​​​​​​Understanding the Risks of Dog Waste

Dog poop can be a breeding ground for harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, parasites, and viruses. These pathogens can cause a range of illnesses, from mild gastrointestinal upset to life-threatening diseases. ​Dog waste can contain diseases and parasites such as parvovirus, distemper, and roundworms. These pathogens can be transmitted to humans and other animals through contact with contaminated soil, water, or feces. Regular cleaning/disinfection of the yard can reduce the risk of transmission. Dog poop can also have a significant impact on the environment. When left to decompose, dog waste can contaminate soil, waterways, and air, causing harm to local ecosystems.
