We don\u2019t have to let the dog in or out. Geordie can let himself out through the doggie door, run down the steps Cliff added to the porch and take care of necessary business in his own yard. But then we have to take care of it.<\/p>\n

They should make a dog septic system. And they do.<\/p>\n

This is a simple diagram of a septic tank. It then drains out to a drain field.<\/p>\n

The drain field, or leaching field can be pretty big.<\/p>\n

Doggie Septic Systems use the same principles, but they don’t have to be big. A house septic system serves everything in the house. The dog septic system is for dog poo and that’s it.<\/p>\n

In-ground Doggie Septic Systems<\/h2>\n

An In-ground Doggie Septic System \u201cworks like a miniature septic tank, utilizing natural bacteria and enzyme cultures to reduce dog waste to a ground absorbing liquid. Simply shovel stools into the system; occasionally add water and the digester.\u201d Doggie Dooley<\/p>\n

They all have the same basic concept; a container with a lid for the dog poo to go into. The “drainfield” is a hole under the the tank.<\/p>\n

Then you add something into the tank that breaks down organic solids into gas and liquid. The Waste Terminator Tablets from Doggie Dooley contain “billions of helpful bacteria per tablet to break down dog waste in the Doggie Dooley.” <\/p>\n

They make septic system additives for house septic systems, too. There are all different kinds. Some are a combination of enzymes or bacteria. Others have calcium or sodium bicarbonate to raise the pH levels if it gets too low for bacteria. Flocculants, surfactants or biosurfactants reduce surface tension to help solids breakdown and to help bacteria digest organic matter.\u00a0 Some have minerals, carbon, grain, meat, protein and other forms of food for the bacteria so it can thrive. Some people say that you can go longer without pumping your septic tank if you add some product or other. Then, other people say the exact opposite.<\/p>\n
