Nero loves these things- both sticks are gone within 2 days,  keeps him busy for hours. Wish they were cheaper, i'd buy more at a time.

I really like the size, the thickness, the handles, the price, and the way they are stored in the box... However I hate the smell. They smell so unnatural and "inorganic" that I have to keep them outside. Is this cloying, pungent fragrance really necessary to add to a plastic poop bag? It smells much worse that the dogs' poop!

Will see the efficiency of these bags in a while. What made me sceptical about them as they've arrived in small carton box and were not isolated at all. I mean they are not sealed etc. Therefore, I assume these bags were already absorbing some moisture. What will You say, VITCHELO?

I am giving it four stars because of the over powering smell once you open the bag.(Salmon)  I was like ugh! but besides that My dogs enjoy these Jerky Treats however they don't last long in about 90 seconds and were begging for more. I do suggest these for fur babies. Just be cautious when opening the bag.

I am sorry but the smell of the bags is obnoxious, it made me sick! I had to throw them away. Next time I am buying unscented!

The bag is very roomy, but... It stinks!! I don't know why but I pulled it out of the box and my whole apartment and bedroom smelled for two days. The bag still holds the stench but it's in the closet for now as I'll be using it for an outdoor bag.
Also, the zippers are tough to open and close.
So, as it gets the job done, it just doesn't seem like a high quality bag. I'd recommend getting something elsewhere.

While these are cute,  after a few minutes out of the package they start to out gas BIG time.  Smells wore that the rubber tire section at Harbor something-or-other hardware store.  Washing them off and soaking them in fabric softener doesn't seem to help.  Right now I'm letting them bake on the patio table in the full summer sun and perhaps that will get them cured.  Over all they really stink!  Too bad, they are cute.

The bag itself is great.  My only problem is that it arrived smelling VERY musty.  It's like it was sitting in an old storage unit for a while.  Had to Lysol it and place sachets in it.

Save yourself from the agony.  Just open the bag and flush them down the toilet.

got this bag, and the smell, gah the smell kills you. it smels like a strong dirty old rubber tire smell mixed with burnt oil or something, horrible, I left it outside in the rain for two days hoping it would air out, but no, so then I put it in the washer for 5 rinses along with adding boosters, still the smell remains, when I first got it the smell rubbed off on your hands. theres no telling what kind of chemicals it is and gets absorbed into your skin by touching it. I just don't know what to do about the smell, after washing it still is a surdy nice bag, so it is a nice bag, but the only thing that sucks is the smell.

We have two dogs, be it fur, dander, or sucking up moisture, these bags do not allow for the sour smell that tends to emit from the paper bags. Maybe better airflow? I don't know. Washing the outer bag helps too. Two twenty some year old Kirbys still going strong.

These could of been fun if they didn't smell toxic. I wish i would of opened the bag before the kids got a hold of them and that way I could return them. Scary stuff.

The bag itself is definitely sturdy. I however do not like the smell of the bags so I wouldn't order again unless they were unscented.

Bag itself was nice and I would have kept it. However the stench was horrible (even after airing out for 2 whole weeks!!) so I had to return.

When they arrive unpack them and leave em out for a few days.  The Formaldehyde smell is noxious.  After that they are awesome.

First, let me say I work full-time at an animal shelter and use between 12 and 20 bags at a time when I walk the small dogs in the morning. I have had no issues with the bags we use. At first I was going to give three stars for the amount of bags and price. The "lavender" smell is some sort of industrial-strength concoction that has my mom and I stuffed up and head-achy (I can spend an hour smelling lavender essential oil, so it's not that). It stinks up an entire room. We have resorted to pulling the bags off the roll for as long as we can stand it to put in the dispensers on the beach where we live (hopefully, the sea breeze will dissipate it somewhat.

I was still using them (collecting them from the outdoor area we put them in), when my dog got diarrhea and I began to notice the aroma of poop through the lavender scent. I wrapped the closed bag within another and definitely smelled poop on the outer bag when I dumped the full one. This occurred three times, so it wasn't a faulty bag.

In conclusion, unless you like industrial strength smells and your dog has perfect, hard bowel movements, go for DogiPot litter bags...I have used hundreds with no smell or seep through.
