The Top Line: While we commend Doggy Do Good’s clean product, we cannot wholeheartedly recommend given its much higher pricing.

Overall, we loved the design and brand — the product is clearly premium, thick, easy to open bags, and actually compostable! But at almost $122 a year per dog, Doggy Do Good compostable dog poop bags are THE most expensive option out there!

The Breakdown:

• Cost & Products: $9.99 for 60 bags

• How ‘Clean’ Is This? The cleanest option there is for bagging your pup’s poop! Its made to be 100% compostable - vegetable-based (corn starch) and a much better option than the pseudo-'biodegradable’ options we see heavily marketed that aren’t actually compostable and will not fully degrade properly. Certified to be of ASTM D6400.

• Packaging: Comes in a recyclable cardboard box.

• Purchasing & Shipping: We purchased on Amazon, but you can also purchase on the Doggy Do Good website.

• Good to know: A portion of proceeds go to animal rescures and no-kill shelters.

• Coupons: None.

• What’s Your Impact? Doggy Do Good poop bags are made from cornstarch, 100% biodegradeable, and breaks down in just 90 days. We estimate that for each dog, we go through at least 730 dog waste bags a year — that is a lot of extra plastic bags out there!

The Experience

Context: We’ve got a 4 year old pup and have tried every dog poop bag under the sun. We were particularly frustrated to find out that our previous poop bags that were advertised as biodegradable were NOT actually very green!

Note: if you see EPI or Oxo-Biodegradable, it is NOT compostable and are still made of plastic — just plastic with a chemical on it to help it break down, and creates persistent micro-plastics that stay in the environment.

• Easy to open (so key, especially for those in drier and colder climates!)

• Sticker a little harder to remove (we tore a small hole in our bag when trying to remove the sticker)

• Thick material

• No holes that we see

• Smaller bag (standard sized and fine for our smaller pup, but could see those with larger dogs wanting something bigger)

The Cost:

We estimate that for each dog, there might be 2 poops a day — so we go through at least 730 dog waste bags a year!

Money Report: Doggy Do Good poop bags are the most expensive option we have tried so far. However, worth noting that two of the less expensive options above (Eco-clean and Pets N Bags) are NOT actually compostable as they are made from EPI Oxo-degradable plastic.

The Good:

✔ Beautiful, fun design and brand

✔ Premium 100% compostable, corn starch based bags

✔ Easy to open

✔ No tears or holes when we unroll the bag

The Bad:

✗ Pretty pricey!

✗ Sticker a little tough to remove without tearing the bag. Maybe with more practice this won’t be a very big deal.

Our Recommendation: While we commend Doggy Do Good’s clean product, we cannot wholeheartedly recommend given its much higher pricing.

We're on a mission to reduce our personal carbon footprint with small, hopefully easy, changes in our home to fight against climate change. This means we're looking for products that may be all natural, ideally zero waste, reusable or compostable -- while still being affordable!
