The 6 Best Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags

We do our best to research all the possible products that our readers will like. A lot of our readers are dog owners. It might come as a surprise (it sure was to us) but there is a whole world of eco-friendly products made specifically for dogs. We were excited to learn this and decided to look at some common items that our readers could use to make their pet care routine more eco-friendly. If you are going to make a lifestyle choice of doing right by the environment it makes sense for your furry companions to be involved in your mission too.

So we got to thinking. What is the number one waste that dog owners cause? It wasn’t really hard to come up with an answer. If you have seen a person walking their dog around the neighborhood then you have very likely also seen them bend over their dog’s poop and pick it up. It might seem like a small waste but given that there are around 90 million pet dogs in the US, we can only imagine how much damage all those dog poop bags are going to cause.

So we decided to tackle this issue for every one of our readers who wants to involve their canine friends in their sustainable lifestyle. Here are the best biodegradable dog waste bags available on Amazon.

Doggy Do Good Biodegradable Poop Bags

These ones are certified ASTM D6400 certified biodegradable. That means they are degradable in commercial composting facilities. The bags are made to be thick (20 microns) so as to have no leaks and also protect your hands at the same time. They are made from a plant-based material that does not take decades to decompose like regular plastic bags. The eco-friendly intentions extend to other parts of the product too as the core around which the bags are wrapped and the external packaging is also made from recycled materials.

To tell you about the brand itself, it is a small business in Michigan. Check out their Amazon page – they talk about their two lovely pet dogs over there! They offer full refunds if you are not satisfied with the products. A small portion of every purchase goes to helping animal rescues and no-kill shelters. You already know how much we love supporting small businesses and those that donate to good causes. Purchasing this one gives you the chance to do both at the same time!

These biodegradable dog waste bags have the ASTM D6400, European standard EN 13432, and OK Compost Home Certification.

In a regular home compost set up, they can degrade within 90 days. The bags are unscented to prevent any weird smells.

There are two options – one with a dispenser and one without. The dispenser is easy to use and comes with a clip that lets you attach it to a leash. Overall a great package if you want a single solution for your needs. The company also does a unique initiative where it donates 1 USD to nonprofit organizations that are focusing on planting trees around the world when they receive any feedback from a customer. We would keep their customer care line busy all day if we could!
