Additional Pet Waste Questions

Why do dogs roll in poop?

Dogs roll in poop due to instincts from their wild ancestors, often to mask their scent or communicate with other dogs. Regular pooper scooper services can reduce this behavior by keeping your yard clean.

Is dog poop good fertilizer?

No, dog poop is unsafe as fertilizer due to harmful bacteria and parasites like E. coli and roundworms. We ensure proper waste removal to keep your yard healthy. This protects your lawn and family from potential health risks.

How many times a day should a dog poop?

Most dogs poop one to three times daily, depending on diet, size, and health. Puppies and older dogs may go more often. Understanding this helps pet parents plan our poop scooper service effectively.

Can you compost dog poop?

Dog poop shouldn’t be composted in standard garden compost due to harmful pathogens. Specialized pet waste composters exist, but our pooper scooper service offers a simpler solution by safely disposing of waste. We handle the dirty work so you don’t have to worry about improper disposal.
