Stinky Business

So I was walking Curly and Cooper this morning, poop bags in hand, and the thought occurred to me - why do they bother making scented poop bags?  It isn't as if the "spring time fresh" smell is going to cover up the odour of last night's beef and broccoli extravaganza.  NOTHING covers up that smell.  So all it really does is wreck the spring time scent for any other purpose such as air fresheners or laundry detergent.  I unfortunately made the mistake of picking up said bags because they were biodegradable only to find out they were scented.  And it wasn't even a nice scent BEFORE use.  The after use smell was horrible.

Scents just don't work so please Mr. and Ms. Poop Bag makers stop making them. I'm sure it will save you time and money by not adding the extra chemicals.  Poop stinks and there is really no pleasant way of dealing with it unless I grow six foot long arms.

I am on the lookout for some good biodegradable baggies.  One company mentioned in this great new book called Ecoholic by Adria Vasil is BioBag Canada.  The bags are compost tested and will breakdown under composting conditions in 40 days, unlike regular plastic bags which some literature says takes 100 years.  That's pretty gross for considering the waste going into the bag is naturally biodegradable.  There is also debate on some biodegradable bags that SAY they are biodegradable, but what they really do is break apart into smaller plastic pieces after being exposed to UV light for a while.  I can't remember the exact details but it wasn't my idea of biodegradable.  So I'm looking for something that has gone through some type of testing to prove the claims.  Hey, if I'm going to pay extra for bags, I want to make sure I'm getting the real deal. I haven't been able to find the BioBags yet so if anyone has an idea, or has a favourite NON-SCENTED, biodegradable bag that they like, please let me know.  My nose thanks you!

I flush my dog's poops down the toilet with a flushable dog poop bag. Most eco-friendly way to get rid of dog poop.There are flushable dog poop bags.
The best answer probably because dog poop can get treated just as your poop is. Throwing dog poop in the trash overcrowds our landfills and pollutes our water system.

You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
