Tidy Walks was founded by two brothers, Jonathan and Anthony, who are dog owners themselves. Their goal was to create dependable, hygienic dog poo bags designed for everyday use, without misleading claims or unnecessary compromises.
Tidy Walks is based in Manchester, UK — you may even have seen us while out walking our dogs locally.
The name Tidy Walks reflects our values around responsible dog ownership. By cleaning up after our dogs, we can all help keep parks, pavements, countryside paths, and shared spaces cleaner and more welcoming.
Our products are designed for responsible dog owners who want reliable, hygienic dog poo bags they can trust for daily walks — without confusing labels or unrealistic claims.
Our dog poo bags are made using 65% post-consumer recycled plastic, helping reduce reliance on new virgin plastic while maintaining strength and reliability for everyday use.
No. UK waste systems are not equipped to safely process dog waste in biodegradable or compostable bags. All bagged dog waste must go into general waste, which is why we design our products to work responsibly within that reality.
Yes. Our bags are thick, strong, and leak-resistant, designed to prevent tearing, leaks, and unpleasant odours — even in real UK walking conditions.
Our bags are 15 microns thick, which we consider the ideal balance between durability and responsible material use — strong without unnecessary excess.
Each bag measures 33 x 22cm, making them suitable for small, medium, and large dog breeds, with enough space for clean, hygienic pick-ups.
Yes. Our bags are designed to be one size fits all, suitable for all breeds and walking situations.
Yes. Our bags come on standard-sized rolls and are compatible with most commonly used dog poo bag dispensers.
Yes. Our lavender-scented bags use a subtle, mild fragrance designed to help neutralise odours for people. They are safe for everyday use and do not affect dogs during normal handling.
Picking up after your dog is a legal requirement in the UK and an important part of responsible dog ownership. Dog waste can carry harmful bacteria and parasites, pose health risks to people and pets, and pollute public spaces if left behind.
Used dog poo bags should be placed in a public litter bin, dedicated dog waste bin, or your household black or grey general waste bin. They should never be placed in recycling, garden, or food waste bins.
Yes. All Tidy Walks products are designed specifically for UK waste guidelines, where dog waste must be disposed of in general waste only.
We believe honesty matters. Many “eco” claims don’t reflect how dog waste is actually processed in the UK. Instead, we focus on clear information, quality materials, and responsible design so customers can make informed choices.
Using post-consumer recycled plastic helps reduce reliance on new virgin plastic, lowers demand for new oil, and diverts plastic from landfill — while still providing strong, leak-proof bags suitable for daily use.
Tidy Walks was created by dog owners who understand what matters on real walks. Our bags are designed to be large, thick, reliable, clearly labelled, and suitable for UK waste systems — offering a practical, no-nonsense solution you can trust.
Tidy Walks dog poo bags are designed in the UK and manufactured by trusted production partners in China that meet our quality and performance standards.
