Good price, with some problems
For the price, these poo bags are reasonable. With two dogs who relieve themselves several times per day, the bags have lasted a very long time (we have been using them for over one year). That said, they have left us looking for more in an excrement bag, as detailed below. 1. These bags are quite thin when compared to more expensive brands. Our dogs like to defecate in bushes, and such, sometimes causing perforation when the plastic is confronted with such rigorous clean up duties. 2. When carrying excrement, the pungent odor can easily be discerned escaping from a tied-off bag. 3. Their volume is smaller than some more expensive options due to a decrease in length (12" vs 14"). This only becomes a problem when picking up a significant amount of poo, at which point it can get dangerously close to one's hands. (Dog feces on my fingers is something I try very hard to avoid.) This can also make tying the bag off challenging. 4. Although they claim to be biodegradable, these poo bags do not meet California Law SB1749 for compostable products claims. They are made from plastic rather than biodegradable material (such as plant products) and leave plastic fragments in the environment after 'biodegrading.' All things considered, we will be purchasing higher quality bags in the future, which we used prior to trying this mass of bags. *Update: They no longer claim on the Amazon site that the bags are biodegradable, as was the case in the past, which is certainly a move in the right direction.
