๐พHealth: Dog waste can carry harmful bacteria and parasites that can spread disease to other pets and humans.
๐พEnvironment: Leftover waste can pollute our water systems and harm wildlife.
๐พCourtesy: No one likes to step in dog p**p! Cleaning up after your dog shows respect for your neighbors and keeps our public spaces clean.
Letโs all do our part to keep our community safe and enjoyable for everyone. Always carry bags with you and pick up after your pup!
