WHAT ARE THE REAL REASONS THAT WE HUMANS HAVE TO PICK UP AND DISPOSE OF OUR DOG’S POOP?

There are several important reasons why it is necessary to pick up and dispose of your dog's poop:

  1. Public Health: Dog poop can carry harmful bacteria and parasites that can be transmitted to other dogs, wildlife, and even humans. If left on the ground, it can contaminate soil and water sources, leading to health risks for people and animals. * Fact:years ago our dogs ‘sniffed’ around as dogs do to try to find a place to go the bathroom and unbeknownst to us until they both became very ill, we learned thru testing and diagnosis by our veterinarian at the time that they had inhaled a very Uncommon type of parasitical worm called Whipworms because someone did not pick up after their dog who had pooped in the park before we got there. SO yes, its very important to pick up after our pets.

  2. Environmental Impact: Dog waste left on the ground can harm the environment. When it rains, it can wash into storm drains and eventually into rivers, lakes, and oceans, polluting the water and harming aquatic life. In addition, the bacteria and nutrients in dog waste can contribute to algae blooms and other water quality issues. Another ill effect this has on the environment is that not picking up your dog or cat’s poop attracts other native animal species like opossums, raccoons, and coyotes. What they smell is the undigested portion of the food from the pet’s waste and this will keep attracting them to your property or overall neighborhood.

  3. Community Etiquette: Picking up after your dog is a common courtesy and a sign of respect for your community. It helps to keep public spaces clean and enjoyable for everyone to use.

  4. Legal Obligation: In many places, it is a legal requirement to pick up after your dog. Failure to do so can result in fines or other penalties.

Overall, picking up and disposing of your dog's poop is an important responsibility of dog ownership that helps to protect public health, the environment, and your community.
