We really liked the dog waste bags from all Pets United in our test. They are available in the universal size 22 x 30 cm and contain 15 bags per roll. The set offersdifferent options with 8, 20 or 50 rolls.
The bags are leak-proof, tear-resistant and keep hands clean. Thanks to the laser-cut perforation, they are easy to tear off the roll. The size of the bags (approx. 23 x 32 cm) is sufficient for small and medium-sized dogs. The set also includes a matching, beautifully designed dog waste bag dispenser that can be attached to the lead so that the bags are always to hand. The dispenser is equipped with a leash clip so that it doesn’t get lost on a walk. The dog waste bags from all Pets United are environmentally friendly and biodegradable. They have been developed to conserve resources and, at 16 microns, are around 25% thicker than other brands.
The company offers a 30-day trial period with a money-back guarantee to test the premium quality of the dog waste bags at home. If there are any problems, the dog waste bag dispensers can be returned free of charge and the purchase price refunded.
