Dog manure can carry parasites that herbivore manure doesn't. These days, 
even herbivore manure can carry vermicide residues that could disrupt your 
soil ecology if they aren't thoroughly composted first.
     
     I thoroughly agree. I would love to have rabbit droppings to add to my 
     compost pile. At this time, all I have is dirty fish tank water, which 
     my plants love love love.
     
     I wouldn't ever add dog waste to my pile, because it does contain some 
     meat products undigested. And cat waste is even worse, because they 
     don't digest much of it. To me it's like adding meat to my pile. Nah. 
     Stick with the small rodent stuff.
