Perhaps not but if you are a home owner or renter who lives near a park that allows dogs, then you may be thinking about it. The proper disposal of dog waste is becoming a 'smelly' topic on the internet thes days. I have seen posts both on Entrecard, from 'Slightly SArcastic' blog,'The Admaster' is another of her blogs on blogging and online business help and even on 'The Junk Drawer', blog where the writer said that she prefers cats as they cover their waste in litter boxes, rather than dogs. Seems to imply that the dogs are at fault here. What do you think?
Some dog owners don't bother to pick it up when their dog does his or her business, even if it is on someone's front lawn! They figure it will disintegrate naturally anyway. Others carry plastic bags that are not biodegradable and pick it up as they think it is the responsible and right thing to do, only to clutter already overwhelmed land fills.
What is the right answer or way to dispose of pet waste? Many dog parks and runs have pooper scooper receptacles that are green and have green lemon-scente biodegradable plastic bags hanging off them. This is pretty good for those who seem to not carry or remember to bring 'paper' bags,which is the best bag to use as is biodegradable and FREE!
Dogs are not the only offenders but cats as well,are responsible for a lot of pet waste hanging around the planet these days. Did you know that the popular and cheapest clay litter for cats and cat boxes, is not biodegradable and shouldn't be flushed? Wiser alternatives are your cedar and wheat blends of litter that are biodegradable and can be thrown into compost piles. Since cats are carnivores as well as dogs, their waste though shouldn't be thrown on a compost pile but the urine can go there. "What do I do with the dog poo then?!" you may be asking yourself. You can make your own septic system out of a garbage pail by cutting out the bottom and digging a hole and then putting the can over it. Throw feces in it from pets and then just add septic fluid like "Rid-ex" to it and voila! It breaks down the waste as Rid-ex has a bacteria in it that eats waste! Pretty neat huh!?
