Nobody likes stepping in dog poop! Keeping your yard and public spaces clean prevents unpleasant odors and keeps your property and community looking tidy and welcoming. Plus, in many areas, not picking up after your dog can result in fines.

Dog waste contains harmful bacteria and parasites like E. coli, Giardia, and roundworms that can spread to other pets and humans, especially children. Leaving it on the ground increases the risk of contamination in your yard, parks, and walkways.

When left on the ground, dog poop doesn’t just decompose. Rain washes it into storm drains, contaminating local water sources with bacteria and nutrients that contribute to harmful algae blooms and poor water quality.
