Be Responsible!

Pick Up After Your Dog

Few things are worse than stepping in a pile of a dog's stool that some irresponsible dog owner has not picked up.

Being responsible for your dog is Your job. You would not expect a stranger to change your Childs' dirty diaper, nor should you expect them to pick up after your dog.

Be a good neighbor and responsible dog owner. When you take your dog for a walk, or anywhere away from home, carry along sandwich size plastic bags. I prefer the Baggies® brand because they are a full bag with the opening at the top rather than other brands that have the opening on the side to allow for a fold down flap.

Carry a box in your car and always have some in your pocket when your dog is with you.
