These are the perfect size for scooping the cat box. I have 2 cats and scoop several times a day. I tie them up and put them in a small step trash can w/ a lid next to the litter box. They keep the odor down and they are compostable! Yay!

These bags make no claim to being biodegradable or environmentally friendly, but they are designed to endure mountains of feces while keeping your hands odor-free. Plastic dispenser for extracting bags from rolls; carabiner-style clasp for connecting dispenser to a leash. Scented bags with pleasant scents like Lavender, Talcum Powder, Cucumber, or Brazilian Mango help mask aggressive odors. Relax, unscented is also available.

I've been using these instead of grocery bags to scoop litter. Seems to seal the odors just fine for the couple of days they're in the apartment.

Pogi’s leak-proof bags are exceptionally roomy and environmentally friendly, as they’re composed of oxo-biodegradable plastic that degrades in 18 months. Although basic rolls are available, the handled variety is really convenient for tying off and carrying. They’re too big to fit in a typical dispenser, but they’re intelligently constructed to dispense right from the box. The clean powder aroma is also great in masking the contents of the bag, so you won’t feel like you’re wearing perfume while carrying poop.

Good value, work well, and have a very pleasant odor. A little hard to pull out of the box one by one.

The Earth Rated Dog Poop Bags have been cleaning up after man’s best friend for years, due to their leak-proof premium pet poop bags that measure 9″ by 13″ and can handle even giant dogs and their… huge dog things. The bags, which are available in unscented and lavender scents and are guaranteed to block off smells, are constructed from recyclable material and are simple to open, which is ideal for dog owners who want to do their business and move on.

These seam to be good bags. The size is good and it does block the odor. I can walk by the trash and not hit a wall of stink. I would recommend them. Easy to use.

Pet N Pet bags are heavy-duty and leak-proof, so you’ll never have to worry about a stinky surprise when you open them. These bags are large enough that you can simply tie a knot on the top to keep the waste contained. Although not all of the bags we tested had enough room for this, we believe it is an important feature. No messes were made because they were large enough to fit effortlessly over everyone’s hands.

These are the best bags we've used. They are easy to find the end and tear it off. They're thick and impermeable to odor. We use them to lean out our cat litter boxes and we hope they're available when I need to order them again.

If you are sensitive to odors yet don’t want to smell your dog’s daily drop-off, we suggest Petmate Arm & Hammer pet waste bags. Each bag is activated with baking soda to help neutralize smells, which is great news for dog owners who prefer to take their pets on long walks in regions with few trash cans. The Petmate’s odor neutralizing bags are two times thicker than a standard plastic grocery store bag and come with an easy tie option.

These are the easiest waste bags to open. So many other brands you have to either wet your fingers or rub the bag between your hands to finally get them to open. The scent on the bags isn't over powering, and does a great job of keeping in the odors. These will be the only bags that I'll buy from now on.

Gorilla can easily cover you for a year for about $17.49 for 1,000 bags on Amazon. Surprisingly, for a low-cost choice, their baggies match all of our major criteria and then some: They’re big, easy to throw away, and flexible yet still durable. They’re also beneficial for the environment since the rolls don’t have a wasted paper core and are constructed of BPA-free, photodegradable plastic that degrades in 12 to 36 months when exposed to sunshine.

these are the sturdiest bags you can buy. I have been using them for about 4 years now and have never had any break. I also like that they are not see through and don’t emit a lot of odor. They are a great quality for the price. I will never use another bag by choice again.

When odors are contained in the bag, there is no need for cover-ups. The PL360 Dog Waste Bags are constructed entirely of recycled materials, with 35% of the material coming from post-consumer waste. On top of that, because of the thick and robust bag structure, feces, fluids, and scents are held together with ease. You’ll also like how effortlessly the bag can be torn off the roll with little effort.

After another brand broke at the bottom seam on more than one roll (You had ONE job.), I've tried 2 or 3 other brands hoping to find one that doesn't break, holds the smell well, opens easily, and feel strong enough. These are all of that and biodegradable. Worth every penny.

Take a look at how lovely these poo bags are! This pick, which is made of a plant-based starch combination, is exceptionally thick and leakproof, making it ideal for messes and spills on the go. Its 13″ by 9″ bag size provides enough protection for your whole hand, as well as space for tying. Furthermore, the easy-to-tear seams are prominent, so you will never have to strain to separate the bags.

I really like these bags . They are heavy duty, and catch the smell. I only wish the roll had more bags , but still great product! It’s hard to find thicker bags out there. Most are super cheap , but these are amazing
