Understanding Pet Waste Bags (ID: 8070)
The Pet Waste Bags category, identified by the numeric ID 8070, resides within the Animals & Pet Supplies > Pet Supplies hierarchy. This classification is specifically designed for products used for the collection and disposal of animal excrement during walks or cleanup tasks.
What belongs in this category
This category is intended for standard rolls, handle-tie bags, and refill packs used for cleaning up after pets. Examples of products from the US market include biodegradable waste bags, extra-capacity heavy-duty liners, and scented poop bags designed to mask odors during transport. These items are strictly consumables used for manual waste collection.
What does not belong here
Products that serve as dispensers or holders for these bags, such as decorative bag clips or leash-mounted canisters, must be classified under Pet Waste Bag Dispensers & Holders. If the item is a larger tool or a stationary unit for waste management, use Pet Waste Disposal Systems & Tools. Do not group general cleaning supplies like carpet cleaners or grooming wipes here, as they belong to Pet Grooming Supplies.
Feed implementation
You can populate the google_product_category attribute by using the numeric value 8070 or the full text path: Animals & Pet Supplies > Pet Supplies > Pet Waste Bags. While this attribute is optional, providing it prevents Google from miscategorizing your items. Remember that product_type remains a separate, free-form field for your internal organization and does not replace the official Google taxonomy requirements.
