Padders   2,833 #73 Posted July 14, 2019 I think dog owners who let their dogs mess, and leave it lying there, should at least carry a can of illuminated paint. Spray it on the mess, and people would see it and avoid it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There's no danger inherent in dog pee (unlike poo which can carry parasites). And dogs naturally mark on prominent objects, like lampposts or flower troughs.

And urine is a good compost activator, but sprayed directly onto plants (eg, those in RiffRaffs flower troughs) can kill them.

Cyclone   10 #77 Posted July 15, 2019 I'm not really sure what your point was, perhaps you can explain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
RiffRaff   10 #78 Posted July 15, 2019 Well, as you appear to be an expert on every subject under the sun, I'm confident you'll be able to figure it out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone   10 #81 Posted July 15, 2019 Probably shouldn't leave them out on the street then I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

So if my dog runs off into the wood to poo, I leave it. There are about 10millon dogs in the uk, and about 1million foxes. If we all let our dogs poo in the woods, there would be a lot of dog poo in the woods.  Maybe just me, but our dog isn't let off the lead until he's 'gone'...  (And even then, he's not free to roam) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Hmmm... ... that sounds like a brilliant idea Mr Padders.  We could get all the little oiks who like defacing other people's property with their aerosol cans on the job, and if we could get one of the forum boffins to suggest some sort of bacteriological acceleration agent that could be added to the paint then we could become the UK's first city to have fully biodegradable doggy poop!  I can see the banners on the Town Hall now...  ...

Cyclone   10 #84 Posted July 15, 2019 Dog poo is of course fully biodegradable unless you've been feeding your dog plastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
