Weekly, bi-weekly, or just once a month? We break it down for pet owners in Huntington, Syosset, and beyond.
Regularly scooping your dog's poop is essential for maintaining a clean and healthy yard. Depending on your dog's diet and health, daily or every-other-day cleanups are recommended to prevent the accumulation of waste and the spread of harmful bacteria.
Neglecting to pick up dog waste can lead to unpleasant odors, attract pests, and pose health risks to both humans and pets. Consistent cleanup routines contribute to a more enjoyable outdoor space for your family and neighbors.
Consider setting a schedule or hiring a professional service to ensure your yard remains clean and safe year-round.
Why Pet Waste is Dangerous for Your Family
Left unchecked, poop harbors parasites and pathogens — here’s what Long Island pet parents need to know.
Dog waste can contain harmful bacteria and parasites such as E. coli, Salmonella, and roundworms, which pose significant health risks to humans, especially children and those with weakened immune systems.
When left on the ground, pet waste can contaminate soil and water sources, leading to environmental pollution and the spread of diseases. Proper disposal of dog poop is crucial to prevent these hazards.
By promptly cleaning up after your pet, you protect your family's health and contribute to a cleaner, safer community environment.
