OUR PROMISE-- If we can't beat the price you're paying now, for a comparable bag, we'll ship you a year's supply of our bags for free! Ask our competitors to match that promise.
Q: You have amazing reviews. Are they real?
A: Our certified FIVE STAR feedback rating means that actual customers have given us their highest rating. * * * * * We post reviews, exactly as customers write them.
Q: How many bag dispenser/bag types are there?
A: The two most common types of commercial dispensers are – the Roll Bag dispenser and the Header Bag dispenser. If your bags are on a continuous roll, which requires the user to pull out and tear off at a perforation, then you use the ROLL BAG style. If the bags are FLAT PACKED and hang from rods or hooks inside the dispenser, then you need our Single Dispense™ Bag or The MittN Bag™ (header/card/mitt style). We also offer Tie-Handle Roll Bags, which fit all HD Supply®/Poopy Pouch® tie-handle dispensers and bags that match Doggie Walk Bags' Tissue-Style Bag, scented bag and an EZ-TIE Header Bag that matches www.dogpoopbags.com's EZ Tabbed Header Bag.
If we don't have a bag that matches what you're using now, we will send you FREE DISPENSERS so you can switch to any of our bags and start saving!
Q: How many bags do your dispensers hold?
A: Our Roll Bag Dispenser allows 3 rolls (600 bags) at a time to dispense and stores 2 back up rolls inside for a total of 1000 bags. No other roll bag dispenser holds or dispenses more! The Single Dispense™ and The MittN Bag™ dispenser holds and dispenses 800 bags at a time. No other header dispenser holds more. Our Tie-Handle bag dispenser holds and dispenses 600 bags and Tissue-Style and EZ-TIE dispensers hold 420-600 bags.
Q: How many bags do I need to start?
A: In a Dog Park, usage is 500-2000 bags per month, per dispenser. In a Condo/Apartment or HOA setting, plan for 300-800 bags per month. Usage can vary widely, however. The Bow Wow Waste® warehouse is fully stocked and we ship every order the same day, so you never have to overstock your inventory.
Q: Are your Stations made from Aluminum?
A: Yes. Our Stations are built from commercial grade, rustproof, heavy gauge aluminum. Our square, telescoping, steel posts are the same, heavy-duty, galvanized posts used by municipalities. Smart managers specify steel posts, because the breakable aluminum posts, or weak U-channel posts, that some competitors sell, are just not strong enough for commercial use. Some competitors sell plastic stations with plastic posts that crack and fade, or steel cans and steel dispensers that will rust. Bow Wow Waste offers a rustproof, commercial, aluminum, UV-coated station, with a super-strong, galvanized, steel post and a 5-Year Warranty, free shipping. That’s the BOW WOW WASTE advantage. We've field tested every bag and station. We have the expertise to know what works best for professional managers.
Q: Is Installation of a Dog Waste Station easy?
A: Yes. We send complete instructions with each station. Allow 45 minutes for installation. No special skills or special tools required (you'll just need: 2 adjustable pliers, shovel or post hole digger, water and a bag of ready-mix cement). Every Bow Wow Waste® team member is required to pass our Station Installer Certification. So, you can always call us for expert installation advice, or watch our YOUTUBE installation video.
Q: How fast do you ship?
A: All orders received by 7p ET, 4p PT are shipped the SAME DAY. We stock everything in our own warehouse and ship with our own staff, the same day you place the order. No drop shipping from a remote warehouse, and no back orders.
Q: How fast will my order arrive?
A: Northeast/Mid Atlantic 4-5 days; Southeast/Mid-West 3-4 days; Southwest, West, Northwest 1-3 days. We ship from our own warehouse – not a fulfillment warehouse.
Q: Can I get an automatic shipment every month or on the schedule I request?
A: Yes. Just let us know what you need, how often, and we'll do the rest.
Q: Do I have to buy through a distributor?
A: No, we ONLY sell direct to our customers. You SAVE money buying direct, instead of paying a distributor mark-up. We're the best choice dog waste products company, specializing in selling direct to Professional Managers!

Q: What's the story on bio-based bags?
A: If our competitors claim that their bags have bio-based content, or agricultural content, or are made from bio-film, or are biodegradable, compostable, oxo-biodegradable, or earth-friendly, ask them for proof, in writing. The Federal Trade Commission has outlawed all such unsubstantiated claims.
LEGAL WARNING: The Federal Trade Commission has made it illegal for dog waste bag manufactures to make any unsubstantiated environmental bag claims. If you buy dog waste bags that claim to be bio-based, or oxo-biodegradable, degradable, compostable, made from recycled material, printed with the 'chasing arrow' symbol, or claim to be environmentally friendly, and you distribute those bags to your residents under those pretenses, you may be legally liable for those illegal claims. Read through our competitors' websites. If they make any unsubstantiated, bio-based, bio-film, degradable, oxo-biodegradable or recycled claims, don't buy their bags.
Q: Can you ship anywhere?
A: We ship for FREE to our 48 contiguous states. Email, or call, for reduced shipping rates to Hawaii and Alaska.

A: We specialize in dog waste products and we don't outsource anything. Some competitors outsource their warehousing, shipping, phone answering, suppliers, logistics.
