Has anyone with multiple big dogs had this scoop more than a year? I need things that are durable and last in our rescue and sanctuary.

I've only had it several months, but it is a very sturdy hard plastic and is holding up very well.

I use mine several times daily for 6 dogs. This is the third one I have had in 3 years but they don't wear out it is clumsy me that breaks them by using them inappropriately. Like as a walking stick to stop myself slipping down a bank. I think these are the best available at a reasonable cost, better than welded tin ones.

I have, and it seems pretty durable. All plastic and the handles seem well attached. Easy to clean, I just hose it off. I have 2 big dogs, and use it several times a week. I don't remember if mine is the biggest model, but you will want the biggest one for your usage.

Thanks to all that answered and give your doggies a scratch on the ear from me.

I have the same problem. I have Golden Retrievers. I just keep checking it and cleaning it about every time I sweep and that's often. For as expensive as this sweep was, it should have no problems at all!

I have two 90 - 100 lb. dogs (a Golden plus an Airedale mix) that slurp from this thing constantly... plus one cat. No issues of any kind - this is the best thing I have ever found - holds a full gallon of water, I put frozen "ice" blocks in mine (easy to clean and lots of room). Everybody loves it. Filters work great - I replace them about once a month so buy extras. Great price.

I have a 60-65 pound Lab/Pit mix who used these steps fine for years. The steps were a gift, otherwise I might have gotten something rated for a bigger dog, but they worked great for my pup. My 150 pound friend using it as a stool did it in. I'm here to buy another one!

I've had mine for four years - no problems. I had a bigger Hoover previously that lasted several years as well.

I wonder if the reviews you saw were for another scoop. There is another brand that has a handle that is not solid metal. The DuraScoop is all metal with a rubberized coating on the handle.

I have had mine for about 6 months now. I have 2 dogs and they are not at all cheap or fragile. I really like the fact that they have my cell number and their names on the collar in font big enough to be seen if my dogs were to get out without me.

I have a 76# Golden Retriever and the bag does a great job cleaning up after him ... the only thing I used to like better were the bags the newspaper came in - you could put your arm in, retriever the product, turn the bag inside out and tie it off. Bags for the paper are now filmsy and much smaller as newspapers are quickly disappearing. For a Medium to Large dog walked 3-4 times a day they do the trick better than any I've used. I didn't go dig out a bag to measure but 10" h plus handles and 6" w seems about wide and they open between 4-5" - it's a great product especially for the price!

I have two ... my red one for home/car and my green one for the office. Have had both for about 6 months now and have used both every day. They've been dropped, sat in dishwater, rolled across the floor by an errant puppy and are still in perfect shape. Even the straws hold up really well. I've been known to have my hands full and to carry it by the straw with no problems dropping or spilling. I love this cup and will likely order a couple more, just to have on hand. ;)

We have two of these. We have big dogs. The material is very strong. The weak point as it is with all these crates is the screening. If the dog paws at it it does rip. I have no complaints with it, especially for the price

Buy the Jumbo and you will not have to bend over! For 3 dogs I would get the big one! It's so easy to use I can pick up after my chihuahua mix (6 pound dog) in gravel with ease and still pick up after the larger dogs! :)

Idk...about warranty but I am tough on them too....this is my fourth scoop. It is awesome! So worth the money....still going strong after three labs every day for months now....I won't ever buy another brand...usually the claw teeth are the first to go but these are so tough and the grip is amazing....go for it!

I have 4 large dogs and I use Missing link 1 time a day, only 1 tbls. This seems sufficient and I have been using tis product for over 15 years. Even for the deprived rescues I took in. It will last a long time. But you don't need to add that much.

My dogs are all huge sonthis size is good for me. Look on Amazon or gondirectly to Goughnuts site to see if they make extra small. It took more than a year before I had to send mine in for free replacement and I have a shepherd/rottie mix and a Chessie and they have big,destructive mouths and these toys hold up to them. I think if they make a smaller size you will be glad you bought it.

Well, its kinda bulky for long walks but ok for short walk. I personally won't take it for walks. The scoop doesn't hold a plastic bags if that is what you r asking me. I use plastic bags from grocery stores or poop bags from dollar stores like dollar trees. I hope this helps!

Yes, we bought a 30 lb bag of dry dog food, and it filled it up to the top. scoop didn't fit for a few days, but now does. food has stayed nice a fresh as well!

I would contact Sherpa and ask for their recommendations. I have a 16 pounder that does fine in it. But it would depend on how tall your pet is, if he/she is a chewer, scratcher, etc -- since it's not a hard side carrier it is not indestructible if you have a determined, strong chewer. Some breeds of dogs have bigger teeth than others the same size -- terriers for example have big teeth for dogs their size/weight.
