HEALTH

You likely avoid dog poop whenever possible, but you may not realize just how dangerous doody is to humans. One gram of dog waste contains 23 million fecal coliform bacteria, causing cramps, diarrhea, intestinal illness, and serious kidney disorders. Some of the more common diseases and parasites carried by pet waste are:

• Campylobacteriosis - causing gastrointestinal illness in humans
• Cryptosporidium - parasite causing gastrointestinal illness in humans
• Toxocariasis - roundworms transmitted from dogs to humans
• Many others including Giardiasis, Salmonellosis, Heartworms, Whipworms, Hookworms, Roundworms, Tapeworms, Parvo

Children are more susceptible to pet-borne illnesses because they have weaker immune systems than adults do (and are more likely to play in the 'mud').

LIVING LIFE

Life's short...don't spend it scooping poop. We're here to help you enjoy the time with your pets and family instead of spending it working in your yard.

ENVIRONMENT

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that two or three days worth of pet waste from a population of only 100 dogs would contribute enough bacteria to temporarily close a bay, and all watershed areas within 20 miles of it, to swimming and shellfishing. How is this possible?

We'll, 40% of United States households own at least 1 dog. This leads to a much higher population density of large mammals than would occur naturally. This high density population produces a lot of waste that promote increased runoff to surface water resources (creeks, rivers, lakes) and storm drain systems (which eventually dump to surface water resources).

Among other problems this poses, pet waste contains nutrients that promote accelerated weed and algae growth. Excess vegetation in aquatic environments is not only unsightly, it consumes the oxygen that aquatic life need to survive. Additional oxygen is consumed as raw waste is decomposed in the water body. This can lead to what is commonly referred to as 'dead lakes'.

By scooping your poop you're not just protecting your family...your protecting the environment.

AESTHETICS

Believe it or not pet waste does NOT make good fertilizer. In fact, due to its high protien base, dog waste is quite toxic to that green grass you've been so lovingly nurturing. Pet waste can make your lawn look more brown and round than clean and green. You may have seen the tell-tale signs in your own yard, commonly referred to as 'burns' this problem can be very unsightly.
