The Importance of Professional Waste Removal
-
Dog waste left in your yard can be a serious health hazard to dogs:
Pathogens: Dog waste carries pathogens like Salmonella & E. coli, which can cause food poisoning in dogs if ingested.
Parasites: Dog waste can harbor parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, and giardia. These parasites can infect dogs through ingestion or skin contact, leading to various health problems.
Toxic Mold and Fungi: Dog waste is rich in nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, which are essential for the growth of mold and fungi. Feces retain moisture, creating a damp environment ideal for fungal growth. As mold and fungi grow, they produce spores that can spread easily through the air.
Pests: Dog waste can attract bugs, rodents, and snakes to your yard which can carry harmful diseases and ruin the health of your lawn.
-
Your dog’s waste gets tracked into your home if it gets left in your yard. This poses several health risks for your family:
E. coli and Salmonella: Dog feces contain bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, which can cause food poisoning in humans.
Parvovirus: This highly contagious virus can survive on surfaces for extended periods. Tracking it indoors can put other dogs and even young children at risk of infection.
Roundworms and Hookworms: These parasites can be transmitted to humans, especially children, through accidental ingestion of contaminated soil or by skin contact.
Allergic Reactions: Dog feces can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals, especially those with sensitivities to animal dander or allergens.
Unpleasant Odor: Tracking feces indoors can lead to unpleasant odors, making your home uncomfortable.

Pet waste management is important for the health & safety of our communities.
EPA Position on Pet Waste: The EPA classifies pet waste as a nonpoint source of pollution. Runoff from rain or sprinklers can wash uncollected waste into storm drains, contaminating streams, lakes, and rivers with harmful bacteria, parasites, and excess nutrients.
Environmental & Health Risks: Just 2–3 days of waste from 100 dogs can pollute enough water to close a bay for recreation. The EPA urges pet owners to always pick up after pets and properly dispose of waste to protect public health, water quality, and the environment.

Dog waste left on your lawn can cause several problems:

Spotty Lawn: The areas around the waste will often be the most affected, leading to an uneven and unsightly lawn.
Fungal Growth: Dog feces creates a moist environment that is ideal for fungal growth.
Disease Spread: These fungi can spread to other parts of your lawn, causing further damage.
Eyesore: Dog feces is simply unsightly and can detract from the overall appearance of your lawn.
Attracts Pests & Rodents: Pet waste attracts insects & rodents that can create nests in your grass & ruin the look of your healthy lawn.
