L-O-V-E this ------- as I breed and raise dogs I have many 40+ of the plastic dog food bags. Will make up a few and take them grocery shopping with me - they certainly are MUCH stronger than the flimsy bags the stores pack for you. YES! Thanks for this .............

OMG ... even beet pulp!

I don't think we get quite the assortment of pretty bags here in Canada. I must check with those who are buying them ..... and see if I can snag a few, and try making some!

It is really simple. clean your bag. just wipe it or air it out in the sunshine. use webbing in a length adjustable to hang over your shoulders. you can square out the bottom [just like a regular tote, if you wish].

It is an easy, fun project just a 'novelty'. My bag is over sized, the original bag holds over 40 pounds of food.

You have now given me the visualization ..... SPCA putting dog into bag and presenting it to the new "parents"! :)

I love these bags and have a cat food bag ready to sew up.

My question is: How do you get the cat food smell out of the bag? I'm wanting to use this for a grocery bag, but sure don't want all my groceries smelling like cat food!

Thanks!

Dawn dish soap, hot water, and a splash of vinegar will remove the greasy residue and smells

The only problem is you will have all the dogs and cats in the neighborhood following you home if you don't get the smell out,lol.....Michele
