With rising scrutiny and awareness of unclaimed dog poop in public common areas, one has to ask – “Why is important that I pick up my dog’s poop when everyone else is leaving dog waste behind?”
Ok, fair question. Consider these tips:
- Responsible Pet Ownership – If someone else sees you being responsible and picking up your pet’s waste, they are more likely to pick up their own.
- Spread of Disease – There a few very common, but serious diseases that can be passed along to dogs and cats through infected feces.
- Dog waste is not fertilizer!
- And then there is the subject of flies! Did you know they lay eggs in feces? Then you have a new bunch of flies to deal with.
- And lastly, pet waste won’t be accidentally tracked into your house, onto your shoes or in your vehicle unintentionally, by you or your pet!
