Flush Puppies Doodie Bags, Flushable & Certified Compostable, 4 Refill Rolls (40 Bags)

I have a specific trash can for my dog's "waste", but I clean it once a week when I take all the trash out.I was getting tired of the cumulated doo-doo in plastic bags. I used to buy the lavender scented ones but after a while the lavender would be M.I.A and I would only smell that HORRIBLE waste smell.I heard about these flushable bags and read the reviews on this specific brand. I didn't know what to expect since some of them are good while others say the bag melted in the hands of the dog owner.In my personal experience ... I have had NO ISSUES with it!They are a little slimy or moist and that might be a weird feeling but I'm pretty sure it has a purpose.I use them every time an flush them with no problems at all. I do, however, let it get wet and sink in the toilet before I flush to avoid clogs.Of course if I'm walking my dog long-distance I have the plastic ones so I can pick the doo-doo and carry it until we find a trash can, but other than that I use Flush Puppies!Truly Recommended! No more bad smell!

I love these REAL compostable bags! I love that they're flushable and don't harm the Earth.I hate seeing the other doggie poop bags who have glaringly "green" packaging and promote and advertise themselves as "biodegradable". Those are NOT truly biodegradable. They are usually "oxo-biodegradable" which basically means they need oxygen and/or sunlight to biodegrade. Think about that for a second – those dog poop bags will most likely end up at the bottom of a gigantic trash pile somewhere, where there is NO oxygen OR sunlight hitting it. Therefore, it won't biodegrade.I like that these bags compost. Sure, they have a weird funky smell to it, and if your dog is pooping MASSIVE piles of poop, the bags might start to get a little warm. I personally have had no problem with these bags, other than the price. These are expensive but well worth the price in my opinion.Note: you should not tie the bag up when flushing. This will create a bubble which might clog your toilet. I just loosely fold it over and down the toilet it goes.

I have read some of the other reviews here and I think I've come to the conclusion that these bags are great for small dogs with small poops. My dogs are both about 50 pounds.I had a couple of quibbles.... first of all, it was very difficult to tear this bags apart from each other at the perforations. I have read somewhere that they have improved this and if so, good for them, and for you if you are buying them.my next quibble is about the way they seem to break down in a sweaty pocket. I keep these in my pocket until they are needed. That's fine for the most part, but in really hot and sweaty weather they seem to break down and start to feel a bit like a condom. I realize that is perhaps a graphic a description but it is exactly what is called to mind on these occasions. I then never feel entirely secure putting poo in there for fear that it will someone ooze out. That hasn't happened to me yet, mercifully, though I've read some reviews where people have had the poo in hand problem with these bags.On the positive side, they are very portable. Its easy to keep a roll in the car just to have poop bags at the ready whenever they might be needed. I should say that I have never tried flushing them. The flushability does make them a very tempting bag to consider but I don't trust my toilets to handle them very well.BOTTOM LINE: I think these are worth trying so you can see if they are right for you. The flushability alone will make them worth it for many people and they are apparently okay for smaller dogs with smaller poo piles. For 30+ pound dogs I think there are better biodegradable solutions out there but not necessarily any that can be flushed.

I was skeptical when I got these bags. We just purchased a house and got two dogs but I am dedicated to sustainable living with minimal waste production and was appalled at sheer mass of poop trash created by the dogs in an average week (and this is on high quality minimal filler food!!) so I did research.Out of all the options including a specialized composter, worm barrel, etc., these flush able bags seemed like the best thing to try. I read almost all the reviews and was cautious because we just bought this older house and don't want to have to redo the plumbing just yet, but the bags totally surprised me.They are thicker than almost all the poop bags I've seen before this, have no smell, and melt in water. Admittedly they're really hard to open at first (I first purchased the flat packs of these) but I've gotten really good after doing 20 times or so and can do it in an instant now. The first few times are the tough ones, but once you learn how it's wrapped up, it becomes easy.There's one REALLY important thing to remember: DO NOT TIE THE BAGS. Follow the instructions. Flush first, and drop the poo bag in when the water is spinning. It won't go down if you have air trapped in it. Also snow traps a lot of air in it, so avoid picking up a ton and then trying to flush.If the bag ever gets caught going down, the bag itself floats and the edges can usually be grabbed without any grossness and you can wiggle it a bit to get everything arranged better. This happens when everything is in a big dense ball.I don't know if these bags will work for someone with a huge dog. Our neighbor has a Great Dane who poos logs that probably wouldn't make it down our toilet.If you take your dog on a walk and it poos and you don't relish carrying an open bag all the way back home, take a binder clip, attach a carabiner to one handle, and use that to carry your bag.Simply put:GREAT BAGSMUCH BIGAIR IS THE ENEMYDO NOT TIE___________UPDATE: two years and 500 dollars later the plumber just pulled out a giant ball of stringy latex/like material. Yeah, these get stretchy, but they don't completely break down perfectly, so eventually you will have a problem. They only get stretchy and semi-porous in water, but that's not enough to keep them from eventually catching on things in your pipes and causing a gigantic awful nightmare-clog.Ugh. I don't want to talk about it. My basement smells like a nightmare now.
