Abstract
An adjustable pet waste scoop includes a handle shaft and a scoop shaft connected in a telescopic configuration, such that the overall length of the device is adjustable. A scoop is connected to a lower end of the scoop shaft. The scoop includes an open-ended front portion extending in a first direction perpendicular to the scoop shaft and an open-ended rear portion extending in an opposing second direction at an upward angle with respect to the front portion. The scoop may include one or more clips for securing a pet waste bag to the scoop and may further include annular grooves that receive clamps or other fasteners for further securing the pet waste bag. The open-ended configuration and fasteners allow a pet waste bag to be attached to the scoop in multiple configurations according to user preference.
