Doggie Dooley

[lvrgsp]

Have any of you used this and if not what if any weaste system do you use? I will be pouring a new kennel soon and want to incorporate some sort of waste disposal for it. It will be a two dog kennel with possibly a third dog.
thanks

My kennel is sloped so water runs off it, I have a ditch dug about 6 in deep along one side, I wash off the stuff into the ditch where it goes to my field I keep steers in. Then I use a "lot spray" for livestock to kill flies and other bugs that like the stuff. You can use this spray around a kennel too, it keeps off flies. fleas and ticks. I also spray my trees and shrubs around the kennels. Keeps them bug free.

The dooley breaks down the waste but then you still have to empty the thing...

I envision the next kennel to have a built in septic system, funnel it to one end where a 55 gal drum is buried with holes in it so water can drain out, then get it pumped from time to time.

The Doggy Dooly works great if you have sandy soil, but if your sub-soil is clay, it won't drain like it should.

Our doggie dooley didn't drain correctly due to the soil either and then there is the temperature requirements also. It's easier to just pick up and put it in a trash bag.

Chip,

I haven't used it, but I a little google-ing around found this:

If you build the sump and lines deal that a lot of people have and dump something like this in it every so often, I bet it would last a long time.

Best regards, Greg J.

The doggie dooley comes with and recomends a bacterial additive but that was not our problem. Ours drained too fast and left the poo just sitting there even after adding water twice a day. Just didn't have the right soil conditions for it. It also suggest not using it below approx 30 degrees which means most of the winter. I would just save my money or build a regular septic if you run a kennel.
