Avoid Dog Poop
IT’S ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS POOPS
Leave the Poop-Scooping
to the Pros
Dog waste is an environmental pollutant. In 1991, it was labeled a non-point source pollutant by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), placing it in the same category as herbicides and insecticides; oil, grease and toxic chemicals; and acid drainage from abandoned mines.
Beyond your grass, it has been estimated that a single gram of dog waste can contain 23 million fecal coliform bacteria, which are known to cause cramps, diarrhea, intestinal illness, and serious kidney disorders in humans. EPA even estimates that two or three days’ worth of droppings from a population of about 100 dogs would contribute enough bacteria to temporarily close a bay, and all watershed areas within 20 miles of it, to swimming and shell fishing.
Dog feces are one of the most common
carriers of the following diseases:
- 1
Hookworms
- 2
Whipworms
- 3
Cryptosporidiosis
- 4
Roundworms
- 5
Tapeworms
- 6
Salmonellosis
A Toxic Poop Cycle
If you aren’t worried about the state of your local waterways, you may be a bit more concerned about the impact of dog waste a little closer to home. The thing about persistently disposing of stools improperly (or not at all) is that it kicks off a harmful cycle that can affect your whole family—including your pet.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pet droppings can contribute to diseases animals pass to humans, called zoonoses. When infected dog poop is deposited on your lawn, the eggs of certain roundworms and other parasites can linger in your soil for years. Anyone who comes into contact with that soil—be it through gardening, playing sports, walking barefoot or any other means—runs the risk of coming into contact with those eggs; especially your dog.
What could you do to keep it clean?
-
Don’t use your hands, wear plastic gloves
This may sound like it’s the best solution, but it’s not. If you’re going to use plastic gloves every time you take your dog out it creates more trash. You throw away the gloves + bag + poop.
-
Using a cheap low quality ‘poop stick’
You probably know the Chinese webshop AliExpress or Wish. On that platform you can buy similar products like Happydogleash. But those products are very inconvenient: you still have to clean the stick itself!
-
Avoid breathing in the stinky poop smell
And wear a ‘mouth cap’. It doesn’t really look fashionable or would you like to wear an oxygen mask every time you go for a stroll?
No, neither do we! -
