Go Green with Flush Doggy

By Bill Coughlin

Is it a GREEN idea too flush your Dogs Poop?

Why Should You Flush Poop?

Plastic bags or even biodegradable bags when thrown in an air tight landfill would overcrowd our land and not biodegrade. An EPA report states, “When walking your pet, remember to pick up the waste and dispose of it properly. Flushing pet waste is the best disposal method. Leaving pet waste on the ground increases public health risks by allowing harmful bacteria and nutrients to wash into the storm drain and eventually into local waterbodies.”

America's 71 million dogs produce 29,000 tons of waste each day.

Study by city of San Francisco has shown that dog poop occupies 3.4% of residential landfills.

Storm water carries dog poop and other dog waste directly into waterways. Pet waste is responsible for up to 90% of all bacterial watershed pollution in urban areas of the U.S.

Dog poop has a lot of nitrogen and adding nitrogen to our water depletes the oxygen needed for fish and wildlife.

E. coli, Giardia, Salmonella live inside dog poop and are dangerous to babies, humans and other animals when they enter our water system.

Roundworms and hookworms are also common in dog poop. These parasites are dangerous too when we contact them in soil.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 2 days worth of dog waste from about 100 dogs would contribute enough pollution to close a bay, and all watershed areas within 20 miles of it.

Dog waste is 75% water and can be recycled.

Remaining 25% of dog waste can be used as fertilizer for non-food crops.

What is Flush Doggy?
Flush Doggy is a new eco-friendly invention. It is a dog poop bag that is fully biodegradable and flushable(water soluble), made of polyvinyl alcohol(PVA). It is completely safe and non-toxic for our environment. Each poop bag measures 10.75" X 8.5".

Sounds like a great product, Jim.
It really is disrespectful when owners don't pick up after their dogs.
Thank you for sharing.
Best to you.

Great idea. I've never really laughed about "poop", but something about the seriousness of the article combined with the concept... amusing and informative. :)

Great information! I still laugh every time I see the business truck in traffic for a local company that will come to your house to clean up for you! Their motto; "Got poop, We scoop" Have a great day!

"Study by city of San Francisco has shown that dog poop occupies 3.4% of residential landfills."

Now there's a great job. Figuring out the percentage of dog poop in a landfill. Some third grader right now is thinking, "When I grow up I want to figure out what percentage of the landfill is dog poop."

If they could just figure out how to turn it into electricity. Sounds like a great product.
