For all of you saying "no it will transfer bacteria to your plant....". WTF do you think you are doing when amend your soil or top dress with compost?? You a fooking adding bacteria to your soil. Third world home gardeners use composted animal and human waste to fertilize their gardens. You don't transfer diseases to you plant through fertilizing with contaminated poop. What gets you sick is that poop physically being on the plant when you ingest it. Thoroughly washing your produce should fix that situation. This is typical 1st world paranoia. ALL animal crap can harbor diseases... not just carnivorous or omnivorous animal crap. Proper hot composting will kill most pathogens. Most people don't know how to compost right. There is a risk in handling poop of any kind. The biggest reason why people make up medical excuses to not use dog, cat or human crap as fertilizer is because to just flat grosses most people out to think the food they are eating comes from Fido's, Fluffy's and your own shit.

Few facts on dog shit....

Dog food has a lot of grains, cereals etc. Probably a better diet than what you eat.

Unless your dog has an issue, in which case you should see a vet, there isn't likely to be much in dog shit to die from. When was the last time you heard of someone dying from dogshit? Hell, little kids love playing with the stuff. It gets smeared over shoes, stomped across floors, even put in paper bags and set on fire, yet the papers are not full of death by dogshit. The whole you'll get parasites if you use dogshit is BS. Any parasite living in your dogs gut won't do well when composted and mixed with coco.

Dogshit is very hot.. mondo high in N so some people may claim it doesn't work as fertilizer, but they just didn't compost it long enough. When choosing dog shit, you want something which is fully dry and partially broken down. Grab a handfull and squeeze. It should crumble in your hand. If goo squeezes out between your fingers it is too fresh. Give it a month.

You can't use dog shit straight because it is too hot and lacks certain ingredients. Mix your dry hand crumbled dog shit with some organics like leftover foods, rotten fruit, bananna peels, spaghetti etc. and let it all break down and mulch. When you can no longer tell the difference between a bananna peel and dog shit, it is ready to go.

Mix your dog shit mulch at least 50/50% with coco. Don't go over half full with dogshit because even at this decomposed stage it is very potent.

I have always worked with dog shit from dogs who eat dry dog food. Having smelled dog shit from dogs which eat wet food I would either not use that, or maybe first bake it in the oven at 175 F for about 2.5 hours to properly pasteurize.

Short of Hydro, nothing beats dog shit. Some of my best dog shit buds were the most crystal covered buds I've ever seen. It got me so high I felt like running around through the woods and peeing on trees.

I have considered a mixture of 5% pure dog shit and 95% coco for hydro but I haven't gotten up the guts to try it yet.

So unless you have actually grown with dog shit yourself shut up about this it will kill you or give you rabies crap.
i don't have much to say about dog shit in general, but the fact that you do seriously had me lol'ing for about 15 full minutes. you managed to use the term "dog shit" 17 times in your post. there's at least 6 siggy gems in there. that whole post made my day.

Good rule of thumb is if it eats meat dont use it period. Bacteria, all sorts of pests in there also. Flat out no, go find a horse and remember to use old horse crap, fresh will kill them over night.

I think admitting to have baked dog feces would of gotten me more so...my vet wanted me to get a sample so she could send it to the lab and if i was unable to get it fresh i was advised to refrigerate it....uuhhhhh fuuuhk no

Toxocariasis is an infestation of humans, usually children, with the larvae of Toxocara canis, a small threadlike worm that resides in a dog's intestine.A dog harbouring the small round worm causes large numbers of worm eggs in its faeces, which can then contaminate the soil.
Children who then play with an infested dog or with soil contaminated with its faeces can then inadvertently put their fingers in their mouths and can swallow some of the worm eggs. The swallowed eggs hatch in the intestine of the child to liberate larvae, which then travel towards the liver, lungs, brain and eyes. I remember when i was a lad this happening to some girl at school, she went blind in one eye. All you growers who have a dog shit fetish beware lol.
