Earth Rated's dog waste bags have become something of a staple in the eco-conscious pet owner community, and after testing this 270-count roll, I understand why. These aren't gimmicky bags – they're genuinely thick, with a textured grip that makes handling considerably easier than thin supermarket alternatives, even in wet conditions.
What stands out most is the leak-proof performance. I tested these across various scenarios over several weeks, and they held up to everything from soft stools to, well, everything else dogs produce. The lavender scent is refreshingly understated – it actually masks odour without making your bin smell like a perfume counter, which many scented bags fail at.
At £8.13 for 270 bags (15% off), you're paying roughly 3p per bag. Compare that to Beco's premium offering at around 4.5p per bag, or standard supermarket brands at similar pricing without the durability. The compostable angle is legitimate too – these are plant-based and genuinely break down in industrial composting facilities, not greenwashing.
The main consideration is storage. 270 bags across multiple refill rolls do take up cupboard space, so you'll need to commit to buying in bulk. Some people also find the bags slightly thicker than necessary for small dog breeds, though I'd argue that's preference rather than a genuine flaw.
For value and reliability, this is a confident recommendation. You're not paying a premium for branding, and the quality is consistent. If you walk your dog regularly and want bags that actually work rather than just disappear into landfills, this hits the sweet spot at this price point.
