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.

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!

These bags are a great bag. I use mine for cleaning the litter box. I use to use grocery bags. I found alot of leaking litter out of the bag. Also struggled with grocery bags ripping. These doggie bags are thick and big. They have a little bit of stretch without ripping too. Which is great cuz my cat liked to get in my way and get on the bag while I'm scooping. No more pulling the bag away to just have it rip and clean up the mess. I can tie the bag and throw it in the garbage. My kids aren't complaining like before. "Mom did you just throw the litter in the garbage" haha.

These bags have quite a large opening. It is fairly easy to scoop from your litter box to these bags. The bags are also quite large, for litter bags (not sure how they compare to doggie bags) and depending on how many cats you have you should be able to get 2 days (2 medium/large cats) of waste into a bag. If using for more than 1 day of litter (2 cats) the handles do have a tendency to tear. Resting the bottom of the bag on the floor as you fill it or using a small container (very small office garbage can or anything sturdy of that size) to support the bag alleviates this issue. Once the bag is full the handles tie off easily. When disposing of bag is be careful. If you have more than 1 day of waste from 2 medium large/medium cats the handles can tear. This has only happened to me twice but as the material is quite thin once it starts to tear it tears quickly. I do recommend this product.

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.

I've been using these bags for a couple of years now and they work great! I use them when I clean my cats litter box which I do daily. The X-Large size is perfect to fit my pooper scooper into the bag while I put my cats waste in it. The handles make it simple to tie the bag up and I'm done. The best thing I love about these bags is that they are biodegradable! I feel much better that I'm doing my part in reducing my carbon footprint!

Context: 6 cats, 6 very large litter boxes (https://www.amazon.com/Petmate-Giant-Litter-Storage-Bleached/dp/B000HHLVA4?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2), clumping corn litter about 2" deep. Scoop about every 3 days (2 boxes heinous crap-piles, 2 untouched, 2 light scoops). When the litter gets too degraded/stinky I just dump them out into a shopping bag in an old litter tub. These bags are NOT the size of a standard shopping bag. They are like medium-small bags you might get at a dollar store or something. I had to use 2 of them for one scoop session. If you have fewer cats or scoop every day, this is probably fine. But I have no idea how I am going to dump the boxes now. Can someone out there please design some bags for multiple cat people? So far, I only used 2 bags so not sure if the bottoms fall out on these further down the box. Will update my post if that happens. Definitely checked each bag based on the other reviews. The tape that holds the roll together was fairly easy to pull off once you got a nail under it, and when you separate the bags, you have to hold onto the next bag to make sure you pull along the perforation. It's *easy*, but if you weren't paying any attention and just grabbed/ripped you could probably easily tear the bags. Texture: The bags are vegetable based, so if you soaked them in water, they would eventually turn to gelatin. But they are not gelatinous in your hands or anything. They are softer than a typical shopping bag. I held one handle up and the other flopped, but most plastic does the same thing. The fact that they were so small meant that they filled up quickly, which held them open for the scoop. The handles tie off nicely and I was able to carry the two bags (maybe around 7lbs each) to the trash outside without worrying they would break. Pics: Small box; bag next to Pet Store standard plastic shopping bag (black cat tax); bag perforation; bag stretched tight over a Tidy Cat litter tub; shopping bag casually draped over the same tub with inches to spare when you put weight in it; the stress marks from stretching the poo bag over the tub.

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.
