A regular question we get at the Odor Dude headquarters is what dissolves dog poop in the yard and which product works the best? Here is what we have found from our many years of testing and feedback from our clients who have tried dissolving dog poo.

This in turn makes the waste break down very rapidly. See below for a DIY method of doing this and where to get these easy access chemicals from.

Option Four: Will lime dissolve dog poop? Using Lime to Get Rid of Dog Urine Smell
Dog poop in grass is very annoying and unhygienic for kids to play on. If you plan on using lime as a DIY dog poop dissolver please read the following. It saves sending the dog waste to landfill inside plastic bags. We are not keen on plastic bags!
Gardening Lime is an oxidiser and when applied to dog poop will make it crumble and dissolve. Lime extracts the moisture from the dog waste which in turn makes it breakdown and dissolve.
Lime is a good product to get rid of waste and stops the landfills from getting filled up, however, the downside if someone walks on it with bare feet (or dog paws) the lime will burn the skin, so much care is needed. Lime is calcium carbonate and when mixed with moisture it becomes calcium hydroxide and caustic in nature.
If you are in a controlled environment i.e the dog is watched and on a leash so it can’t come in contact with the Lime. Will lime break down dog poop? Now you have a DIY dissolver that needs care when handling and ensure children and animals are kept away for the first few days.
Step One.
Apply a 1/2 cup of lime to the feces and leave it.
The Lime will destroy the dog poo and it dissolves over a few days at which time the residues dissolve into the soil also. Its very efficient and works great and you can buy it from your garden supply on account. As dogs are prone to dig a hole on lawns it will hurt them so take care.
Please take care with the product as it can cause burns to skin. Wear gloves, eye protection and skin coveralls when applying it.
Also do not buy a “pelleted donolytic limestone” You need the white powder variety. You may need to search online for suppliers in your area to start making your doggie doo dissolver.
FAQ’s
Will vinegar dissolve dog poop?
It’s strange how many folks ask this question and I guess it relates to the fact that vinegar is harmless and very inexpensive. maybe it was on the news?
Vinegar is an acid with a high percentage of water (approx 95%) and contains no oxidizing compounds like bleach or peroxide, so it will make the stool more moisture-laden and will not break it down. Vinegar will make the dog poop last longer due to the increased moisture levels. It’s not great for the compost either and being liquid it won’t help sort out the problem.
What to do about dog poop in the yard
The simplest way and the cheapest way is to cover the area in lime and leave for two days (without rain). Keep animals and humans away from the area while the lime is decontaminating the dog feces.
After two days it will be ok to hose the area and wash the remaining product into the soil.

Does rain dissolve dog poop?
Unfortunately, rain does not dissolve dog poo waste. Rain can actually help the bacteria flourish which in turn will make the poop take longer to break down as the moisture will keep the components alive longer. To make dog waste break down quicker you need to dry it out, not make it wet. Your pet could also stand in it when outside and bring it into the home. UGH! The DIY product starts to work on your pet doo within two hours so use that instead of waiting for a weather event. Your lawn will thank you for it and your dog will still dig holes in the lawn!
A torrential downpour that lasts for hours will reduce the size of the dog waste but it won’t make it liquesce into the ground and that means the poo will stay around longer.
What happened to doggie doo dissolver?
News flash! This was a popular dog waste dissolver however unfortunately it was taken off the market. The recent search revealed the site is down.

The patented enzyme disperses moisture but you can search Google for more information. At least you won’t be wasting your money on something that doesn’t work.
