Why is it important to have your yard scooped regularly?

Dog poop can contain harmful bacteria, parasites, and viruses that can make people sick, especially children.

Dog poop is bad for the environment. It can contaminate water sources when washed away by rain.

Dog poop can carry dangerous bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and parasites like roundworms and Giardia, which can be passed on to people if they come into contact with it. It can also carry canine parvovirus which is dangerous to dogs.

Dog poop makes weeds grow and will ruin and kill grass over time if left to sit, leaving your lawn full of dead spots.

Dog poop attracts mice, fleas, and flies to your yard which can end up in your home.

The longer you let dog poop pile up in your yard, the more likely it is for these things to happen, and the more likely it is you, your children and your dog will step in it and bring it into the house.

...and finally, because it's POOP!
