[vegie chicken]

we have working dogs and i bulk feed them at every week end so their is enogh food for them. a flood cam and was only high enough to fill the containers with water and making the food a slush. can i put this on my compost? would it be bad?

In my opinion it would be OK to put it into your compost. Processed dog food is mostly grain with a tiny bit of animal fat added. The small amount of oils would be eaten and "converted" quickly in your compost pile. I would not hesitate to do it.

Don't "see" why not. The only drawback.....it may attract critters to pile.

I've done it before with cat food and would do it with dog food. I believe dog food is a little more salty than cat food, but I don't think there is enough salt in there to hurt. It is probably a pretty small volume of your overall compost materials.
