The present article develops a device that discards the feces of the canines without using plastic bags. Based on a mixed methodology of product development, the primary needs to be satisfied were determined, it was found that the user needs a product that facilitates the disposal of dog feces, friendly to the environment, hygienic, versatile, durable, comfortable for use and safe. Based on the above, the final characteristics of the device were established, which are evidenced by an aesthetic CAD prototype, which accomplishes the defined ranges of the specifications dictated in the research, thus providing a solution to the problem of disposing of feces from dogs without using plastic bags.
