They are ideal for apartment and condo dwellers with dogs.
If you have a home or apartment with town sewer, here is why this is the safest, greenest way to handle dog poop. For starters, Flush Puppies bags are made of PVA film, a water-soluble material that dissolves in less than a minute. You can dispose of them in any standard toilet. Doing so means you prevent them from ever hitting the landfill. So what? Consider this:
Water from the toilet goes through a sewage treatment plant, specifically designed to remove harmful toxins from fecal matter. Whereas, If left on the ground, dog poop can infect surface water and groundwater. Dog poop contains parasites such as hookworms, roundworms, and tapeworms. Since parasite eggs can live in the ground for years, parasites found in dog poop present a risk to children.
Throwing dog poop in the trash is not an ideal solution. Consider the impact of animal fecal matter thrown on the landfill:
There are an estimated 44.8 million dogs in the United States. In a city of 100,000 people or 43 square miles, dogs can generate about two and a half tons of feces per day. That's almost two million pounds a year. The best solution is to discard dog poop so it’s handled in a facility capable of processing it safely—and water from the toilet goes through a sewage treatment plant, specifically designed to remove harmful toxins from fecal matter.

The manufacturer cannot guarantee that what you put in the bags won't clog the toilet. Let us explain.

2. By the way, the materials used in these waste bags have been used in hospitals without problems for twenty years.
