A dog might be man’s best friend but my dogs are more like my kids! I think everyone should experience the unconditional love of a dog but owning one is not for the nervous. It’s work – especially when it comes to the job of cleaning up their waste. When you clean up after your dogs your neighbors will love you for keeping those smelly land mines out of their yards. But there are even bigger benefits. You’ll not only be doing your part to keep bacteria out of your yard and neighborhood, you’re also keeping harmful microorganisms away from our drinking water supply. There are more than 77 million pet dogs in the United States and their waste is found in backyards, neighborhood parks, and the green areas that frequently line small waterways. When you don’t clean up after your dog, heavy rain can carry bacteria from the waste into drains. Dog waste left in parks and other such places can be swept directly into nearby streams. This affects the quality of the water in our creeks and streams but that’s not all. These small channels often empty directly into our local drinking water supply or the water where we boat or fish. Dog waste contains harmful microorganisms like roundworms and e. Coli that can be passed onto humans. This is why dog waste should not be used as fertilizer around your home. And it won’t fertilize the yard if you leave it behind either like other types of manure (肥料). Dogs don’t eat the same kinds of natural material that cattle, horses or even elephants eat. The waste from those animals is actually beneficial for your yard and garden. You should always pick up after your dog and throw the waste in the trash can. Some smaller cities might prefer the waste to be washed down the toilet, but in cities where there are many dogs, it's best to send the waste to the landfill. When you properly dispose of your dog’s waste you’ll be doing your part to keep harmful bacteria out of our yards, our neighborhoods, and our drinking water. Not to mention off the bottom of our shoes.
