I have been buying these bags for over a year now and never had an issue with them picking up after my 8 pound dog. I was specifically looking for bags with handles because it's convenient to carry on long walks. A couple of times my son used the bags when he wanted to collect rocks and they held up just fine. The slight flower smell helps when picking up the poop and act just like those air fresheners in the bathroom help when my husband has been in there for over 30 minutes. The bags are packaged so you can remove them just like you would take tissue out of a tissue box, so they are not on a roll like produce bags at the grocery store. These bags are better than the ones on a roll because I have problems separating the bags from the perforation and end up ripping them. I like to take a bunch of them out of the box, individually fold them, and put them in my leash pouch (see picture). I highly recommend these poop bags and I will continue to purchase these bags as long as I have dogs.I use these in the corner of my sink to put anything messy or that cannnot go into my garbage disposal. It's great for things like coffee grounds, peach pits, or chicken bones. I know they can go right into the garbage can in my kitchen but this minimizes smell. My husband is on clean up duty after dinner so he uses it. I change the bag each day after I put in my morning coffee grounds.My favorite pet waste bags! They are packed into the box individually (like Kleenex) rather than on a roll you, so there’s no tearing or ripping. Easy to open, even in cold weather. I never have to spit on my fingers to get the bag open. My only critique is that the cardboard box is not as durable as the bags themselves, so it tends to erode if it gets wet on my back porch, and the box sometimes tears if I yank a bag out vigorously. It would be better if the manufacturer used a thicker or coated box (like what Hefty bags come in). But that’s not going to stop me from buying them because these are the only bags I can retrieve with ONE HAND, every time. And I’ve never received one with a hole. The price ($16-ish) is perfectly reasonable for the quantity and QUALITY of Original Pet Bags.they work just fineNice thick bags. Like that they have a handle.These are as good a bag as the more expensive ones. They are larger and with the handle easy to tie. And I have a big dog.These bags are not only thicker than most, they are not full of static cling and come open very easily, especially important when it's below freezing or you have gloves on. I ordered a second box immediately.These are the best. I bought three boxes, which unfortunately, the perfume fills the pantry...so I'd go one at a time, which is more than enough.
