Clean & Fun YardsA common misconception surrounding pet waste disposal is that Fido's waste serves as a natural fertilizer and can simply be collected and placed into the garden or flower bed. This is not true. In fact, leaving pet waste on the ground or leaving it to concentrate in one specific area of the yard can seriously harm soil quality. It can also be dangerous for both families and their pets.
The idea that pet waste makes for a plentiful and affordable fertilizer stems from the use of cow or horse waste as a soil enhancer. As a rule of thumb, in order for waste to be used as an effective fertilizer, it must consist mainly of digested plant matter. Cows and horses are herbivores, which makes their waste ideal for use as fertilizer. Dogs, on the other hand, are carnivores, making their byproducts unsuitable for soil enrichment. Dog waste carries disease-causing bacteria that can be transmitted directly to humans and make them sick. Ringworm, roundworm, salmonella and giardia are examples of such bacteria, all of which are found in dog feces and are easily transferable upon contact. Roundworm, for example, is one of the most common parasites found in dog doo and it can remain infectious in contaminated soil and water for years. How prevalent is roundworm? A recent CDC study found that 14 percent of Americans tested positive for them. |
