Parasites found in dog/cat feces seems to be a hot issue for serious gardeners working with specialized plants. I think that as long as the compost is actually finished, using it as a topdressing at minimum would be fine.

Let it Rot!: The Gardener’s Guide to Composting (Third Edition) (Storey’s Down-to-Earth Guides) If you’re looking for a how-to composting guide from a gardener’s perspective, look no further…whether you’re an experienced compostaholic or just compost curious, you’ll find plenty of gems here. Everything from a nerdy decomposition science lesson made simple (my favorite chapter) to the lists of what you can compost, and over 10 different methods of composting tailored to your varying needs are present here. Whenever I have a weird compost issue, I always consult this book for its substantial troubleshooting section…especially the N-P-K symptoms table (on page 116). That being said, this book definitely has a gardener feel to it and I catch myself skimming at certain points because well, I’m not a gardener! Maybe one day…
