The first is the nutrient rich fertilizer that dog feces provide. Although it is best not to use it directly in your garden, the waste of a pet can be used as a part of composting with other organic materials. In fact, it has made the fertilizer sold commercially more nutrient-rich. This nutrient-rich compost can also be used in tree plantations, which can help create healthier forests and ecosystems.
Secondly, it helps reduce pest populations. Dog feces contain many of the same parasites and larvae as other animals, like several species of flies, worms, and beetles. These pests can be harmful to the environment, but with the presence of dog feces they are more readily dealt with. This helps keep other insects at bay, thus creating a more balanced natural environment.
Finally, studies have shown that dog poop can reduce the toxicity of soil and water. Specifically, dog feces can help break down organic material which can then be absorbed into the soil and used as an organic fertilizer which reduces the amount of toxic chemicals such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and arsenic in the water and soil.
Dog poop can be an incredibly beneficial part of the environment. From fertilizer and pest control to soil and water decontamination, the positive benefits of dog poop are numerous. So the next time you find yourself faced with the not-so-pleasant task of scooping poop, remember that it isn’t all bad. That mound of pup poop may actually be beneficial to the environment.
