Why should I scoop?

Dog feces are full of bacteria and parasites that can easily be transferred to humans and other animals. It can attract flies and other animals that may make their own deposits in your yard. It is also a significant contributor to bacteria (salmonella fecal streptococcus and E-coli) levels in our ground water.

In Saskatoon alone there are about 36000 dogs. These dogs produce about 15000lbs of feces every day. That's a lot of poop. By keeping your yard clean you can prevent the feces from getting tracked into your house and it will keep your neighbors happy when they don't have to smell or look at it.
