Quick verdict: tearing bags, Earth Rated. A dispenser in the box, Amazon Basics. Forgetting the roll, the Tuff Mutt holder.
Head to head, by what goes wrong
The bag that gives way: Earth Rated
Extra-thick and leak-proof, with easy-open perforations so there is no fumbling mid-walk. It is the one to trust when the pickup is a big one.
No dispenser, no clip: Amazon Basics
A leash-clip dispenser comes in the box, so a bag is always in reach, and the bags are leak-proof and sold in bulk. They run thinner than Earth Rated, so double up on the big jobs.
A holder that clips to the leash and takes any standard roll, including the Earth Rated one. It has a zipper and weather-resistant fabric for rainy walks.
Tears: Earth Rated. Needs a dispenser: Amazon Basics. Forgets the roll: Tuff Mutt.
