The Dirty Truth of Poop Bags
Every dog parent has a story. Not the “my dog did the cutest thing” kind, the other kind. The “I just made awkward eye contact with a neighbour while holding a warm poop bag” kind.
Whether it’s a mid-walk disaster, a bag that betrayed you, or a sudden “second round,” we’ve all survived a few poop bag horror stories. Luckily, Earth Rated makes sure the sequel has a much happier ending.
1. Betrayal By Bag
It’s 7:03 a.m. The sun isn’t even up yet. You’re wearing pajama pants under your coat, clutching your coffee, and trying to convince your dog to “hurry up.”
Finally, success. You pull out a bag, do the responsible thing, and… snap. A tear. A leak. A betrayal.
You freeze in disbelief, trying to remember every bad decision that led you to this moment. The coffee suddenly tastes like regret.
Every dog parent has met “the betrayal bag.”
Next time, avoid the heartbreak. Earth Rated poop bags are built like tiny Fort Knox vaults - thick, leak-proof, and battle-tested for the ickiest of emergencies. Because no one deserves to lose a fight to a plastic bag before breakfast.
2. The Wind Warrior
It’s a beautiful, breezy day in Canada, the kind of crisp air that makes you want to move to the mountains and start a dog-friendly café.
Your dog does their business, you confidently tie the bag, and before you can even say “good dog,” a gust of wind turns it into an aerodynamic nightmare.
You make a split-second decision:
A) Chase the rogue bag like a maniac down the sidewalk, or
B) Pretend it never happened and hope no one saw.
You run. The bag floats. Someone films it for TikTok.
Moral of the story? Earth Rated bags don’t fly off the roll mid-grab. They’re tightly wound, easy to separate, and designed for one-handed precision - even in hurricane-level gusts. You may lose your hat, but you’ll never lose your dignity again. Plus, the Earth Rated poop bag dispenser holds the bags tight and secure.
3. The Double Down
Your dog squats. You squat. Everything’s going great.
You tie the knot, stand tall and then it happens. Round two. Immediate. No hesitation.
You stare in disbelief as your dog looks back at you like, “What? I wasn’t done.”
Now you’re standing there with one full bag and zero backup. You look at your sleeves, your pockets, your soul, nothing.
Pro tip: Always bring extra. Earth Rated’s "emergency" single roll mean you’ll never run out mid-walk again. Because every dog has that one “I’m not finished yet” moment, and every dog parent deserves to survive it with grace.
4. The Muddy Paw Mayhem
It’s raining. You told yourself you’d skip the walk, but your dog had other plans. Fast forward ten minutes - you’re both soaked, and the trail is a soup of mud and regret.
Your dog looks at you, eyes full of love… and then jumps. Paw to chest. Mud. Everywhere. You’re part of nature now.
There’s no towel in sight. You consider using your sleeve. And then you remember: salvation lives in your bag.
Earth Rated Dog Wipes — hypoallergenic, plant-based, and strong enough to handle the aftermath of your dog’s “forest spirit” moment. You wipe, you breathe, you pretend it never happened.
“If it weren’t for Earth Rated wipes, I’d still be wearing that paw print.”
5. The Bagless Blunder
It’s a nice day. You’ve got your leash, your phone, your reusable coffee cup, you’re feeling put-together. Until it hits you: no poop bags.
You pat every pocket like you’re searching for lost treasure. Nothing. You start scanning the ground for discarded grocery bags. You make eye contact with another dog parent. They know. You know. It’s the ultimate walk of shame.
Avoid the horror - clip an Earth Rated dispenser to your leash and refill it with their lavender-scented bags. They’re sleek, sturdy, and built for forgetful humans everywhere.
Because if you’re going to get caught, at least let your bags smell amazing.
6. The Winter Glove Fumble
It’s minus 20°C. You’re bundled up, your eyelashes are frozen, and your dog has finally decided to poop.
You go to grab a bag, but your mittens make it feel like you’re defusing a bomb.
You fumble. You drop the roll. You chase it as it bounces off into a snowbank like a tiny runaway burrito.
Meanwhile, your dog’s staring at you like, “You good?”
The fix: Earth Rated’s leash dispenser and tear-resistant rolls save you from mitten mayhem. Because Canadian winters are hard enough - your poop bags shouldn’t be.
