Dog poop is not good for grass because it is not a fertilizer, like cow manure. Contrary to popular opinion not all poop is created equal. Dogs have a high protein based diet that creates a very acidic excrement or waste product. Pet waste is hazardous, full of viruses, bacteria and pathogens, worms, parasites, and attracts pests – not to mention how it damages and yellows your grass or results in you or your child accidentally stepping in a pile of poop.

PET WASTE IS FULL OF BACTERIA, PATHOGENS, WORMS & PARASITES.

​

It cannot be overstated that pet waste is full of bacteria, pathogens, worms and parasites. It has been estimated that a single gram of pet waste can contain 23 million fecal coliform bacteria, which are known to cause cramps, diarrhea, intestinal illness, and serious kidney disorders in humans. Pet waste dangers to humans also includes giardiasis, zoonotic diseases, roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and more.

DOG WASTE IS DANGEROUS TO WATERWAYS & THE ENVIRONMENT

 

The EPA estimates that two or three days’ worth of droppings from a population of about 100 dogs would contribute enough bacteria to temporarily close a bay and all watershed areas within 20 miles of it and prevent all swimming, fishing and shellfishing.

 

The dog poop in your yard doesn't just stay in your yard. Water and rain wash over it and carry its polluting and harmful organisms into waterways, streams, lakes and rivers

 

Worms deposited by infected animals can live in soil for long periods and be transmitted to other animals & humans.

​

Can I put pet waste in the trash (garbage)?

 

A: Yes, this is the preferred disposal method. By putting pet waste in the trash, it prevents the waste from becoming a source of pollution in our streams and bays. Landfills are designed to safely handle substances such as dog waste, cat litter, and dirty diapers. 

 

Many people already place their dog waste in the trash because it’s convenient. Some hide it in the trashcan because they think it’s prohibited. Don’t worry!  It’s allowed. If you are already placing it in the trash, keep up the good work! 

​

Isn't pet waste "Biodegradable" or "natural"?

A: Pet waste is biodegradable in that it decomposes under natural conditions, but the harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites in it can continue to live on even though the waste pile seems to have disappeared.

 

When pet waste is washed into streams or bays, the waste decomposes, using up the oxygen in the water and releasing ammonia. Under those conditions and warm water temperatures, fish and other aquatic life can be killed. Pet waste also contains nutrients that encourage weed and algae growth.
