OUT! Handle Tie Dog Waste Bags, 7.5x8.5 in, 50 bags

I like these bags because the handle makes them easy to tie. Also because they're black so you can't see into them when they're, um, occupied. They are more expensive than they should be, in my opinion, but I am willing to pay a premium for the ease of use.

There are several reasons I really like this doggie bag ... 1) It's just the right size and very sturdy - have not had one break, 2) It's black so ya don't have to "see" the poop you just picked up, 3) It has loops (see #5), 4) It's easy to use - stick your hand in, pick up the poop and pull it inside out with the loops then tie a single knot, 5) The loops make it easy to carry. Instead of carrying in my hand, I hook the loops into the carabiner that is hooked through the D-ring on the dog leash so my hands are free to tend to the dogs while walking them.

Strong/sturdy, non-see-through, and easy to tie.

I am old and have arthritis. I can not understand how anyone would use the rolls of thin plastic bags that you need a surgeon's hand to pry apart instead of these. These bags are simple to get open and are an excellent size and thickness to contain the pickup without soiling your hands. I have to wear a waist pack to put these in when we walk but I wear that already to keep pepper spray, a stun gun, and a big hunting knife (my 30lbs dog and I were attacked by a Pit Bull and a German Shepherd.) . I find it annoying that you can not longer buy these bags anywhere and must buy them online since they are the best bags out there. I even use these to clean the backyard when I am too lazy to go get a shovel. I prefer Out's heavy duty bags but these bags work better than 99.9% of all the bags available for purchase. My dog is a mere 30lbs but I don't know why any large dog owner would use those thin small roll bags competitor's make.

I like the handles on the bags. Easy pick up.

They've changed their formulation, bag is thinner. Apparently that's what you get, even if you buy from a source that has the old package cover.Used to love this brand, now not sure I'll stick around. Love the handles, that's why I used these over roll bags and paid a premium for them, but not sure the handles are worth all the other unforced errors here.Can now really feel the doodie in the bag where wasn't so prominent before, yuck. Also, even fully tied off with no hole, can now smell it too. Who wants that? Bag will not hold up if you have to pick up off concrete on occasion, prior bags did. At least still black and not see through, like some other bags.

It was just as I wanted.

These bags are great for picking up dog poop - I especially like that they "handles" that may be tied up once you have the stuff in the bag. There's no perfumy smell and they're biodegradable. However, the bags in this pack of 50 seem to be a little smaller than tne ones in the pack of 100. It may be my imagination, but I've had occasional difficulty getting all of my dog's poop in the bag. In any case, overall they're great!

I like these bags because they're not too wide. This means when you put your hand in the sides of the bag stay up your arm and don't drop down and get smeared in excrement. Picking up poop is a quick, clean, one-handed job.
