Doesn’t my dog’s waste make good fertilizer?
No! Dog and cat waste is very hazardous. Dog feces are some of the most common carriers of heartworms, whipworms, hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms, parvovirus, coronavirus, giardiasis, salmonellosis, cryptosporidiosis, and campylobacteriosis. Children (human, canine, and feline) are most susceptible to pet-borne illness because their immune systems are not fully grown.
