Nothing like a super-cute puppy as a reminder to pick up your dog’s waste and dispose of it in the garbage! Here are 3 reasons why you should…
1.) It’s a health hazard!
Pet waste can contain harmful bacteria and parasites that can make people sick. Mowing over pet waste can also spread bacteria across your lawn.
2.) It will damage your lawn!
Pet waste is high in nitrogen, which can stress your lawn and make it susceptible to disease, wilting, and discoloration.
3.) It’s bad for our waterways!
When pet waste washes into streams, rivers, and lakes carried by stormwater flowing through storm drains, it can decay and impact oxygen levels, which can harm aquatic wildlife. It can also increase weed and algae growth.
Do your pooch and you a favor, toss pet waste in the trash where it can be properly disposed of in landfills.
