IS IT MATTERS, AND WHY?
As a pet owner and someone who enjoys spending time outdoors, we care about the health and cleanliness of the places we walk, play, and relax, above all we never want our furry children to get sick. As pet owners the security of knowing our furries are not going to stumble upon poop and sniff and lick it equals peace of mind. Dog waste can carry harmful pathogens, including bacteria (like E. coli), parasites (such as roundworms), and viruses (like parvovirus). when its on the ground can attract other dogs or pests that might ingest it. Certain diseases can spread through contact with feces, or even when left on the ground, it can contaminate water sources, soil, and public spaces, posing a risk to both humans and other animals, LIKE the attraction of pests or "plagas," such as flies, rodents, ants, and other insects, which can spread harmful diseases and parasites. Dog feces can serve as a breeding ground for flies and other insects, creating a cycle of contamination where these pests carry harmful bacteria, and parasites. Rodents may also be drawn to the feces, further spreading pathogens to both pets and humans so Picking up poop helps to prevent the spread of disease and maintains cleanliness. When we think about the future of our children we think that the actions to leave them a healthy environment are in our hands! When we realize that dog poop is not biodegradable in a short period and It contains high levels of nitrogen and can harm plants and ecosystems it scares us. It scares us When left outdoors, it can wash into storm drains and end up in rivers, lakes, or oceans, contributing to pollution and water quality issues.
As citizens we realized the problem finding dog poop on public streets, parks, and private properties is inconsiderate to others. It really creates an unpleasant environment for people walking or enjoying outdoor spaces, which affects the health and enjoyment of the community!
And one of the most important reasons that is becoming more common every day: Many municipalities and parks have laws or ordinances requiring dog owners to clean up after their pets. Failing to scoop poop can result in fines or penalties, because it is a Legal Responsibility. We feel like we are taking a positive step and regularly picking up after your dog also helps instill a sense of responsibility in other pet owners. It sets a positive example for others, especially in communities or areas where other people walk their pets. .
That's why for us scooping the poop is more than just a chore—it's an expression of how much we love and care for our pets, our communities, and the environment. It's a simple but important way to show responsibility, respect, and care for everything that matters.
