There’s nothing more off-putting than encountering dog poop during a walk or finding it on your lawn. Besides simply being a good neighbor, there are many reasons why dog owners must always pick up after their pooches:
Why Scoop That Poop
- It’s the law—many urban and suburban areas require it.
- It can contaminate groundwater.
- It may contain harmful organisms such as Giardia, Salmonella and E. coli that can be transmitted to humans and other animals.
- It may contain roundworms and hookworms (deposited by infected animals) that can live in the soil for long periods and transmit to humans and other animals.
- It can attract rodents.
- It’s the right thing to do!
