Answer 1

you can use dog and cat poop but first it must be composted properly. This rids it od any parasites like heartworms, etc and releases the nitrogen so plants can use it. I use regular clay in my cat box w/o clumping or scent and then I toss some of it in my compost. By the time it’s ready, you’ll never know if there was ever cat poop in it.
