Abstract: |
A harness and bag device for dogs and similar pets is described of which at least the bag portion thereof is disposable. The harness includes cooperating back and belly strip means which are connectable to encircle the dog at the girth, and a pair of bag-carrying strap means extending from the back strap to the belly strap and adapted to pass inside the hind legs of the dog. Bag means is provided integrally with, or attachable to, the pair of bag-carrying strap means and connection is provided between the straps to locate the back strap with respect to the tail and thereby to properly position the bag for catching the dog droppings. The bag is formed on or attached to the bag-carrying straps in such a way as not to interfere with the dog's movement, or to tightly cover any part that the dog may try to lick, scratch or bite.
