We have a septic tank. Will the dog waste interfere with the bacteria action in the tank?

Absolutely not we We asked a professional they have a dog septic tank is that use the same Enzymes!!

I am not certain, but dogs are mammals like us, so I don't know why the enzymes and bacteria you use would not break down dog doo just as well as human poo. Ask your vet? Ask your local septic dude? You will be putting a little dirt and grass in with each deposit, so mention that to the septic guy as well. If it was me, I would expect it to work without messing up your tank, but I'm no expert, and I don't have a septic tank.

Not that I know of. I would call a local septic installer or someplace like roto rooter for sure. But we love this thing. Painted it like a big flower to blend with the landscape.

So far, we haven't had a problem with any interference. However, I do use an additive that is added every month or two to help the bacteria work. Just make sure that when you add the poop to the drain, you flush it thoroughly with plenty of water.

I would think poop is poop but I'm not a fecal scientist just look like one.

No, it won't! Remember this is the exact thing your septic was designed for. I would be sure that you are putting just waste in there - no stray sticks or grass or such.

No. The pump COULD be running. The bacteria will disperse more slowly without the pump, but it will be effective either way.

I see no reason why it would be an issue for septic tanks. It is only magnets and simply balances the minerals out so they don't deposit on your toilet.

We empty it every time we use it. I would think that if you left the water in it that you may get a build up of sediments in the tank from the water.

Nope, I have a septic and I checked this too... On the bottle it says Septic Safe! I'll post a picture in a second.http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B0047528HM/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_0?ie=UTF8&index;=0

I cannot say if GreenPig has any negative effects on your septic tank. I have only had my septic less than a year, but I will say that so long as you are careful about what goes into your septic as far as other refuse, caustic chemicals, and other possibly dangerous elements go, that will give you more mileage with your septic than GreenPig. GreenPig is merely a mix of bacteria and other ingredients to promote the breakdown of organic waste. Just make sure that water and organic waste is mostly all you put into your septic.

We don't have our own septic tank but have it connected with city so that might affect clogging but not sure. However I didn't flush them that often. I kept a tight small trash can with lid and would put them in there and empty often. And occasionally would flush a poopy one if I was upstairs away from that trash can. I maybe flushed maybe 3-5 a week and never noticed any clogging or septic problems. Hope that helps a little! Heard some people flush these with no problems. I didn't feel comfortable with that but in the end made the decision to put them in the trash because my toilets far away from my changing table :p We don't have our own septic tank but have it connected with city so that might affect clogging but not sure.

It works great. I have 2 dogs and so far it has worked wonderfully. If it seems to not be working well, there is a small foam filter between the tank and regular filter. Just clean it out and it will work fine again. Hope this helps. Happy Thanksgiving.

I have a septic tank and have been using Method cleaner. There has not been a problem.

i have a septic tank also if you have used a lint filter before you see that it collects a lot of lint this will save your sump pump from clogging up and maybe your pipes it may not hurt your tank but i would worry more about your pump

My parents have used it for years & they have a septic tank system. We've been using it with our system also, we are very happy with this product. No pipe, drain field, or tank damage. We've had no down sides to this product

The package says yes, but I don't have a septic tank so I have not tested this claim.

I don't have an official answer from the company but flushing a couple down with the waste should be fine. I would avoid dumping the entire box down the toilet. However the couple that get stuck should flush just fine according to reviews I read on a pet store web site. I avoid it all together because and just bag it we are on a new septic system and I have a picky husband:)

You very much need to properly dispose of your dogs waste to prevent the spread of parasites and disease, not to mention the fact that pet waste contaminates our water. Here is a website with more detailed info... http://www.pooyah.com/facts-about-dog-waste/

I have had excellent results with Green Pig Solution, and I deposit one packet in one of my four toilets every three months. The solution keeps your septic in good condition----not your toilet. Hope I've been of some help.

We have a trash can with a lid that locks and we take it to the street for trash pick up once a week however. We are considering the doggie Dooley. Basically a septic tank for dog poop. So no added plastic and dog poop to our landfills.
