Dog Poop Stinks Cleaning it Up Doesn’t Have To

We’ve been dog owners for over 4 years now. We have always tried hard to be responsible dog owners. If Mushu starts barking late at night, we bring her in. We keep her on a leash when we are out for a walk and we clean up her dog poop when she goes on someone else’s lawn. Yes, it is the law, but more importantly it is common courtesy. Long gone are the days of my childhood when dogs could poop wherever they felt like it and no one seemed to care.

Over the years we have bought several kinds of dog waste bags. Some have worked well, some have been rather thin and really let the stench out. These Frisco Scented Dog Waste Bags are large, 9×13 inches! A good size for all sized dogs. They are also thick and they tear off the roll nicely. The light cucumber melon scent is a pleasant change from smelling dog poop the entire walk. These Frisco poop bags come 15 to a roll and the rolls fit in most bag dispensers.

We walk Mushu twice a day and she often poops on both walks. In a typical month we will go through 60 poop bags. I like that we can order these bags from Chewy.com and get 270 bags at a time for only $8.29 + shipping and handling. If you order other products, Chewy offers free shipping on orders over $49. If you use auto ship you can save even more money.

By buying this quantity of dog poop bags, I can go 4 1/2 to 5 months before I need to buy them again! I love buying necessities in bulk and this is one way to do that. Have you ever tried Frisco Scented Dog Waste Bags? What are your thoughts? Please leave me a comment and let me know.

Gift Ideas for Pets

Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will add value to my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”If you have a fur baby then you know just how much that four-legged friend becomes a part of your family. You non-pet owning friends and family may not understand your connection with your pet but it is real. Their is a mutual love and loyalty shared between owner and pet. During the holiday season many of us shower our pets with gifts from Holistapet just as we do our two-legged family members. I’ve already gotten Mushu an adorable Christmas dress and I’ll be picking up a few other gifts along the way.

Mushu’s received Merrick’s Texas Toothpicks to try this month. These treats are bigger than I thought they would be. They are very long and hard. I had a difficult time breaking them into smaller pieces for her. She is drawn to them and she licks them like crazy. So far she hasn’t chewed on them though. I have a feeling that these will be going to Beartrap across the street because of their size. Merrick Texas Toothpicks Natural Dog Treats are real beef tails smoked to a puffy, crunchy texture in the great state of Texas. These dog treats will satisfy the inner carnivore in your dog with the taste of real beef and a chewing sensation that starts off crunchy and turns chewy.

What types of gifts do you buy your pets?
