Environmental Impact

Design & Functionality

Pros:

• "They are super cute and functional."
• "And the dog faces help you tell which end is top."
• "These bags easily tear off the roll, open easily and are the perfect size."
• "These bags are sturdy enough to do the job and yet still breakdown in a reasonable amount of time."

• "They are neon green which makes them easy to find if you’re hiking and need to pick up on the way back to the car."
• "It is a larger size than most bags so you’re not struggling to get your hand in the bag."

Cons:

• "I wish they were a little bit stronger, but I recommend this product."
• "Most of the time the bags are easy to open but occasionally I’ll get a role where opening the bags is a little tricky however they’ve never torn."
• "The only minor complaint would be that the sticker that must be removed before beginning a new roll is slightly difficult to remove without tearing the bag."
• "I really wanted a biodegradable bag. But this set is frustrating, the bags constantly come unraveled in the holder."
• "It's true that they're a little hard to open, but really, what dog bag isn't hard to open?"
• "It is a little difficult to get them out of the container we have on our leash."
• "The neon green is kind of horrific, but makes them easy to find if you drop one."

Quality & Durability

Pros:

• "These bags tear along the perforations with ease. They are easy to open and pull over the hand to execute the ‘pick up’."
• "They are sturdy yet perforated well so they are easy to tear apart and don't stick together at all!"
• "They are thin enough to make picking up easy and strong enough to resist being punctured by the stem of a maple leaf, for example."
• "These sturdy bags can hold pounds, I tell ya!"
• "These bags are of a noticeably thicker ply than any of the others we have tried."
• "They are strong, thick, and large enough for the days my bully takes a big one."
• "They are also very sturdy. I've never had one rip or tear."

Cons:

• "Nearly half of the bags I try to use tear before I have a chance to use them."
• "Recently the bags have had a split down the sides in all the bags so they can't be used as bags anymore, some also had a have split at the bottom of the bag."
• "On each roll there are 3 or 4 bags that have slits (open long holes) on the bottom."
• "These are so flimsy and thin that you just need to plan on at least one finger touching poop."
• "I have found that some of the rolls are reliable, but then I will get an entire roll that just rips apart and shreds when pulling out of the dispenser."
• "They are thinner than traditional bags so they do tend to tear if one is rough with them."
• "Unfortunately, several bags have ripped at the bottom or along the side/body while either removing the sticker from them or tearing them off the roll."
