   These bags are plain old plastic with a chemical catalyst (heavy metals like Cobalt and Lead) that are supposed to help the plastic break down…into millions of pieces of plastic. This is not biodegradation.

   These do not meet the ASTM 6400-99 specification for biodegradability. They do not meet the California requirement for use of the term biodegradable.

   Buyer beware.

   The bags are a bit thin and will tear if you are not careful. However, they get the job done, and you really can’t beat the price. I would order them again. The dispenser is nothing to brag about, but I was ordering these to fill a dispenser I had so I just chucked the free one.

   Poop bags are so expensive. We have two dogs and go through so many. I also like that they are biodegradable and easy to open. I don’t use the dispenser.

   For many, many years, I’ve been saving the plastic bag the newspaper comes in to use as a bag to pick up after my dogs. And for many, many years, I’ve thought “one of these days, I’m going to BUY bags.”

   This thought would usually come following a pickup-gone-bad. In other words, one of those mornings where I discovered that the newspaper bag actually had a few holes in it as a result of the newspaper sliding on the concrete driveway when it was delivered.

   I finally decided I would check on Amazon to see what kind of dog waste bags were available and settled on these. I figured that 700 bags would last close to a year (two dogs… do the math), but I didn’t want to buy a larger supply as I wasn’t sure where I was going to store all those rolls of bags.

   I shouldn’t have worried. In fact, when my 700 bags arrived, I initially thought that they had screwed up the order, because I couldn’t believe that there were THAT many bags in THAT small a box. But they really take up almost no room at all. (I HAVE POSTED PRODUCT PHOTOS SHOWING JUST HOW SMALL THESE BAG-ROLLS ARE.)

   Despite the small size of the rolls, each individual bag is more than ample in size. In fact, I have two dogs –a 60-pound border collie, and a 100-pound lab, and neither of them can “produce” anything that can’t be cleanly picked up. And let’s be honest. That IS the most important attribute of a dog-waste-bag. A CLEAN pick up. Because a “dirty” pickup with wreck your whole morning!

   One tip though… the bags are VERY static-prone when removed from the roll, and I discovered that I was spending a lot of time if I tried opening each bag while out on a walk with the dogs. So what I do now, is every few weekends, I unroll a couple of rolls, and unfold all the bags in them so that when I go out with the dogs, I’m bringing bags with me that are already to use.

   The price for these bags is unbeatable and I received 5 extra rolls because they were out of blue and sent purple instead. I don’t care much about the color so additional bags for the same price seems like a good deal. On the down side, the bags are thin so I would not recommend them for anything bigger than a 10 pound pup. If you’re looking for a sturdier bag, I would not get these.
