Earth Rated Dog Poop Bags, Guaranteed Leak Proof and Extra Thick Waste Bag Refill Rolls For Dogs, Lavender Scented, 270 Count
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Is it possible to love a dog poop bag? Heck yeah! I'm a veterinarian and I have tried many brands of bags over the years but since I discovered the Earth Rated Dog Waste Bags I use no other. I use the scented bags because on long walks it kind of disguises the smell of the feces (except those that are really potent), so you don't smell like feces to any passerby. I usually prefer unscented things because I have a sensitive nose and for those inclined, Earth Rated does offer non-scented bags. The Earth Rated bags are also a bit longer than a few other brands though most are similar length. However, the bags are definitely heavier than many other brands and also have way better sealed seams as well as high quality separation perforations. The central cylinder glides easily in every brand of bag holder I have. Lastly, a small but important detail...you know that small piece of tape that holds a new roll together? Most brands use a tape that when you pull it off it puts a hole in the opposing part of the bag if you don't very carefully remove it. A hole at the top of a bag is no big deal but further down can lead to leakage. The Earth Rated tape comes off real nice and my first bag isn't destroyed. Overall a very strong, well made bag that has never let me down. It can hold any load big or small, firm or loose and will not leak or tear."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Nowhere on this page, the box, or the bags is there anything about them being biodegradable. They seem to be made of plain old medium-duty plastic. I'm sorry that I fell for the con; it's all marketing. They also stink of some perfumy scented chemical.\nLook for your biodegradable bags elsewhere. I will."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'After doing some extensive research the only thing eco-friendly about these bags is the recycled cardboard the box is made of they come in. The bags aren’t made from recycled plastic, they are not compostable, they are not biodegradable. I know they don’t made these claims but it’s trickery with marketing. My Alphapet poop bags are what you’re looking for. Made of cornstarch and biodegrade within a month. They even come scented if you desire. I live in SF and we do not use any plastic bags at all. So this probably bothers me more than most. But I’ve told all my friends with dog who were also shocked to find this out. They do make a biodegradable bag but it’s white and super expensive.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These bags are awesome! I have 2 dogs, one medium and one LARGE. Picking up after them is gross, necessary and gross. Did I mention gross? Warren, my big doggie, poos large hobo sized dukes. I’d pretty much need a dang grocery bag to collect them. And there’s not a lot of thickness to that plastic. Regular poo bags I’ve had in the past were small and I have had to use multiples. More than once I’ve had dog crap get on my hands.\nWhat’s not to love? These bags are large! Open wide, green bag! And they smell like strong lavender so it really cuts the POW smell of fresh dog doo in your hand. And they are strong enough to grab grass on those “soft serve ice cream” days. Anyway- 5 stars, Earth Rated Dog Poop Bags! Good boy! Good girl!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "With big dogs comes big poops. Being a proud Newfoundland mommy, I've been through many a poop bag in my day (literally through, because Newf poop is heavy and so many bags are too flimsy to support it), and these are the absolute best. Not only are they thick enough that I trust them not to break, but they mask the smell so well!\n\nGross detail to attest to the strength of these bags: my female has relatively small poops in comparison to my male. He tends to go #2 two or three times per walk, which can get expensive in the poop bag department. Since the female is very good about doing her business early on, I'm able to pick hers up and hold the bag for reuse when the male inevitably goes a few steps away. I've never seen a single hole appear in these bags, not even while scraping up the runny poops on concrete."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'We have always used grocery bags for our cat litter clean up. But since we buy online a lot more now we keep running out of grocery bags and were having to resort to using Ziplock bags. So, I did a search on Amazon and found these, and thought we would try them out. Well, one of our son’s chores is to clean out the litter boxes. Because of this, I have not had a chance to see how they worked until this week. He is at Boy Scout camp all we so I have been having to do his chores. Let me tell you, I LOVE these little bags they are absolutely perfect! They smell great, they are the perfect size, and they are very durable. We have 2 cats and two litter boxes and my pictures are after two days of litter box use. This bag held 2 days of pee and poop clumps and still had plenty of room for more. When I’m done I rip the top of the bag and tie it together. Super easy! Before I started writing this review I saw another one on here with a picture of a bag holder on a leash. I went and checked it out and ordered one. We can hang that on the wire shelf next to the litter boxes. How convenient! Wish I would have seen that when I ordered a box of these bags. Can’t wait to get it! (Earth Rated Leash Dispenser for Dog Waste Bags). So, if your like me and need the perfect bags for cat litter clean up, these are it! I highly recommend them!