Did You Know?• The Environmental Protection Agency classifies dog waste as a highly dangerous pollutant and compares it to oils and toxic chemicals.
• It is highly common for dog p**p to carry harmful pathogens, such as parasites, bacteria, and viruses, or any combination thereof.
• On average, one gram of dog waste contains approximately 23 million f***l coliform bacteria.
• Some of the unsafe,
microscopic molecules and diseases found within dog p**p are:
Worms: Heartworms, Roundworms, Tapeworms, Hookworms, and Whipworms
Viruses: Parvo and Corona
Bacteria: Salmonella, Bordetella bronchiseptica
Other Parasites: Giardiasis, Coccidia, Cryptosporidium
• Such pathogens are extremely dangerous to humans, as well as other animals. They all cause different problems, but some of the most dangerous are: blindness, respiratory problems/failure, kidney or liver failure, infections, intestinal disease, and more.
• Dog waste is carried off by rain and melting snow into storm drains, rivers, ponds, streams, oceans, and other bodies of water, making it the number one offender for polluting water.
• Dog p**p is comprised of a high acidity factor that deteriorates your grass.
• The high ammonia levels and low oxygen levels emitted by dog f***s, into water, inhibits the growth of algae and weeds, threatening the balance of the ecosystem.
• If not picked up, dog p**p can take up to one year to break down.
• Even after the waste has melted away, larva and eggs can survive another year.
