Can I compost pet poo?
Cat and dog faeces (and other meat eating animals) carry many harmful pathogens. However you can compost the bedding material from naturally vegetarian pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, and even cows and horses. The urine and droppings act as a GREEN (nitrogen rich) and the bedding material acts as a BROWN (carbon rich). Together they are a great addition to a compost heap and will help speed up the breakdown of your compost. Suitable bedding materials include wood shavings and sawdust, straw and hay, untreated paper and cardboard products.
