In this way, defecation excreted by companion animals during outdoor activities has been pointed out as a social problem such as causing discomfort and discomfort to people, as well as major factors that harm urban beautification or environmental beautification of parks. In addition, the government and local governments consume a lot of manpower and money every year to handle the bowel movements of companion animals.

Recently, when taking pets out of the house, they carry a toilet bag with them to remove the pet's bowel movements.

In general, when a companion animal defecates outdoors while a toilet bag is stored in a separate bag or clothes, the toilet bag of the companion animal is collected by removing the toilet bag stored in the bag or clothes.

However, even if a pet is collected in a bag, the owner of the dog carries it by hand or put it back in the bag because there is not a suitable place to store the collected feces, so most of the time, due to the smell of feces oozing out of the bag. The owners of companion animals are also reluctant to store their bowel movements, so in most cases they leave the toilet bags in remote spaces or throw them in the trash cans in public places. This increases public environmental pollution caused by companion animals and also causes various diseases. There was a problem that caused it.
