Are you a good neighbor dog owner? Do you help to prevent environmental contamination by picking up and properly disposing of your dog's feces? Here are some good reasons to "Pick-Up After Your Dog:" Removing dog
feces prevents reinfestation of your dog from exposure to infective worm
eggs and larvae, and dog feces can transmit diseases from your dog to
people. Roundworm, hookworm and other parasitic worms may be
transmitted to young children and adults who play or work in their
yard/dirt when dog feces is present. Ocular larva migrans - an eye
disease caused by parasitic worms found in dog droppings can cause
serious eye damage to young children.
Clean it up, please! Dog feces and urine can result in lawn burn or dead patches. When it's your dog on your neighbor's lawn, it causes a great deal of hostility--toward you, and your dog. Eliminate it! After a day of baking in the sun, the odor from dog feces can become offensive. Scoop it! It can ruin a good pair of shoes. Grab it! Parks belong to everyone, not just your dogs. Kids play on the grass, and families enjoy picnicking, dog feces takes the joy out of outdoors activities. Bag it! Dog feces are not part of nature on a hiking trail, its part of your responsibility as a dog owner to pack it out. Don't leave it behind! Send for
copies of our poster. Post it wherever dogs are walked on leash as a reminder that
responsible dog owners always get caught holding the bag! We are a non-profit organization that accepts donations--hint! hint! However, we do offer 1 poster without charge since these are now in very limited supply. The Dogs'
