Composting Dog Waste

The message
from June Hughes contains these words:
I wouldn't compost my dog's pooh myself but that is
because I suspect it doesn't have much goodness in it as far as compost
is concerned. Her diet consists of a lot of fibre and I don't think
there is much in that, however long it is left.
Perhaps you don't know of the benefits to compost heaps of horse, cow,
and sheep manure.
I don't recall mentioning anything of the sort but what do I know?
Perhaps I mentioned it without noticing.
I shall talk to the vet
next time I see him.
No doubt he'll confirm that herbivores produce great fertiliser from a
diet even higher in fibre than your dog's.
Very possibly. As always, you know best. Worms and all.
