01
Why the pipe objects
Toilets and septic guidance are written for human waste and toilet paper; pet waste and bags add different solids and pathogens.
02
Do this instead
Bag dog waste and follow local trash or pet-waste rules. Never flush the bag.
03
Already did it?
Do not send more solids after it. If the fixture slows, rises or gurgles, stop using it and contact a plumber.
