We Keep The Feces Off Your Feetsies!
Have you ever been on the receiving end of a phone call where your significant other is screaming obscenities because they just stepped in a steamy pile of dog poop barefoot? Have you ever been dressed to the nines ready to go to an event or on a date and smelled something while driving down the road, only to realize you’ve got poop on the bottom of your shoe? Have you ever been sitting on the couch watching the game, your toddler comes to sit beside you, and the smell of poop smacks you in the nose with the harsh reality that the smell isn’t coming from their diaper, but they’ve rolled in doggy doo before coming inside?
I could go on and on with these scenarios and if you have ever owned or been around pets, particularly dogs, I’m sure you have your own traumatizing story. Whether you’re 2 or 102, if you ever step on a brown land mine it gets etched into your brain. Stepping in gum is bad, but a hot smelly pile will put a damper on your day for sure!
To sum it up… Crap Happens!

FACTS
It’s said that a gram of dog waste can actually contain up to 23 million fecal bacteria, and can even carry diseases including whipworms, hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms, parvo, corona, giardiasis, salmonellosis, cryptosporidiosis, and campylobacteriosis. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), humans and other pets can contract diseases from the droppings if not handled properly. All it takes is contact with the soil to catch a disease such as this.
This can cause issues if you’re trying to mow your lawn. By leaving the dog’s waste in the backyard while you mow, you are then spreading what has been determined as “toxic” chemicals by the EPA and CDC all over your lawn. It will certainly diminish the color and look of the luscious green grass you have and will create a higher likelihood of catching zoonoses. Zoonoses comes from the eggs of roundworms and other parasites, which can actually live in your soil for years and years. Sounds pretty dangerous if your kid wants to play an innocent game of catch in the backyard.
Needless to say, remove the poop! The best thing you can do for your soil (and those living on the property) is to remove the feces right away after the dog does the nasty.
FAQ
- Pet waste is very toxic! Dog poop is loaded with microorganisms that can get people and other pet’s sick. A single gram contains some 23 million E coli and other fecal coliform bacteria, plus it hosts salmonella, giardia, and hookworm. To make matters worse, all these doggy droppings may be contributing to the worrying trend of antibiotic-resistant infection in humans.
- In total, dogs defecate about 30,000 tons of waste each day — that’s 10 million tons each year! In contrast, cats produce 1.2 million tons every year.
- Dog poop kills grass if you let it sit out for too long. It also spreads bacteria and parasites and has the potential to pollute drinking water.
