Amazon Basics Dog Poop Bags with Dispenser and Leash Clip, 13 x 9 Inches, Unscented, Black - 300 Bags (20 Rolls)
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2015', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'As someone who has had years of experience using doggy waste bags, I was so happy to see that the AmazonBasics line now contained this much needed staple.\n\nI currently am using two other brands, Bags on Board and Downtown Pet Supply. All three are comparable in size with the Amazon brand being a little wider at 9” than the other two at 8-¾ “. Bags on Board seems to vary in height depending upon the style. The largest that I have used is 14” high compared to the 13” of the AmazonBasics and 12-½” for the Downtown bags. All the bags come in the same width roll which allows the bag dispensers to be interchangeable, though the included Amazon dispenser seems to be just a bit more roomy allowing for easier dispensing of a full roll.\n\nThe Amazon bags are my favorite, a basic black color, which helps to conceal the contents and they came packaged in a nice frustration free box. More importantly, they feel thicker than the other two brands. The thicker feel makes them seem more secure to me both for picking up the waste and for tying and carrying. Another plus is the printed up arrow with text “open this end” which helps avoid the struggle of trying to open the wrong side of a bag while hanging onto dog leashes.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have two German Shepherds so I am a dog poop expert. Let\'s just say I\'ve picked up a lot of fecal material, far more than most. I always use bags to pick up after my dogs both in my yard (I find the only way to keep up on it is to pick them up immediately) and on walks. I\'ve tried many different poop bags including some commercial bags that normally supply parks and stuff. Amazonbasics poop bags are best, I have been using them since 2015 but am just writing the review now, apparently I didn\'t need the helpful votes I mean because I wanted to thoroughly test them.\n\n- They hardly ever fail or break. I would say lowest failure/breakage rate of any bag I have ever used.\n- They are just the right size for a good sized load from an 80 lb German Shepherd. But they\'ll handle smaller loads too.\n- They are black and pretty opaque. Does anybody really want to see the load?\n- They are unscented. Scented bags don\'t hide anything they just add a gross artificial scent to the natural poop aroma\n- They seem to be slightly thicker than other bags. I haven\'t actually confirmed this, like I haven\'t measured it with a micrometer or anything, but it seems to be the case. Some competitors bags are so thin they feels kinda dicey when you pick up a hot mess.\n- Did I mention they are BLACK? Black is the only color poop bags should ever be made in. Nobody wants to carry a turd in a translucent blue or light green bag for the duration of their morning walk. "Hi Dave, nice seeing you today" (waves with hand holding turd in a bag as the other one has the leashes ... now do you want that turd to be silhouetted by the morning sun in a translucent blue bag or do you want it in a nice opaque black?).\n- They come with a nifty dispenser ... I know, so do many competing products, but again this is a nice low profile black.\n- I feel like AmazonBasics brands are normally geared to be very basic/value products, while that is the case they are a good value these are the best I have tried at any price. This is everything you need in a poop bag.\n\nIf you are looking for a handy way to carry around your best friend\'s bowel movements on your daily walks, or to just pick it up in your yard, look no further. These are craptastic.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2015', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The bags DO fit in the dispenser - I have no idea why people are saying that.\nThe dispenser is also just a freebie - I couldn\'t care less if the thing breaks.\nThe bags are 12.5" x 8.5".\n\nAll I know is that PetSmart charges $20 for 240 bags ($.08/ea)\nYou can get similar bags from Ross/Marshalls for $5 ($.02/ea)\n\nI bought 900 bags for about 1 cent each....I can use 7 bags every time my dog poops and still be getting a better deal than PetSmart.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'First purchase of these bags was great. No issues other than slight difficulty separating from roll, but like another reviewer, we just got in the habit of separating a bag ahead of time. Purchased another box this month and had a disastrous experience with a defective bag with an entirely open bottom seam...only, due to the darkness on a nighttime walk, i didn\'t realize until there was soft, runny poop all over my hand and between my fingers. I was not as far from home as some reviewers, but I broke out into a run to get home (5 blocks) and had to wash my hands at least ten times to get the smell of poop to go away. Hands down the most disgusting experience with my dog to date and may even top the hundreds of dirty diapers changed over the course of two daughters\' lives!\n\nThe defective bag, by the way, was the first of a successive run off about ten bags which I had to stand there ripping with the "good" hand before I could pick up the remaining poop. We since have discovered multiple defective rolls and we only received the box recently and have many more rolls remaining. I intend to request a refund and return the product. I\'d rather pay double or even triple for bags that actually work.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "After decades of dog ownership we have had a variety of experiences following after our dog on walks, policing the yard, etc.\nIt seems brands come and go (no pun intended) and occasionally we've enjoyed a waste bag that deserves 5 stars. This is one of them. The Amazon Basics Dog Waste Bags (900 qty) hit all the spots - cost, quality, user friendliness.\nPros:\n1.Handy arrow pointing to the end to open\n2.Reliable perforations to tear along\n3.Easier to separate the bag sides (some bags seem almost glued closed but not these)\n4.The bag thickness is greater than most, less stretching and tearing (and consequently less cursing and yelling)\n5.Bag printing has a purpose and is a great read/translator for those working on their multilingual prowess. I can't wait for the audiobook version.