Adjustable animal waste collection apparatus with interchangeable attachments

An animal waste collection apparatus comprising:

• (a) an elongate shaft having a proximal region and a distal region;
• (b) a length-adjustment mechanism operatively associated with the shaft and configured to permit selective variation of an overall effective length of the shaft;
• (c) a forearm-stabilising assembly fixed to the proximal region of the shaft and including at least one flexible strap sized to encircle a user's forearm;
• (d) a coupling assembly disposed at the distal region of the shaft, the coupling assembly comprising a first coupling element carried by the shaft and configured for multi-axis articulation, and a second coupling element configured for releasable engagement with the first coupling element;
• (e) a first interchangeable attachment body removably mountable to the coupling assembly, the first attachment body including a support structure defining a seat dimensioned to receive and retain a removable receptacle;
• and
• (f) a second interchangeable attachment body removably mountable to the coupling assembly, the second attachment body including at least two opposing jaws moveable between an open position defining an aperture sized to receive a flexible bag and a closed position retaining the flexible bag within the jaws;
• wherein the first and second interchangeable attachment bodies each contain the second coupling element and are interchangeably engageable with the first coupling element of the coupling assembly.
