I Found The Best Dog Poop Bags & Dog Poop Bag Holder... Finally!

doggie-walk-bags-on-a-roll-blue-ocean.jpg If you walk your dog on a leash, then you have to pick up dog poop.

Such is why you need to find some dog waste bags and a dog poop bag holder or dispenser that you like.

The bags... I'm not so particular about.

There are the biodegradable dog poop bags -- which we use because I always find the best deal on them. And, truth is, most every poop bag manufacturer is making their bags biodegradable these days. If you look hard enough, you'll also find the super-tough ones that are extra thick and durable

I usually get these blue dog poop bags (they're biodegradable, but they're a little on the thinn side), or these silver gray dog poop bags (they're a really good quality... and they go on sale a lot).

Okay, so pick out the dog waste bags of your choosing, that's the easy part.

Finding a dog poop bag holder that you like... now that's a whole 'nother story!

Here's when you should take samples to the vet... what type of samples to take... and how to gather & transport your samples (e.g. dog pee or poop).

  • Tenor hasn't really eaten moist dog foods much. He usually only gets dry dog food, so this was a special treat!
  • Our dog is doing fine 8 days after TPLO surgery. The bruising is mostly gone. Now his skin is just getting dry and itchy. He's wanting to lick his leg more than ever.
  • Our dog pooping. The long-awaited poop. There was so much in there, he actually went 3 times in a matter of seconds. A very proud moment.
  • Dog peeing a couple days after TPLO surgery. He's always squatted like a girl to pee, rather than lifting his leg, so that's not unusual.
  • Tenor is pretty much back to his old self these days -- 8 days after surgery. Now he's just bored.
  • Tenor is eating fine and getting around okay 8 days after surgery -- but he still won't put much weight on his foot.
  • Our dog is resting on a bed sheet out in the backyard after TPLO surgery.
  • Tenor dog is crouching down into a seated position -- on top of the bad leg! It didn't phase him at all. By the way the tongue action is because he'd just had a drink of water.
  • Ice cubes are good for a dog right after surgery. I don't think our dog ate or drank much while he was in the hospital. He seemed to be running a fever, and he couldn't get enough water and ice cubes.
  • Here, Tenor is lying directly on his bad leg. No worries. The only thing that was difficult for him during the first week of recovery was lying down on bulky things like blankets and dog pillows. It seemed to put extra pressure on parts of his leg.
  • Here you can see how bad the swelling is in the right rear ankle -- and this is while he's lying down! The swelling was on top of the foot, as well as in the ankle.
  • A closeup of our dog's stitches and bruising after TPLO surgery.
