Doggy Do GoodPoop Bags for Dogs (30 Ct), Easy Open Dog Poop Bags Single Roll, Certified Home Compostable

Would recommend, have bought several times, and will definitely buy again!We have two dogs, and an indoor-only cat. I scoop up a lot of poop around here, and go through quite a few plastic grocery bags.After seeing a short video on a social media site about the plastic trash “islands” out in the oceans, and how plastic grocery bags do such damage to marine life, I sat and thought about how many we actually use and toss away. I’d not given it a lot of thought before because, at least, I was using each grocery bag more than once. Once to bring the groceries home and then again as trash bags for small cans, to pick up dog poop in the yard, and to dump the used cat litter after daily scooping.But they’re still plastic bags that, hopefully, end up in the land fill. They still could end up in the local bodies of water, rivers, and streams.How could I use less?I went in search of. Considering those grocery bags are “free,” I wanted something that was economical (we’re not made of money), as well as better for the environment. Too many of the pet waste bags are still made of some type of plastic even though they say they’re environmentally or earth friendly. Plastic is not.Then I spotted Doggy Do Good. I read their descriptions and went to their site to read more about them. They make vegetable-based bags that biodegrade, not just break down into smaller particles of plastic, and they’re compostable (industrial compost, not home compost). 10% of their profits go to help dogs in no-kill shelters. Made in America! Even though they’re more expensive per bag than others, I bought a box of the “XL Cat Litter/X-Large Dog Waste Bags” to give them a try.First off, they do not have a chemical odor. They have a silky feel to me, which is not unpleasant at all. It is not difficult to remove them from the roll, though I do take some care when removing the next one so as not to take a chance on tearing them. I decided to use them in my master bath trash can, which is a 2-gallon (8-quart) galvanized bucket: top diameter 9 ¾ inches by 8 3/8 inches tall. It is emptied about every week to week-and-a-half. The Doggy Do Good bags fit in it very well.I also use them in the trash can I use when scooping out the cat’s litter box. My only problem with the bags is they don’t quite fit so well in a regular, 4-gallon trash can. The blue oval trash can (pictured) is 12 ¼ inches wide by 6 ½ inches, and it is 10 ½ inches tall. The bags are a bit short. To combat that, I tug up the one side of the bag and pull it over the lip of the trash can. I prop that side against the side edge of the litter box to hold it in place as I am scooping. Which fascinates the cat, by the way. To use less bags, I’ll leave that bag in the trash can for a few days or so of poop-scooping before I dispose of the whole thing. I use clumping clay cat litter, and even after up to five days of poop and pee litter disposal, the Doggy Do Good bags have held the weight, and not torn or ripped out, when I tie it off and carry it out to the big 30-gallon trash can in the garage.Because of their more than decent performance, I bought more of the XL bags. I keep a box in my bathroom and in the “cat room.”We recently decided we should go camping and bought a motor home (Class A) RV. Nothin’ quite like *camping* with your own bed, air conditioning, and potty!We’ve been to two pet-friendly state parks within our home state so far. They, very thoughtfully and conveniently, have pet poop bag stations scattered about, but those bags are plastic! I bought another box of the XL Doggy Do Good bags to keep in the RV to use in the little trash can we have in our RV bathroom, and for poop picking up. Unfortunately, they just aren’t big enough to fit properly in the trash can we have under the kitchen sink.Our daughter, who lives with us, brought along her little poop bag dispenser for when we walked the dogs (multiple times per day), but at our second camping expedition, we ran out of those little bags! Luckily, I had the larger Doggy Do Good bags, and there were the park-offered bags here and there.Because I am making a conscious effort to use less plastic, and I like the bags, I bought the little Doggy Do Good poop bags and a dispenser to clip on my own dog’s harness or leash!So, yes. They are more expensive than other poop bags, or small trash bags, they don’t quite fit in a 4-gallon small trash can, but if you exert a bit of effort, that can be worked around. They are convenient as heck; can easily be carried with you when walking your dog; hold the weight of clay cat litter scoopages of several days; contain the odor; they’re not plastic and truly are biodegradable, and the company donates to shelters! Sounds like a win/win.However, I will say I have not done any sort of test to see how long they will hold a liquid.Pros: listed aboveCons: The expense, and the XL bags could be a bit larger to fit better in small, vanity or bathroom type trash cans.

I love these bags because they are so much better than plastic bags. The small size is a little too small for comfort, though. Too many times my thumb has touched the poo while using the small bags. The bigger ones are so much easier to pick up the poo with plenty of bag to hold and tie.

What’s not to like, it’s a durable product

Perfect size for my 9lb Chihuahua mix.

These bags are a good thickness, they don't smell, and I like the handles but the size is very tiny. They work fine for my 3 kg chihuahua but I don't think they would work for a dog much bigger than she is.

I’ve bought the small and the standard, they are both the same size. They’re a little small for scooping litter but they hold up decently for the weight of litter. The small size makes it a little difficult to get the scooper into the bag while holding one handle with the other hand. A couple have ripped when trying to open but out of the whole batch only 2 ripping isn’t bad

I've used only these poop bags for my dog for 1+ years now after trying many-many others. These are truly advantageous in being made of a soft , very pliable, and comfortable texture (to skin) to handle, and a perfect size for poop-bags a 10-30 lb dog and having handles to quickly and easily tie off the bag. It is also critical to me to ensure the bags are biodegradable as these are. My only complaint is that they are porous enough (probably because they are biodegradable) that you can't leave them sitting on items without acquiring poop smell. I will probably always use just this brand for the life of my dogs....

I like that they are ex-large, sturdy, inexpensive and they don't leak. Before I started buying these - I was using the bags from the grocery stores, which by the way- You have to check them to make sure they don't have holes so they don't break. With these- I don't have to waste my time. The price is right and most importantly- It's nice to know and love that part of the proceeds are donated to animal welfare and environmental non-profits. You can't ask for more. Thank you for making my life easier! I am very happy with these [ DoggyDoGood bags] which by the way- I use them for my cats!

I've been using for a few months or more now. These bags are the perfect size for litter box clean up and yard dog waste clean up.The company was quick to follow-up regarding any issues with the product. Great customer service! If you are using this product don't hesitate to reach out to them.Also the fact that it is plant-based therefore eco-friendlyI will definitely continue to purchase/use this product!

I'm fostering a toy fox terrier right now and I had some remaining Earth Rated standard sized bags. I've always had a hard time with opening them (even began pre-opening them before walks) and of course they were too large for this dog. These Doggy Do Good bags are great. I've used 4 or so by now and have been extremely happy with how easy they are to open, they feel so soft and not much like plastic, and they are the perfect size for this dog. I'm super glad to see that they are actually biodegradable too! In addition, it fits perfectly into my Earth Rated bag dispenser.

I bought these as an environmentally conscious way to line my Arm & Hammer pooper scooper. Reading the reviews I was unsure what I'd get; however, the bags seem to be holding up well and there have been no issues with seams of the bag or ripping at the handles. The only thing I have to say is when you first get the bags and remove the sticker holding them in a roll you do have to be careful so as not to rip the bag the sticker is attached to.

Biodegradable good size, don’t leak

The bags were nice and big, however, extremely thin. As i use them cleaning out the poop from the litter (multi-cat). I find just a bit to flimsy. I have to double them up.
