Abstract
Abstract A bag for packaging animal's droppings comprising a bag body and a scooper board secured thereto. The bag body is made of relatively flexible material, and the scooper board is made of relatively hard material so as to ladle the droppings on the ground. The scooper board comprises a guide portion for ladling the droppings and hold portions for having the bag packaging the dropping in hand, and this scooper board is turnably secured to one edge of the opening of the bag body in the manner that the guide portion is upwardly. Because the scooper board can turn, the guide portion thereof can enter in the bag body only by turning the scooper board. So the user of the bag can settle the animal's droppings by operating the bag sanitarily.
