Dog feces don’t disintegrate into the soil. If left on your lawn, it can pose serious health hazards to both your pet(s) and your family. Parasites are transmitted via dog feces. When infected dog droppings are on the ground, eggs of roundworms can linger in the soil for several years. As a result, any pet or person who comes into contact with the soil has the potential to come into contact with the infected eggs. Hookworms can be transmitted from the infected soil or feces to people who walk barefoot.
Dog waste often contains bacteria and parasites which may be communicable and harmful to humans – especially to children. Children run the highest risk of infection because they play in the dirt and frequently put their fingers in their mouths and rub their eyes with their hands. Teens and adults run the risk of becoming infected too because they play games
in the yard and do yard work. Parasitic infections can make humans very sick and can be very harmful to pregnant women.
Parasitic infections can spread from one dog to the next through feces. Because many dogs eat another dog’s waste, the threat of spreading disease this way should be a concern to pet owners. For more information visit (Pet Education).
The Dog Porter uses veterinarian approved disinfectant on tools and footwear between each waste clean up job to protect against the spread of disease.
