Seriously, 2 inches makes a difference! No where is this stated on the packaging. The bags in 120 count and other counts are 14". The bags in the 315 count box are 12". This makes it more difficult to tie the knot. I guess it depends on the size of your dog but be warned.

The company stated that this was done for cost and packaging reasons. They say it was the only way that they could do the 315 count economically. Huh? Come on. "our 315 count is cheaper but we cut out 630 inches of bag length to make it that way", OR approximately "15% less product".

I recently purchased these bags thinking they were convenient as well as good for the environment. I take my dog for a walk 2 times a day and have to use a bag both times, that's a lot of plastic build up, so when I saw these I was elated. I was a little suspicious when I noticed something about *except as defined by California, but I thought 'Hey, they couldn't say it's biodegradable if it wasn't!' so I still got them.

Later on I unfortunately discovered that they aren't as "green" as I thought. Plastic itself will eventually degrade, given enough time. However these bags are made of normal plastic materials so they degrade just as fast as my standard grocery bag would. I normally wouldn't mind this but the fact that they put the "100% Biodegradable" just to make me think it was more environmentally friendly really bothers me about this product.

I intend to return what I bought and buy bags that are actually biodegradable, such as Poopbags.com which are made from corn and other renewable products and decompose within 60-90 days in a commercial composting environment.

Great product. I haven't had a leakage or a bag break when carrying. Still having trouble training dog to steady over it though.

These bags are great, and with two dogs I have to buy a lot of them. I have searched everywhere and this seems to be the best deal on them, especially if you buy enough to get free shipping. The big chain stores charge almost double for this item that eventually gets thrown away anyway!!!

These bags are not biodegradable by any reasonable definition. New legislation in California is taking aim at manufacturers, such as this, that make misleading Green Claims.

Lab tests reflect the composition of these bags to be plain old, Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

These are great and convenient. Just the right size for my Great Pyrenees, no wasted space. They go with me on every walk and I have not had one fail yet. Great idea that I wish I had thought of. I like the white mark at the end you open so that you are not fumbling with the bottom of the bag when speed is of essence.

I bought them under the impression the bags were biodegradable as stated on the listing but when i received the package, the fine print says *except as defined in California*. California defines biodegradable to mean "a material which generally will decompose when it is disposed within one year through natural processes into a nontoxic condition, as defined". So basically for this company to claim it's biodegradable even if it takes 5-10 years to decompose is very misleading. If you're concerned about the environment, as we all should, then this isn't the right product for you.

Unless you want to pay 4 times as much for biodegradable bags these are the next best thing(sorry Earth). I took 2 stars off for the shady advertising and probably should take off more for a company that is deliberately trying to trick consumers. It is good quality at a good price though so I have to go with a 3 star with a bad taste in my mouth rating.

The quality of the plastic has changed on these bags, and it's often next to impossible to open up the bag so you can scoop up your dog's business. You find yourself rubbing the ends of the bag against each other like a maniac on a freezing cold night, trying to do the right thing (but these bags are not making that as easy as it should be to do). I never used to have this problem with this product; I'd search for a different brand unless they address this.

We have two small dogs & I often tend to buy cheapo sandwich bags as poop bags (they're cheap & several fit easily into my pockets.) But I do have a Bags On Board dispenser on each leash because there are times when I may forget to take enough bags (with my two dogs, I tend to have to pick up poo three times per walk...go figure...) or say, when I take them to the vet and I don't even think to take bags.

As many others have said, this pack is cheaper than buying at the local pet stores (especially since I'm an Amazon Prime member & don't have to pay shipping.)
