of the bag with its bottom edge about 11/2 inches from the bottom edge of the bag, this cut-out forming a folded strap which extends between the dog's hind legs and (5) holes in the ends of the folded strap. A belt is passed through these holes and the holes at the top edge and fastened securely around the dog's waist. On dogs having an upstanding tail the bag is held in place by the tail through the tail hole and the belt holding the straps and passing through the holes in the portion of the open end over the dog's back. On dogs having a drooping tail or no tail, the bag may also be held in place by a lanyard attached between the top, forward portion of the bag or the belt in that area and the dog's collar.
