…The truth your momma never told you The NOT so fun facts about dog waste…
Dog Waste is NOT Fertilizer! • Dog waste is not fertilizer like cow manure. • Dog's have a high protein based diet (beef, chicken and pork products) that causes the waste to be very acidic. The high acidity waste is bad for your grass and can leave your back yard looking like, well, POO.
Dog waste hosts bacteria that is harmful to humans. • Dogs can be found in 3 out of 5 U.S. households, making for an awful lot of waste. • One gram of dog waste can contain 23 million fecal E. Coli bacteria. Dog waste can spread giarrdia and salmonella as well. YUCK!!!!!
Parasites from dog waste can travel. • Can be passed on to children & other dogs • When dogs roll around in their feces, paw at it, and step in it, the parasites travel to other places. • These diseases can affect humans: Parvo Virus, Trichinosis, Whipworms, Hookworms, Roundworms, Giardia and Coccidia. YIKES!!
One year is a very long time. • One pile of pet waste can take a year or more to fully breakdown. • The rain does not wash it away, but washes the bacteria into our drinking water. • And, NO, the lawn mower does NOT magically make it disappear.
