When people think about having a dog, they often dream of the fun stuff: long walks through the neighborhood, snuggles on the couch, and plenty of play time. Unfortunately, pet ownership also involves less-than-glamorous tasks like picking up after them. Earth Rated might not be able to eliminate the chore, but they do make it more enjoyable with bags that work, elegant design features, and the important addition of essential oils for smell-masking.
