I bought these bags once before, and I don’t even have a dog — I use them when I scoop cat litter. I like the handles and that the opening is large enough to accommodate the big metal scoop I use. With two indoor cats, it’s probably a couple of pounds of clumped litter in the bag each time, so you want something sturdy. And the bags’ lavender scent makes the task more tolerable.

The handles make the difference. We have 2 dogs and we pick up their poo immediately, even when they are using the back yard. (Our rescued puppy mill mommy has the occasional unfortunate desire to turd-munch... so we are meticulous about immediate clean up.) These bags are very nice because of the handles. This is a sure-fire way to tell which end needs opened. When cleaning up after multiple dogs, ya DONT wanna have difficulty separating the bag opening. (Cant wet your fingers for a better grip, cuz those fingers are working on picking up poo!) These separate easily. The one thing that did surprise me, initially, was that they are not on a roll. This is okay, It takes up a little more room than a roll, but its worth the trade-off. We opted for the unscented due to the mixed reviews on the scented kind. The actual BAG area is a bit smaller on these with the handles, but not too small for the job. I could see how it might be a little problematic for a big dog/ with big poo when ya need ever millimeter there is, but it is minor for us. I purchased this brand in both the handle and the regular bag. I will buy the handle one from now, on. I do miss the bargain of the ginormous box of poo bag rolls we used to buy, but for now, we are switching to these. Good luck with your decision for whats right for your household.

I love the handles, they make it easier to tie and carry, also the size is large enough to accommodate the waste of a bigger dog.

For real, Ive been using them for more than a year. I open them and turn them inside out (dont need to turn it inside, its just my thing.) After grabbing the p00p I grab the handles with my other hand, brining them up and over. No p00p touches human skin. Then we go to the dumpster to make our p00p deposit. I prefer to open the bags fully, turn them inside out. I do a whole bunch so I dont have to struggle PP (post p00p). Just pennies per p00p these are a real winner.

They work as advertised however I didnt by them for dog poo so for my purposes they are a bit small for what I wanted but dont let that deter you from enjoying this product. Quality is good!

This is not a thin bag. Sometime when you get those poop bag dispenser bags it feels like your fingers will poke through the bag. That will definitely not happen with this bag. Very sturdy good quality bag. The scent of the bag last. Some bags loses their scent once you open the box. That will not happen with these bags.

i feel like for some reason the opening of the bag feels different while actually scooping the poop. its harder to contain. it seems both styles should be the same except you get a tie but it feels weird. a couple of times i almost got poop on my hands. possibly because the opening is wider? tying a knot after is def easier with the handle version, but the moment of scooping and turning inside out feels weird. the bags are definitely my favorite though, in terms of toughness, material, and feel. the handle vs non handle will be personal preference.

I have a large dog so I need handles. Sturdy and size is perfect.

Ive tried the other bags that come in a roll and tear off but I seem to always rip holes in them no matter what I do. These bags are not on a roll and separate easily for quick pickups. The handles are ideal for tying and transporting until I find a garbage can. The only downside is you can sometimes smell the contents but having a thicker bag to stop the smell would raise the cost and make them too thick to conveniently carry. All and all, I LOVE these bags and hope they continue to make them for years to come.

I do love these dog bags. The handles make tying the bag a breeze, which is often easier said than done with two dogs on leashes. The bags are thick, not a flimsy plastic, a good size, and are easy to open and use. Multiple paws and thumbs up!
