Dooky Facts
A Whole Lot of Dooky!
The American Pet association estimates that this country's seventy-one million pet dogs produce over 4.4 billion pounds of waste per year. That’s enough to cover 900 football fields with 12 inches of dog waste! 1 dog drops approximately 52 piles a month.
Harmful Dooky?
Dog waste can transmit bacteria and viruses including, tapeworm, roundworm, E. Coli, Parvo and other parasites that can linger in the soil for years. As a result, anyone who comes in contact with the soil also comes in contact with the infected eggs.
Dooky Fertilizer?
Contrary to popular opinion, dog and cat Dooky’s do not make for “good fertilizer”.
Unlike cow manure, dogs have a high protein based diet which creates a very acidic excrement or waste product. Cow manure is in fact good for vegetation because it started out that way. A pile of doggy Dooky can take up to a year or more to fully breakdown.
Watch Out for Dooky!
How embarrassing, right? To first warn your friends and family before they step one foot in your lawn. Yes, those piles can be messy and smelly, but ever thought about the liability of a Dooky slip, slide, and crash? Only bad can come from this situation. In addition, accumulation can negatively affect your lawns appearance and health.
Playing in Dooky
Children run the greatest risk of infection because they're prone to play in the dirt at the park or playground and then put their hands in their mouths or rub their eyes with their hands. But even a group of teens or adults playing Frisbee or touch football in an open area could be in danger. Parasitic infections can make humans extremely sick, and for pregnant women - can pose a serious harm to their unborn child.
New Puppy?
Young puppies with weak immune and blood systems should not be exposed to communal pet areas. Until your puppy has received his first full series of shots (given during his first 4 months), he will be extremely vulnerable to dangerous and deadly dieses often carried by other dogs or animals. These diseases are easily transmittable to your puppy simply by exposure to surfaces and even surrounding air. Avoid grassy areas shared by other dogs. Never take your young puppy to pet stores and or pet parks without clearance from your vet first. It’s best to start potty training indoors, using wee pads, then indoor “green” space, next graduate to the lawn. At which point it is very important to deodorize and sanitize the outdoor potty area first.
Moving in or out? Treat your grounds! For the safety of the new pet and family who will be using this space.
Even older dogs are susceptible to these viruses and dangerous diseases.
