The Dangers of an Unclear Yard

We all hate when there are doggy bombs in our grass, but did you know that there are
other dangers that we incur when we leave our pets waste in its place? Diseases can transmit
to the dogs, to the owners, or unbalance the health of your lawn.

After doing their business, some dogs make the unwise decision to play with or ingest
their excrement. While some people say “let dogs be dogs,” I believe the mature and
responsible thing to do is keep my dog out of that! Therefore, hiring a professional pet waste
removal service is the best way to go! When we keep our yard green and clean, our dogs are
happier, and safer. They are happier because they can fully enjoy the wonderful yard that we
provide for them, and they are safer because pet waste can transmit disease to your beloved
furry friend.

Because our dogs don’t know how to clean up after themselves, they sometimes revisit
their droppings and track this material back into your house: yuck! Due to this, disease may
transmit from your dog to you and your family. In this day and age, we would never want to
subject our family to the possibility of illness. Sometimes, we just choose to wipe the paws of
our dogs, but now we know that is not as effective as cleaning the lawn itself. This is why it is
critical to get that pet waste displaced!

Furthermore, we all despise dead spots of grass in an otherwise pristine green lawn.
Especially with a larger dog, dog-poop pile-ups can cause sunlight blockage and oversaturation
of nutrients, which lead to a sad and nasty spot of dead grass. While this is a cosmetic
detriment, it is still an important reason to hire a professional pet waste removal service!
