Rjlight, I have an answer for you from Gaiam customer service:

The Doggie Dooley does not necessarily fertilize the lawn because a typical dog’s diet is not usually comparable to other animals that provide fertilizer. These other animals (horses, cows, etc.) have
mostly vegetarian based diets.

rjlight, that’s a good question. I e-mailed customer service to find out. I’ll let you know what I hear. It might take a day or two.

I don’t have a dog, but it is great that the poop can be reused. Does it fertilize the lawn or just not hurt it?

Hi Kisha. Thanks for visiting. I agree. It is pricey. I was intrigued by it though.

This sounds interesting to me. Don’t know if I would buy it, seems a little pricey but still a good idea.

Sonya,

I have been using Feline Pine for years. I like it except for when the pellets are almost used up. Then the dust gets tracked more. I tried Yesterday’s News and it smelled horrible after a few pees.

You can use a special litter box with Feline Pine so that the dust goes to the bottom. I like my Booda Dome though. Well, he likes his Booda Dome.

Make your own dog composter! Great idea.

If I had a dog, I would totally want to compost the poop (heck, I’m almost tempted to get one for the neighbors who NEVER clean up after their dogs, rrr, but that’s another story).

However, I probably wouldn’t buy the product, just because I’m a DIY girl and you can make yer own dog waste composter for a lot cheaper.

As it is, though, I just have cats, and their poo is tougher to deal with, environmentally speaking. We tried Swheat Scoop litter, which is flushable, but one of the cats ATE the litter instead (unused litter, but still, kitty doesn’t need that much carbs).

It seems a little odd… but maybe just because it’s new. I do think it is a bit spendy and since we live in an apartment it’s not feasible for us. We do scoop our poop and put in biodegradable bags at least.
