Top Ten Reasons to Pick Up After your Dog
Every responsible dog owner agrees... picking up after your dog
is a MUST. No matter where or when it occurs there is NO excuse
for not scooping the poop. So here are 10 reasons why EVERY
dog owner MUST be responsible for picking up EVERY TIME.
- IT’S THE LAW. Just like littering, it’s
unlawful NOT to pick up after your
dog, and your violation is subject to
fine.
- IT’S COMMON COURTESY. Cleaning
up after your dogs shows respect
for our neighbors and our community.
Only irresponsible dog owners leave
their dog’s poop for others to look at,
step in or clean up.
- DOG POOP IS UNHEALTHY. Abandoned
dog poop can host diseases
and/or parasites which can infect
other dogs who come into contact
with it, or be transmitted to people
who accidentally step in it and track
it home. Particularly at risk, of course,
are children who play on the ground.
Disposing of dog poop immediately
helps all dogs stay healthier and
reduces feces-borne parasites and
illnesses.
- DOG POOP BIODEGRADES
SLOWLY. Some people think it’s okay
to leave dog poop because it will
break down naturally. However, the
process is very slow, and, especially
in places where the dog population
is high, abandoned dog poop can accumulate
faster than it breaks down.
- IT’S NOT FERTILIZER! In fact, poop
impedes landscaping efforts. Leaving
dog poop encourages other dogs
to mark that spot (by urinating over
the previous dog’s scent): poop left
on the grass contributes to the problem
of “nitrogen burn.”
- DOG POOP POLLUTES THE WATER. Dog feces, like any feces, contain
high levels of nutrients, like nitrogen
and phosphorus, which actually pollute
the water. Dog feces and urine contain relatively
large amounts of nitrogen and
phosphorus. These nutrients fee
and stimulate the growth of algae
in water bodies in much the same
way as fertilizers help lawns to grow.
This can cause the water body to
become depleted in oxygen, making
it less healthy for fi sh and large
levels of growth can impede recreational
and aesthetic value of water
as well. Cleaning up after your dog
is environmentally responsible. And
please don’t dispose of dog poop in
storm drains.
- DOG POOP IS UNSIGHTLY. Everybody
knows that. It’s disgusting. Pick
it up. We all deserve to live in a clean
neighborhood where we can be
proud and step lightly.
- DOG POOP TOPS THE LIST OF
COMPLAINTS AGAINST DOGS. Along with dog aggression, nuisance
barking or unsupervised dogs, most
complaints against dogs are about
people not cleaning up after their
dogs. This is true for common areas,
backyards, sidewalks, and your own
lawn.
- DOG POOP MAKES DOG OWNERS
LOOK BAD. For everyone who cares
about their pets, the worst thing
about dog poop is that it is bad for
public relations. Dog Poop is a big
reason for negative public sentiment
against dogs. Every time you don’t
pick up after your dog, you are giving
one more reason for others to dislike
dogs and dog owners.
- YOUR ACTIONS SET AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS. When you pick up
after your dog, you are part of the
solution! And your actions will help
convey the message that it’s the
right thing to do. Many people even
carry extra bags to offer to others
as a subtle and neighborly hint that
cleaning up after our dogs is what
responsible dog owners do.
It’s up to each of us to do our part in keeping The Moors clean and poop-free. Make sure you carry bags with you. In fact, carry extras and offer them to dog owners who aren’t prepared or may not yet be educated about the importance of picking up after their dogs. Spread the word that Poop Destroys Our Good Reputation as Responsible Dog Owners!
