Difference in Doggie Dooley Systems

You can dispose of your dog's waste in one of four Doggie Dooley septic systems. Doggie Dooley buckets are small-scale septic systems that you bury into the ground. You do not clutter landfills with plastic-wrapped dog waste when using a Doggie Dooley. Leave the lid exposed at the surface of the ground for easy opening and closing. Place your dog's fecal waste into the bucket. Every few days, sprinkle digestive enzyme powder into the bucket, add water and let the enzyme go to work. The enzyme breaks down the solid matter and the liquified matter spills out through drain holes. The soil and bedrock acts as a natural filter, removing bacteria contaminants before reaching the ground water.

  1. Model 2000

    • Doggie Dooley Model 2000 is a small unit meant for one large dog. It will also work with two smaller breeds. The system has a foot-powered plastic lid and a round, plastic bucket. For the system to work properly, you must dig a 14-inch wide by 48-inch deep hole. Leave an open area under the bucket for the waste liquid to collect and slowly drain through the soil. The suggested retail price for the 2000 is $49.99. An 8-ounce bag of the digestive enzyme comes with every Doggie Dooley. This starter supply should last six months. When you use that supply up, bags cost $13.99 for 12.7 ounces.

    Model 3000

    • The Model 3000 Doggie Dooley is larger than the 2000. This system processes waste from two large dogs or four small breeds. It comes with a round, steel bucket and foot-powered plastic lid. The hole dimensions for this system are the same as for the 2000. Make sure there is room for liquid to escape the small holes and leach into the soil. The steel bucket does stand up to freezing climates better, but it may rust over time. Model 3000's suggested retail price is $49.99.

    Model 3500

    • Model 3500 from Doggie Dooley is optimal for those who do not want to dig a 4-foot hole. This system requires a hole that is 20 inches wide and 24 inches deep. The bucket is wider at the bottom, so you may have to cover the gap at the top with soil when you're done. It has the same foot-powered plastic lid and a plastic bucket. It processes waste from one large dog or two small ones. The suggested retail price is $49.99.

    Model 3800

    • Doggie Dooley Model 3800 is similar to the 3500. Its maximum capacity suits two large dogs or up to four small ones. Dig a hole that is 19 inches wide and 24 inches deep. The square bucket and foot-powered lid are both made from heavy-duty plastic that stands up to freezing temperatures. Liquid must have room to leach into the soil from the sides and bottom of this system. The suggested retail price for the Doggie Dooley 3800 is $59.99.
