Benefits for Communities and Residents
For Residents
Most dog owners are responsible and clean up their dog’s waste. Unfortuantely, some waste is not disposed of in a sanitary fashion. Our progran does not penalize responsible dog owners, but instead offers them protection from bacteria and parasites.
Less pollution
Dog waste contains 23,000,000 bacteria isolates per gram, compare that to a common mouse at 330,000 or a rabbit at 20. Less uncoped dog waste means a significantly reduced risk for contracting waste-borne illness.
Safer play areas for our children
Children are at particular risk of infection in areas where dog waste is allowed to contaminate the soil. Children play on the ground with their hands and frequently put their hands in their mouths. They also drop toys or pacifiers on the ground that are then put in their mouths. Toxocara canis. a roundworm foun in dog waste, is especially dangerous to children and in its most severe form can cause blindness.
Increase sense of community
An unfortunate side effect of pets is they sometimes cause tensions between neighbors. Unscooped dog waste is #6 on America’s Top Gripes. Imagine a community where neighbors don’t get upset with each other over dog waste!
