We all love our dogs, but let's face it - there are other things we'd rather be doing than cleaning up after them. There are many reasons for hiring a pooper scooper service:
- Convenience. Your yard is clean and you didn't have to deal with the dog poop, the smell, disposing of the dog waste, or the time it takes to scoop your own dog poop.
- Physical limitations. You or your loved one may not be physically able to clean up after their canine companion. Whether temporary or permanent, we are there to help.
- Parasite prevention. Dog waste harbors dangerous bacteria, including e. coli, salmonella and giardia, and can also carry hookworms, tapeworms, roundworms and other diseases. Leaving dog waste in your yard can lead to the spread of these bacteria and parasites to your pets and your family.
- It's our environmental duty. The EPA lists dog waste as a toxic pollutant in the same category as toxic chemicals and oil. Leaving it in your yard means it eventually ends up in our ponds, lakes, and rivers.
