Great bags

Regular Size is Too Small
The nice thing about the BioBags is that they open easily (the sides don't get stuck together), and that they are biodegradable - although, I'm not sure how beneficial the latter is if the bags end up inside another non-biodegradable bag, e.g. in the town park.
The problem with the BioBag (regular size) is that it is only 7.4" wide, as compared to 8.5" for...

Regular Size is Too Small, September 13, 2009
This review is from: BioBag Dog Waste Compostable Bags, 50-Count Boxes (Pack of 4) (Grocery)
The nice thing about the BioBags is that they open easily (the sides don't get stuck together), and that they are biodegradable - although, I'm not sure how beneficial the latter is if the bags end up inside another non-biodegradable bag, e.g. in the town park.
The problem with the BioBag (regular size) is that it is only 7.4" wide, as compared to 8.5" for the Mutt Mitt and 10.7" for the Pooch Pick-Up bag. (All measurements are of one side of the bag, when it is opened and laid flat.) Instructions show you putting your hand through the bag and picking up the poop, and pulling it back through the bag. Unfortunately sometimes it is a tight fit to get your hand plus the poop back through this bag. If the poop is on the messy side, it can easily touch and stick to the inside top of the bag, and then maybe to you. (My experience is with a medium sized dog, but I think you could have the same problem with a small dog.) I find myself being very careful pulling the poop through, and I have sometimes had to put the dirty bag inside a second bag...then get out some sanitary wipes for my hands.
The BioBag has from 1 to 3 dime-sized holes near the top (not sure why the hole punching seems to be inconsistent), so you can use one as a carrying handle by looping it over a finger. The actual purpose of the holes are so that you can pull through the other side of the bag as a way of closing it.

Great bags, October 29, 2009
This review is from: BioBag Dog Waste Compostable Bags, 50-Count Boxes (Pack of 4) (Grocery)
I purchased these bags at my local grocers and I love them. After doing some research on earth friendly/biodegradable bags, these bags makes the cut. (Here is the link for the product site which give you the facts on these bags: [...]) I purchased the regular bags and the bags are a nice size. I am sure you could even pick up a large dogs feces in these bags. They come in a recyclable box and the bags are lumped together with a perforated top. I read another person's review and they had mentioned that these bags are difficult to open, but it is not true. You separate the bag from the perforated top and they are opened. Also, I love how there are holes on the top of the bag, so instead of tying a knot, you just stick one side through the hole and seal it that way. Pretty neat, in my opinion. Overall, these are great bags and they are great for the environment. The only thing I wish is that Amazon would offer the Subscribe & Save feature for this product.

Great Idea, finally!, December 15, 2009
This review is from: BioBag Dog Waste Compostable Bags, 50-Count Boxes (Pack of 4) (Grocery)
Getting ready to order again. These are great because they compost very quickly. BUT, some of the bags have tears in the bottom, so remember to always carry extra so you have emergency 'back-up' bags! A bit costly but, again, better for the environment.

Dog waste bags, June 12, 2010
This review is from: BioBag Dog Waste Compostable Bags, 50-Count Boxes (Pack of 4) (Grocery)
I love these bags. They're easy to store in a drawer or in the car. I coud easily put several in my pocket or attach to the leash with a rubber band. Highly recommend these easy to use biodegradeable bags!

Just as expected, June 1, 2010
This review is from: BioBag Dog Waste Compostable Bags, 50-Count Boxes (Pack of 4) (Grocery)
Have been using them for a month and have had only one instance where a weak bag broke. I have a medium size dog (23 pounds) and would not recommend them for an extra large dogs due to size. Have a couple in compost and they appear to be breaking down appropriately. All in all, the product delivers as expected.

Good but a little small, February 28, 2010
I foster dogs of all sizes for a local shelter. My forever dog is an 80lb lab mix. For larger dogs like our lab, the large bags are a must. We use the regular for anything under about 50lbs, I would guess. For really big dogs, like a 100lb great pyranees we had recently, even the big bags don't cut it. If you have a bear or a St Bernard, you may find these bags too small.
These bags also compost as promised, even in my slow, unmanaged home yard composter (don't worry, it doesn't go on any food crops). The bags take about 6 months to a year to degrade completely under these conditions--I would say a few months slower than "regular" slow-composting items like corn cobs, for example. It helps if you don't tie the bag off completely, or rip it right before adding to the composter, so the poo microbes can get to work heating up the surrounding compost instead of dying in the plastic while they wait.

Great product!, October 8, 2009
This review is from: BioBag Dog Waste Compostable Bags, 50-Count Boxes (Pack of 4) (Grocery)
We've been using these bags for almost two years, and we love them. They look and feel like thin stretchy plastic, and they are surprisingly strong. I even accidentally ran a few through the washer & dryer, and they worked fine. These come in two sizes, and I recommend trying a bag with the same dimensions before buying in bulk. Well worth the few pennies per bag to reduce the environmental impact.

Poop Detail Made Easier for a Woman with Three Dogs, October 4, 2009
This review is from: BioBag Dog Waste Compostable Bags, 50-Count Boxes (Pack of 4) (Grocery)
I like this products, they are lightweight and I was told by the Green Store near us that you could actually give these to farmers to use in their compost. Thought we have not yet done that, we have used TONS of these bags. We originally started off with recycling the plastic bags that stores give you- and although I would stick as much poop as I could in there, I still felt bad about what they were doing to the environment. I have also on numerous occasions had a bag break on me. However, since we switched to these bags, I have not yet had one issue- regardless of a dog stepping on them while playing, getting pulled extremely tight in a leash, etc. They are so tiny, you can easily fit 5 or 6 in your pocket without having all the bulk that you would with plastic bags. The best part is, that it easily accommodates all the deposits that each of my dogs make-whether it be my 5 month old puppy, my 60 pound husky, or my 80 pound aussie/chow mix.

Dog Waste Bags, September 28, 2009
This review is from: BioBag Dog Waste Compostable Bags, 50-Count Boxes (Pack of 4) (Grocery)
I have two large breed dogs and live in a metropolitan area. Quite frankly I purchased the bags so on those occasions when there are no waste receptacles, I can dispose of the bags in a wooded or brushy area, with less guilt. I probably should have purchased the larger size since there are times I need to use two bags for one deposit. Although sometimes I have difficulty tearing off on the perforation (it does make a difference in how you hang them on a hook) I will purchase these again.

For Environmentally Concerned Pet Owners, July 21, 2010
This review is from: BioBag Dog Waste Compostable Bags, 50-Count Boxes (Pack of 4) (Grocery)
We have a greyhound that can put out a lot of poo to be disposed of. I was concerned about the amount of plastic bags we were using and adding to land fills. After doing some research I found that these bags were 100% biodegradable in a reasonable amount of time while other so called biodegradable bags would actually leave some plastic residue. This company also makes garbage can bags as well which I can find at a local Whole Foods but no local merchants carry the pet waste bags. So I order them from Amazon in a quantity that will qualify for super saver shipping. I always get them quickly in a very timely manner. These bags are also quite easy to open up when ready to scoop up waste. I've struggled with many of the other bags out there trying to open them up. These are a more expensive product but really worth it for dog owners who have to dispose of the waste in the trash.
