GOOD MOOD FOOD
We know that a healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body, but should that thinking be limited to humans?
At Pooch & Mutt we've created an enhanced range of natural meals, treats and supplements that does good and tastes good, to give your pet the optimal ingredients needed to boost their mood and behaviour paw in paw with their physical health.
So you have peace of mind that you're doing the right thing for your pet.
PLANET FRIENDLY POO BAGS
Our eco friendly poo bags are made from 75% recycled materials, so you & your dog can enjoy your time together and feel confident knowing that we're doing our best to lessen your pet's impact on the planet.
PLANET FRIENDLY POO BAGS
Our planet friendly poo bags are made up of 75% post consumer recycled plastic: 50% from recycled plastic bottles and 25% from a bio-renewable resin made using waste oyster shell generated by the maricultural industry.
Our Poo Bags ARE NOT biodegradable or compostable, and that's because the best way to ensure that your biodegradable/compostable poo bag actually does what it's supposed to, is to set up a dog waste only composting bin in your garden, which for many people is unrealistic, and most of the time (if you're a good human and responsible dog owner) your poo bags end up in the bin. Biodegradable bags require LOTS of oxygen for breakdown to occur, which is sparse when buried in a mountain of landfill (exactly where your poo bag ends up if you bin it) and in this case, the poo bag remains intact exactly like a plastic bag. Compostable poo bags are made from plant-based ingredients such as vegetable or corn starch, which sounds planet friendly, right? Unless you are planning on starting your own compost heap in the garden, most local authorities cannot accept compostable poo bags with food and garden waste. So what happens to the poop bags? You've guessed it, back in landfill.Our Solution
We know that the best solution is to start a dog poo composting bin in your garden, however not everyone has the time/resource/space to do this.
8 million tonnes of plastic ends up in our ocean every year
Only 9% of all plastic waste ever produced has been recycled
We must take action and manage our waste more effectively, and by reusing what we already struggle to get rid of by adding post consumer recycled waste to our poo bags, we can play a part in helping reduce plastic pollution. We're driving towards a more circular economy and are transparent in our efforts to create a more planet-friendly product. A poo bag made from 100% recycled material is our goal, but until we can do this and provide a bag that you're not going to put your fingers through, we believe that this is the best solution.
“BAG IT BIN IT” and dispose of your waste properly to help take care of our planet.

FAQs
Are your bags biodegradable?
Our Poo Bags ARE NOT biodegradable or compostable, and that's because the best way to ensure that your biodegradable/compostable poo bag actually does what it's supposed to, is to set up a dog waste only composting bin in your garden, which for many people is unrealistic, and most of the time (if you're a good human and responsible dog owner) your poo bags end up in the bin. Biodegradable bags require LOTS of oxygen for breakdown to occur, which is sparse when buried in a mountain of landfill (exactly where your poo bag ends up if you bin it) and in this case, the poo bag remains intact exactly like a plastic bag. Compostable poo bags are made from plant-based ingredients such as vegetable or corn starch, which sounds planet friendly, right? Unless you are planning on starting your own compost heap in the garden, most local authorities cannot accept compostable poo bags with food and garden waste. So what happens to the poop bags? You've guessed it, back in landfill. We have decided to re-use some of the plastic waste that already exists.
Why have you part used plastic in your bags?
8 million tonnes of plastic ends up in our ocean every year
Only 9% of all plastic waste ever produced has been recycled
We must take action and manage our waste more effectively, and by reusing what we already struggle to get rid of by adding post consumer recycled waste to our poo bags, we can play a part in helping reduce plastic pollution. We're driving towards a more circular economy and are transparent in our efforts to create a more planet-friendly product. A poo bag made from 100% recycled material is our goal, but until we can do this and provide a bag that you're not going to put your fingers through, we believe that this is the best solution.
Which bin can these bags go into?
Most local authorities do not accept any poo bags in the food and garden waste even when they're biodegradable bags so all bags should go into your household waste bin.
Why oyster shells?
Processing of oysters for food leaves millions of tons of waste oyster shell annually which is either returned to the sea or ends up in landfill. The waste oyster shells in our poo bags create a bio-renewable resin made from the natural compounds found in powdered oyster shell. In short they're a biproduct from the maricultural industry that is both natural and strong.
