Yuck!Niki said:Actually Doggie DOO is much more harmful than our POOP. It contains a high level of bacteria and Nitrogen meaning it is not a good manure or compost. It takes up to seven years to decompose even if mowed over.
Doggie Poo also contains many bacteria and from mutt to blue-blooded champion, all dogs harbor so-called coliform bacteria, which live in the gut. The group includes E. coli, a bacterium that can cause disease, and fecal coliform bacteria, which spread through feces. Dogs also carry salmonella and giardia.
Dogs also carry worm eggs, some of these are Zoonotic, can transfer to people, especially children who play on lawns.
In your own yards urnine destroys grass areas, poop destroys grass areas and leaves a nast odor. Pet Butler services treat all of these problems enhancing the look and smell of your lawns. We also hose off decks, feed and water animals, treat for Fleas, Ticks and Mosquitos using a 100% natural product. So there are many benefits to our services
Thanks for the info! From now on, I'll be more fastidious when cleaning up Pepper's poop.Smiling JOe said:So if I pick up the poo in my yard and place it in the garbage, it goes to the landfill and leaches into the ground water eventually, how is the end result different from my dogs pooping in the bushes in my yard when I, and my neighbors are on the County water system?
Just Curious.

Not in Walton Co. Before going into the landfill (located next to the jail), the prisoners (I am not kidding) sort through the garbage supposedly pulling out the clean recycables which go through the recycling process (supposedly). Can you imagine having to open up garbage bags filled with dirty diapers and dog poo?Mermaid said:Doesn't garbage get burnt? Our city has incinerators, but not so in Walton County?![]()
That should be enough punishment to keep people from going to jail.John said:So Martians come to earth and see SJ walking behind his dog, picking up its poop. Who are they gonna think is in charge?
