- When dog poop is not picked up from your lawn, decomposition begins. Toxic bacteria seeps into the soil. Poop carries dangerous pathogens and pollute our freshwater supply.
- Dog feces can carry a host of diseases and worms -- including heartworms, whipworms, hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms, parvovirus, giardia, salmonella, and even E. coli. These biological hazards are not only a threat to your pet, but also to your family and other animals. Parasitic eggs can survive for years in your yard before hatching.
- Dog poop is the #3 cause of water pollution! According to the EPA, dog poop is as toxic to the environment as chemicals and oil spills. In 1991, the EPA labeled dog waste as a pollutant.
- 1 gram of dog feces contain, 23 million fecal bacteria, nearly twice that of human waste.
- One pile of dog waste takes over a year to break down.
- More than 10 million gallons of water containing fecal contaminants from human and animal sources, flows into neighborhood storm drains every day, polluting our environment and eventually contaminating our drinking water aquifers too!
