Highlighted Reviews
"This bag is a necessity. I've tried others and they always flop and don’t contain the feed. This is going to last a long time. Our dog is a quick eater, it makes sure he doesn't bolt to quickly from facing and eating from the feeder. This feeds him at a rate he needs to be fed. Thanks."
"It seems like a nice bag and I admit part of the problem was user error. My horse stepped on it while eating and tore the bottom almost all the way off. We had it on a bit loose but it should not have ripped so easily."
Bottom Line
This bag is a practical option for keeping horse feed contained, but be aware of potential durability issues and consider the length.
