PupRepublic Biodegradable Poop Bags, Earth Friendly Cornstarch, 8 Refill Rolls,Top Compostable Rating ASTM D6400,120 Large,Strong,Unscented,Leak-Proof Dog Waste Bags

Summary is at the end.....I took a chance on these bags since the manufacturer claimed that they met ASTM D6400 standards but the product had yet to be reviewed. My purchase of this item depended wholly on the item information available when compared to other bags' reviews and descriptions. We are diligent about cleaning up behind our dog, so we run through quite a few poop bags. It was important to me that I found bags that were allegedly truly biodegradable, since I care about my impact on the environment. Additional criteria included: large enough for us to use AND DID NOT TEAR. So far, both of those have been met.So overall, in summary: bags claim ASTM D6400 standards, are large enough to be used, are thick enough to withstand use and not allow any poop smell to get onto your hands, lack any strongly offensive odors, tear well at the perforations, and actually look good.

I've been thrilled with these bags thus far and have been using them about 3 or 4 months now. One of the reasons I was drawn to this product is that since they're made with cornstarch, they're truly biodegradable as opposed to the plastic bags listed as compostable. those bags still take HUNDREDS of years and need to be truly composted...but once they're filled with pet waste, you shouldn't/can't compost them. It's a catch-22 that these cornstarch bags avoid altogether.They're large enough to easily use without getting anything on you and do a decent job keeping the smell sealed inside the bag. I'm VERY pleased.

Excellent doggie bags! My 80 lb. pitte needs good-sized strong bags and these work wonderfully. All-around excellent product. I love that these are biodegradable-it makes me feel as though I'm doing my little part for the environment. I love the print on the bags-nice stylistic choice :) with the added bonus that the printed text makes it very easy to tell which side is up (the opening) so I'm not fidgeting to get one open. Additionally, they open/separate easily, unlike other bags I've used. These are thin feeling and soft (really-sounds strange but they are and I like it) but SUPER sturdy.

Love these bags. I’ve been using them for about 6 months and have gone through several boxes. They are strong, easy to open, and best of all commercially compostable and I live in area with commercial composting. Sometimes I do have to take 1 bag off the roll before they will fit into my standard bag dispenser on my leash, but other times I don’t. If I do, I just tie that bag to the leash and use it first. They are also extremely reasonable. I’ve scheduled a regular delivery of these bags from amazon.

they do the job well. the opened size is good, I can get my XL hand in it and get the job done. I also like the stored size, I can keep a roll in my plier pocket of my carpenter pants.

The bags separate easily at the perforation (I can do it one-handed) and open easily. Haven’t had any problems with the bags ripping. You can feel what you’re grabbing through the bag a bit more than you can with plastic, but hey- small price to pay for avoiding something that won’t ever biodegrade.

I had high hopes for these bags, but sadly, they didn't live up to expectations. Several have tears and holes in them. They are rather flimsy in comparison to others I have bought. All in all, I will not purchase again.Update: Caroline and Nicky, owners, have answered my review. New bags arrived this afternoon. Thank you for the quick response and solution.

I rarely write reviews, but my daughter and I (co-dog walkers) agree that we should complain. These bags tear apart. Who likes to get dog poop on their hands? We will use up the package, but we have to take extras along and after we open a bag, make sure it isn't already torn. Very disappointed.
