Doggy Do Good - Dog Poop Bags With Handles, Unscented, XL-Size, 30-Pcs

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 above Cons: The expense, and the XL bags could be a bit larger to fit better in small, vanity or bathroom type trash cans.

Now that single-use plastic bags are banned in my state, and my seemingly infinite supply of hazardous-to-the-environment bag supply is dwindling, I needed to find an alternative means of getting rid of the voluminous massive output my eight cats produce. These bags are big close to the same size as my old grocery store plastic bags, which enables me to easily fit the large cat scoop inside to avoid hazardous waste spills on my floors and carpets. They seem sturdy enough that they don't tear easily, nor do they appear to come with the inexplicable, factory-installed small holes that the grocery bags sometimes have - many of which I used to only discover when transporting the bag from the house to the outside garbage can. This eliminates temper tantrums (on my part) and the need to clean and sanitize the walking path from the litter box to the door. The only downside is that they don't have the stiffness of other plastic bags, which necessitates the use of a small container to hold them open. That is a small price to pay for the benefits to the environment. The fact that they are made in the United States and part of the proceeds go to animal rescue charities is the icing on the cake for me.

In my midst of returning to my use of paper bags and abandoning the evil that is plastic all over our planet...and now researchers have found plastic grocery bags at the bottom of the Marianas Trench in the western Pacific Ocean, 36,000 feet below the surface of our planet...I finally remembered to search for a bio-degradable and Earth-friendly solution for poo bags for me and my dog kid, Aspen. After a bit of research and hunting, I discovered the miracle that is Doggy Do Good!!!! This small company has the largest reasons to purchase waste bags from them!!! 1. Made in Michigan, USA! 2.

These bags bio-degrade within 90 days in the landfills! 4. Lightweight-yet-durable and I love the amazing ties to close. Perfect design! Now that I have found Doggy Do Good and the #1 solution for my environmental warrior causes, I will forever be a customer. I have spread the news to all my friends and clients.

Thank you for making me happy and for doing what you do...keep up the excellent work and know that Mother Earth is happy for your help.

I use this product for scooping 7 litter boxes for 7 kitties that currently live in my home. This is the biggest poop bag I've found that isn't made out of plastic. It holds all of the cat waste I scoop every day and has never broken from weight of the litter. It will tear if you catch it on something or if a cat comes up behind you and swipes at the bag and gets his claw stuck because he simply can't bear for you to take his pee away. Decently priced and ships quick. We like it and will continue to purchase.

We have 4 cats, with healthy appetites, which means, well you know... lots of litterboxes and each time we have cleaned, we put it all into a plastic grocery bag, tied it off and popped it into the trash. It goes to the landfill and sits and sits and sits. Forever. Enter Doggie Do Good (which should be called Doggie Doo Good) and their poo bags made out of vegetables. I'm fuzzy on the details of that witchcraft so I will just speak to my actual use of these bags (well not me--I am toilet trained). I bought the larger size to ensure the opening was wide enough to get the scoop in--it is. I let the bag sit next to each litter box to get a couple of loads before I moved it to the trash. It holds, I didn't notice any increase in odors. There was a little moisture ring under one bag I had left on the garage floor (it is very hot outside so that probably affected it). No odor, not stain. I recommend filling the bag throughout the day and take to the trash. The grocery bags usually have little holes so I would leave a trail of poo breadcrumbs throughout the house from litter box to litter box--but these bags are solid so now my cats will need to rely on scent only to find the boxes (jk). Overall a great product and I can feel a little less guilty about poo-loading the landfill until I can find a way to make a poo-powered car engine. Thank you Doggy Do Good!

I haven't tried any of the other biodegradable poop bags but I don't think there's a reason for me to try. I've definitely filled it all the way to the top with heavy litter and the handles didn't break when I tied it and threw it in the trash. I also walk my dog with a pooper scooper so I don't need to bring bags around and just drop her poop in the large bag rather than using a small bag each time. The only downside I've found is that the bag is just a little smaller than a normal grocery bag so it doesn't sit quite as well in a normal 1.5 gallon trash can that has a wide opening and sometimes falls in. No problems fitting completely over my smaller trash can with a lid. The other two trash cans that have a wider opening are placed in a large bin so it's not as much of an issue that it doesn't fit perfectly since any debris falls into the bigger bin. Not sure about the litter but just poop definitely breaks down the bag! I try to leave the bag in for 2 weeks for the dog poop since she doesn't "make" enough to fill up a bag in 1 week. But during hotter days, it starts to get a bit slimmy at the bottom at the end of the 2 weeks so I just change it out every week when it's warmer.

As the guardian of both the environment and six felines, I found myself in an ethical quandry about cat litter waste. I recycle nearly all household waste, but was using plastic grocery bags to dispose of cat litter. I hated this! I was thrilled to find this product - the first in my Amazon search - and to see the stellar reviews. I promptly ordered and used my first bag this weekend. The bag size is perfect (comparable to a plastic grocery bag) and the bag itself is sturdy - a huge deal when one is placing heavy litter into it! I think these bags are also of a higher quality than the usual plastic bags that are often riddled with tiny holes and/or tears. You cannot have that when placing waste and tiny pieces of litter into bags (goodness knows, we have enough litter tracking as it is!)! Here's hoping the bags really do biodegrade in 90 days! This is a win-win for my cats/me and the environment!

Love the product but the last three deliveries have been ripped and crushed. I won’t keep purchasing if this is now the norm.

Easy to use. The package makes it easy to remove as many bags as you want, and several can fit comfortably and without bulk into a pock as you walk your pet. The size is excellent for larger dogs. I'm a fan. I like the green colour as well!

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.

I got these large bags since regular ones seemed small for our 90lb dog. They worked well but they are truly giants, was an overkill for our dog but I would recommend for anyone whose dog makes massive poops. ;)

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-friendly I will definitely continue to purchase/use this product!

I bought these bags for a doggie scoop bin I had purchased. I have a fairly big dog. If you wait to scoop the poops, until you have at least enough to fill the scooper and then immediately dispose of the full bag, you will be fine. If you are like me and like to scoop each day, the bag will already be full of holes and won't hold its contents. For my use, the bags fall apart within 5 days. I keep the scooper out of the rain and elements.... they still fall apart to fast for me.
