We are pet lovers and problem-solvers. The inspiration for our flagship product, Poop Alert Detect, came from a frustrating but common experience: losing poop among leaves or in the dark. Because dogs instinctively leave the pack to do their business, owners sometimes don't get to the spot until their dog is done and off someplace else. Owners reach the general area, but sometimes search in vain among the leaves.

This common problem sparked an idea in our founder, a physicist and inventor specializing in remote sensing. He developed Detect to locate dog poop by its heat signature up to 15 feet away, and it works as advertised.

Problem solved.

But what if no one notices at all? That's where Poop Alert Wearable comes in. As a small device for dog collars that senses the “poop dance” dogs perform before doing their business, it notifies owners with GPS directions to the exact spot, whether they notice or not. If it's camouflaged upon arrival, Poop Alert Detect helps zero in so they can get back to their conversation.

Detect and Wearable are standalone devices—you don’t need both. Together, however, they provide added peace of mind and enhance the shared experience of pets, people, and their communities, while significantly reducing the risk of “stepping in it” for everyone.

Both products work in conjunction with the Poop Detect App, available for iOS and Android phones.
