Dog Waste Threatens Public Health

Winter is around the corner and people forget about the Dog poop sometimes in these Winter months. In the Northwest since we get so many days of rain it is really important to get the Dog poop off the ground. The longer dog waste stays on the ground, the greater a contamination becomes. Bacteria, worms and other parasites thrive in waste until it’s washed away into the water supply. Various reports have shown that 40% of dog owners do not pick up their dog’s waste at all and all that waste pollutes our waterways. Please be responsible with your pet to keep the waterways as clean as possible.
