Bags on Board at Giddy Pets
Bags on Board make dog waste bags — refill rolls, dispensers that clip to a lead, and a few scented and printed variations on the same idea. It's a straightforward range built around one job done well, rather than a wide catalogue, so choosing mostly comes down to scent, print and how you like to carry them.
What's in the range
The core of it is refill rolls, sold plain, patterned or lightly scented — berry and ocean scents are both in our range for anyone who'd rather not think about it too hard on a walk. Alongside the refills are dispensers, including a bone-shaped holder that clips to a lead or collar and holds a roll ready to tear off.
There's also a 'Hand Armor' option, a slightly larger bag aimed at picking up without getting close to your hand, which some owners prefer regardless of dog size.
Choosing between them
If you already have a dispenser, a plain refill or a pantry pack is the cheapest way to keep it stocked. If you're starting from nothing, a bone dispenser with bags included is the simpler first buy, since it solves clipping the bags to something and having enough to hand in one go.
Scent and print don't change how the bags perform — they're a preference, not a functional upgrade — so pick whichever makes the job marginally less unpleasant for you specifically.
Getting the size right
A standard bag copes fine with most dogs, but a larger or heavier dog can outgrow a thin, budget bag quicker than you'd expect, which is where a sturdier option like Hand Armor earns its place. Buying a size up from what you think you need costs very little extra and avoids the one situation nobody wants — a bag that fails mid-use.
If you walk more than one dog, or walk daily rather than occasionally, a pantry pack or bulk refill works out considerably cheaper per bag than buying small rolls repeatedly, and means one fewer thing to remember to restock.

Common questions
- Are Bags on Board bags biodegradable?
- Check the specific listing rather than assuming, since not every bag in a range like this is made to the same standard, and claims here vary product to product. If biodegradability matters to your choice, that's the detail worth reading before you buy rather than after.
- Do the dispensers fit any lead?
- The clip-style dispensers are designed to attach to a standard lead handle or a D-ring on a collar or harness, which covers most leads sold in the UK. If your lead has an unusual handle shape, it's worth checking the dispenser's own dimensions before assuming a snug fit.
- How many bags come in a refill roll?
- Roll sizes vary by product, and the pack size is listed on each product page rather than being one fixed number across the range. A pantry pack is the better buy if you get through bags quickly and don't want to reorder every few weeks.
- Do I need a dispenser, or can I just carry loose bags?
- You don't strictly need one, but a clip-on dispenser means you're never digging through pockets for a loose bag, and it's one less thing to forget on the way out the door. For daily walkers it's a small convenience that pays for itself quickly.
