How to dispose of the poo of our dogs

Stepping on it seems to bring good luck, but dog poop can become a big problem if you don't know exactly how to get rid of it.

He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him Far from being, as some might naively think, natural organic fertilizers, the excrements of our friends are not only harmful to health and for the unfortunates who come across it or come into contact with the ground where it was abandoned, but also for the environment. The pooch of the dog left in its place of deposition does not dematerialize, it does not decompose alone and burns the grass below. For you to return to the natural cycle and become something else, something harmless and odorless, weeks, months, years will pass. Not to mention that it can become privileged vehicle for bacteria, viruses and other parasites. It must therefore first of all be collected. And this is normal common sense. But then? How to dispose of it? Here are some solutions

1. Build a do-it-yourself litter box - If you are lucky enough to keep your dog in the garden, you can think of building him a nice Doggy Loo where you can get him used to doing his business or collect those left in other areas of the garden. This is a very economical solution because all you need is a bucket with a hole in the bottom to bury in your backyard. In order to ensure that the waste decomposes properly, however, remember to pour water into it at least once a day with special enzymes, similar to those used for chemical toilets, which favor its disposal.

2. Use biodegradable bags - For those who do not have a garden or particularly love to walk their dog, the easiest way to avoid burdening people and the environment is to use biodegradable dog bags. Unlike normal plastic bags, these bags are specially designed to be easily converted into natural elements such as carbon dioxide, water, biomass and minerals. You can buy them in supermarkets and specialized pet stores. On the internet there are some with a truly refined design complete with handles, witty phrases or with zebra-striped dispensers.

3. Purchase a Doogie Dooley - If you don't want to put the effort into building your own litter box, purchasing a Doogie Dooley is the way to go. It is a sort of "incinerator" that is anchored to the lawn and which, through the use of the particular powder based on enzymes that are not harmful to the environment, allows the decomposition of the needs of small and medium-sized dogs. Prices range from 40 to 70 dollars depending on the model chosen.

4. Build a compost bin - If you want to convert your dog's poo into something useful, setting up a compost bin is a great way to achieve this. You can buy the complete kit with the included container or choose only the specific product that can transform your dog's waste into fertilizer to be used to fertilize the plants in the garden.
