There are a lot of good reasons to clean up your dog's waste-- and one of them is your (and your family's) health. Many really nasty diseases are passed through the intestinal tract and shed into the feces, and many of these can infect humans even if your dog is not affected by them.
Not everyone watches where they are walking, especially children. Small children get their hands into everything on the ground-- and their hands go straight into their mouths. Besides that, nobody likes to step in dog poop, or smell it, or see it lying in their path. It's just not a very pleasant addition to the scenery. And if you don't pick it up regularly, it can be smelled from all the way down the street.
Cleaning your animal's waste from the yard weekly is an easy, affordable way to protect your health, your family's health-- and your neighbor's noses!