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'It’s a poop bag, so I’ll keep this as brief as possible. I obsessed over which pop-bag to order for our Bernese puppy for well over two weeks. I read an insane amount of reviews and even made a list so I could keep my favorites in one place. I considered every point. So here it is...\n\nPros:\n- While many say poop smells like poop and they don’t need the extra scent, holy cow it helps!! My puppy has über stinky poo, the lavender scent is welcomed! I generally hold my breath as I scoop but at least the last whiff is pleasant.\n- Super easy to tear!! When a pup is pulling to move on post deposit, fiddling with the bags can seriously induce anger. No issue with these! (I had tried dollar store brand and even leftover baby diaper bags, nothing compared!)\n- Open relatively easily. I say relatively because dry winter hands don’t get a great grip, but any moisture to your skin and that little “pinchy-snap” action will open this bag for cleanup!\n- They’re truly biodegradable. I know, I know some don’t care and the contents aren’t exactly great for the environment either, but I feel like I’m doing my part. 2-3 bags per day. 1,095 bags per year. Over 10,000 bags in his lifetime. Less guilt.\n- Large size!! Big dog, big poop. Like scary big. This bag is large enough to do the trick, tie the end, and not get poo on your hand. Win.\n\nCons (sort of):\n- They’re not the cheapest. I can’t be the only person who calculated the cost per bag. But the bottom line is 270 bags should last me at least 90 days at 3 per day. So roughly $3.99 per month... I don’t even question a Starbucks per month which costs wayyy more. $0.02 cents more per bag, I can handle it for the earth friendly feature.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': " I never imagined I'd grow up to write reviews of dog poop bags on the internet, yet here I am. I guess when you spend as much time as I do standing outside waiting for your dog to poop while he smells the same spot for 20 minutes, you start to think about things.\n\nA lot of poop bags are so hard to get open, which is not ideal.\nMy dog also prefers the feeling of mulch underfoot as he relieves himself. It's really hard to pick up poop from mulch without also retrieving a bunch of mulch. Wood chips and plastic bags typically don't mix, but these bad boys (or should I say good boys?) are able to handle the mulch without ripping and tearing which is awesome in my book.\n\nLastly, I don't typically like the smell of fake lavender, but these actually have a really nice scent that does a fairly good job of blocking scent. Great for someone like me who is astonishingly lazy and will put it in my garbage can.\nThank you for reading my dog poop bag review! Petey and minnie approve !!!!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Will be returning these. The smell is utterly overwhelming. Does not smell anything like lavender. I had them in a bag in my kitchen and my entire kitchen reeks. I put them outside on my patio in the sun for two days and the entire patio stinks. Am I the only one who feels this way? Isn't anyone a little suspicious that there are over 11,000 reviews of ... dog poop bags?"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I originally purchased these for scooping up doggie doo after reading a review that blew my mind. In comparison to regular dog poo bags, they're bigger, stronger, and scented. I can easily fit the poo of two dogs into one bag. The scent IS more artificial and overpowering than I anticipated. That being said, it is because of those two factors that it OVERSHADOWS THE SMELL OF THE POO!!!! Yea!!!!\n\nAs a side benefit, I found these bags to be perfect for stinky diapers. The bags cover the smell so they can be disposed of in the normal trash so that I don't have to freeze my butt off running every stinky diaper out to the trash in the winter time. I also don't have to deal with a diaper genie anymore that about knocked me out every time I emptied it every two to three days.\n\nThese bags are a staple in our house!!!\n\nLastly, my sister purchased the amazon bags that are similar to these in lavender and I was able to find out that the Earth Rated (while a little pricier) are WAY better!!! The amazon bags smell better (less artificial), but don't mask the smell of poo nearly as well. I have to double bag with those ones, so they're less effective and less economical. Only plus is the better smell.\n\nHighly recommend this product"}]
