Clean The Dog Waste. It's Important

Cleaning dog waste is never pleasant, and most people have other things they need to do in their daily lives. However, it is a very important part of being a responsible dog owner not only for your pet but also your family.

Dog waste contains bacteria, parasites, and viruses that can be harmful to pets and humans. In addition, accumulated dog waste can contaminate ground water, creeks, streams, rivers, and lakes.

Those that think dog waste is a good fertilizer like cow waste are wrong. As cows eat plants, dogs have a much more varied diet. Their waste is rich in nitrogen which is good for weeds, but not your grass. Left alone in your yard the nitrogen will be slowly released causing damage to your yard.

Aside from the health hazards and damage to your yard, dog waste is just unpleasant to leave sitting in the yard. It prevents you, your family, and your dog from enjoying your yard.

By having dog waste removed on a regular basis you can greatly improve the health of your yard, and the quality of life for you, your family, and dog.