\n6. A subscription is available for people with 4 Great Danes or other waste prolific breeds\n7. Not see through (self explanatory)\n\nCons:\n1. The plastic these are made from (low density polyethylene) isn't readily biodegradable\n\nUpdate: it's April 2019 and we've used 2-3 daily. Nothing negative has been revealed over these 6 months. Will buy again."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I bought these dog poop bags because my dogs poop, a lot. Everytime we go for a walk they be pooping. I need to pick up their poop because, unlike them, I am civilized. These bags allow me to pick up the poop without getting any on my hand. They even have a convenient stripe printed on them so it's easy to tell which end the bag opens from. I use them like a glove. I reach inside the bag, pick up the poop, and then quickly turn the bag inside out, twist it, and tie it in a knot. Then I look for a neighbor who has left their trash cans out and I drop the bag o' poop in their trash can. It makes me feel like I'm a better person because I pick up my dog's poop, but it also lets me teach my neighbors a lesson about bringing in their trash cans. It's a win-win."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Seriously, I can't believe I'm writing this review much less that it's going to be great review.\n\nI've been buying the PetCo brand SoPhresh (what a stupid name), you know the ones that have donuts or something on them. Occasionally, they are scanted - yep, that's what I said. That and most of the other ones.\n\nAnyway, two dogs, German Shepherds - one the size of a small horse.\n\nAll that being said, I know poop-picking-up - sadly.\n\nBought the Amazon ones.\n\nRight out of the box, better.\n- Gray line on the bags makes it easier to know where the break is to separate the bags from the roll.\n- Arrow pointing to which end opens - this sounds stupid but none of the others have this and it literately saves so much time fumbling around while your dogs recycled expensive dog food is sitting on the ground.\n- Somehow, perhaps Harry Potter Magic for Dogs, the bag is MUCH easier to open, even with one hand then the other brands. Again, this saves a ton of time in the process.\n- The plastic is thicker - again, this seems stupid but until you've accidentally put a finger through a cheap bag or scrape something while picking up and the bag rips - not fun, not fun at all.\n\nSo, to wrap this review up in a tidy little bow, you know, they way we all like to tie up our poop bags - this is the best poop bag on the market.\n\nWhat has my life come to that I'm writing a glowing review of poop bags...."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "It's an interesting commentary on our society that we've reached the point of civilization that allows this item to even exists. What can you say about a box of poop bags? I have a 70 lbs. Boxer and some days he's more productive than others. These bags do the job. The roll fits easily in your pocket and the dispenser is a very functional. My only complaint is that I haven't been able to open the clip on the dispenser. I was going to hang it from my dog's collar and let him carry his own poop bags, but I can't get the clip to open. So, in the pocket it goes as we take our walk and perform our civic doodies..."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Pros:\n1. It's black, and you can't see the poop inside\n2. It's thick and holds up to pointy dry grass and pine straw\n3. Does a pretty good job keeping the smell out\n4. Super low cost, about a penny a bag\n\nCons:\n1. The perforations between the bags could be better so that it's easy to separate\n\nSummary\nThe best part of this bag is that once there's poop inside it, you can't see it. Nothing is more disgusting than walking around with a semi-transparent poop bag with a handful of poop inside. These Amazon bags have no scent, but it does a great job keeping the poop smell out. I rarely get a whiff of poop smell while walking with a full bag. I've tried scented bags, but it does about the same thing as spraying a bathroom with air freshener... Just smells like lavender scented poop.\n\nMy 60 lb dog seems to only poop in areas that are surrounded by sharp dead dried grass or pine straw, just challenging the poop bag. Some of the other brands I've tried, I've had the undesirable experience of getting poop on my hand through a puncture in the bag. With the Amazon brand, this has not happened, and the bag holds up pretty well to sharp poky things.\n\nI'm super happy with the durability and the low cost of these bags. The only complaint is that the perforations between the bags are not that great and it's hard to separate. But even with all that tugging I do, the bag doesn't rip and only separates out at the perforation. Not bad enough to deduct any stars."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have been using the AmazonBasics brand of dog poop bags now for almost 2 years and as long as Amazon keeps manufacturing them the way they currently do, I will continue to use them.\n\nUnlike other bags I have used, the plastic is much stiffer which makes opening the bags far easier and quicker than the very soft plastics used in other brands\n\nI also find that they this stiffness is the perfect degree to provide a more durable bag as well, in the 2 years of using this product I have never had one tear open on my at the seems or when separating along the perforations.\n\nUnlike other bags that are heavily scented to temporarily mask the odors within, these bags are scent free and are sufficiently dense enough to contain unwanted odors of the contents (dog poop). Once sufficiently knotted closed after use, I find that there is no leaking of unwanted odors in case you do not toss them into the garbage right away (or while they wait for garbage pickup in the container).\n\nThe price or cost for these bags is also an excellent selling point, especially if you purchase the larger quantities instead of a a dozen bags at a time.\n\nYes, they only come in black ...... but do you really need colorful and decorated bags to contain your dog poop?????'}]
