🐕 Fun Facts About Dog Waste

Quick facts every dog owner should know and why regular cleanups matter.

💩 Fact 1 – Dog Poop Adds Up Fast

The average dog produces 274 pounds of waste every year. That’s over 5 pounds a week per dog! Multiply that by two or three pups, and your yard fills up fast.

💧 Fact 2 – Poop Pollutes Water

When it rains, dog waste can wash into storm drains and contaminate rivers and lakes with harmful bacteria like E. coli and salmonella.

🌱 Fact 3 – Dog Waste Isn’t Fertilizer

Many people think dog poop breaks down like compost, but it’s actually acidic and full of protein. It damages grass and attracts pests instead of helping plants grow.

🦠 Fact 4 – It’s a Health Hazard

A single gram of dog waste can contain up to 23 million bacteria, plus parasites like giardia and roundworm especially dangerous for children and other pets.

⏱️ Fact 5 – You Lose 30 Hours a Year Scooping

The average household with one or two dogs spends 1-2 hours a month picking up poop. That’s 12-24+ hours a year. We help you buy that time back.
