Flush Puppies: Product of the Week

“The Official Dog Doodie Bags Of Mother Earth!”

Picture from: flushpuppies.com
Flush Puppies poo bags are 100% hydro-biodegradable and flushable. Yes, really….flushable. Made from Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) – a water soluble, eco-friendly, “green” alternative to plastic – Flush Puppies are specifically made to dispose of doggie poo down the toilet. Unlike plastic bags or other “biodegradable” bags, Flush Puppies actually biodegrade in water.

The bags are 8” x 10” and can accommodate a dog up to 75lb, depending on what you feed your dog!

How bad can it be just to throw poop in the trash?
A few facts and figures on the impacts of dog poo in American landfills:
- There are estimated 44.8 million dogs in the US
- In a city of 100,000 people, or 43 square miles, dogs can generate about 2.5 tonnes of feces a day. That’s almost 2 million pounds a year
- Most of the poo ends up in plastic garbage bags, which can take up to 1,000 years to decompose in a landfill.
