Dog Doody is Bad For Your Dog's, Your Yard's, and Your Own Health

Dog Waste Kills Grass!
Unlike cow manure, which is makes for good fertilizer, dog waste can be highly acidic due to their high-protein diet. It can even kill grass, leaving patches of brown or yellow lawn.
It Is Host To Harmful Bacteria and Parasites
Dog waste is known to harbor e. coli, roundworm, and many more harmful organisms / viruses. Some of these parasites can survive up to four years in your yard.
The Rain Doesn't Make It Disappear
Although after a rain you may no longer see any doody, it has just spread throughout the surface of your yard, and become easier to track on your shoes or your pets paws
Same Goes For Your Mower
Running over waste with the more only creates a larger safety hazard, spreading the dog poop across your yard
Dogs Create About 0.75lb of Waste Daily, On Average
That's 22.5 lbs a month, or 274 lbs a year! That's a lot of poop! The EPA has even listed pet-waste as a pollutant, as it washes into storm drains after it rains.
