Myth vs. Reality: The Truth About Dog Waste & Compostable Bags
The Dirty Little Secret of Your Dog Walks
As Aussie pet parents, we all want to do the right thing for our community and our environment. We dutifully scoop the poop, bag it up, and toss it in the bin. But what if we told you that what you think you're doing right might be contributing to a bigger problem?
Let’s bust some common myths about dog waste and the bags we use.
Myth #1: Dog poop is natural, so it's a good fertilizer.
Reality: This is a big one! Unlike cow or horse manure, a dog's diet is rich in protein and nutrients that can actually harm plants and lawns. It's also full of bacteria like E. coli and parasites that can be harmful to both humans and wildlife. Leaving it on the ground or putting it in your home compost without proper processing is a big no-no.
Myth #2: Biodegradable bags are just as good as compostable ones.
Reality: The term "biodegradable" is a bit tricky. It simply means something will break down at some point in time, but it doesn't specify how or what it breaks down into. Many "biodegradable" bags still leave behind microplastics. Compostable, on the other hand, means the product will break down into natural elements like water, CO2, and biomass, leaving no toxins behind. This is what you want for our precious Aussie soil.
