Are the Doggie Dooley chemicals and enzymes safe for the environment?
This was our big question upon finding the system as the overall concept of on-site waste disposal is clearly beneficial to the environment (no plastic bags in landfills, no carbon fuels to transport the waste, no mixture with other toxic chemicals in landfills, etc.). Think how many millions of dogs pooping everyday of the year a few times (let’s say 50 million times 3 x 365 = lots of bags, lots of poop, lots of wasted fuel and landfill space! So back to the additive — is it safe? Well, from all the research we found, the “Super Digester” is nothing more than basic septic powder similar to Rid-X. So basically, you’re looking at more of a biological additive (enzyme based powder) that facilitates poop-eating bacteria as opposed to a chemical one. Based on this, we approve it as being eco-friendly. Find more information at Doctors Foster and Smith. Looking for a DIY (Do It Yourself) doggie septic tank, try this!
