Highlighted Reviews
"Helps control pet litter odors when cleaning the litter box. I don't have to run it out to the garbage can right away every day. Plus the bags are strong so I can put quite a bit in them before having to toss them out and the drawstring makes them easy to carry."
"The only con I have with the bags, are the pull string handles. I've had 4 bags out of like 30, that have broken when I pull the bag to tie them together. Which is unacceptable."
