Picking Up Dog Poop - How NOT To Do It!

As responsible pet owners, we all know the importance of picking up dog poop. We understand very well the implications of leaving it lying on the floor. Abandoned dog waste is a threat to your environment, our waters, our health, the fitness of our pets and the health of others and their pets. Many people know the significance of using dog poop bags to accomplish our tasks as a responsible pet owner. However, please continue reading to understand just how many of us do not perform this correctly & most importantly, safely.

1) The first mistake we make is our dog poop bags could have holes in them. We often use plastic grocery bags, which quite often have a tear inside them. Always use two bags if using grocery bags, by inserting one in the other. Even if we use authentic dog waste bags purchased for picking right up dog poop, we often stuff these bags inside our pockets when heading out the entranceway. Quickly ripping them from our pockets when needed may weaken or cause a small unseen puncture in the wall of the bag. So stuffing the bags inside our pockets is not often the best option to carry them.

2) Our next error is not picking up your dog waste correctly. If we scrape of mash the bag against the ground while scooping, we often tear your dog poop bags. This will also cause more poop to lie remaining on the ground and this will cause additional problems. We must gently and gingerly lift the mess directly up from the ground, trying to leave as little remaining behind as possible.

3) Our third error is the one that is most often made by nearly all canine owners. After the dog waste is scooped up, we either tie the bag to the leash or we make it by hand. The possibility of breakage has just increased immensely. We've been doing it this way for so many years, that we don't even consider what we are doing. We are carrying a disgusting bag of animal feces down the general public street where it is usually bumped or scraped contrary to the dog, the ground, the body, a building, a tree and much more. How often have you walked down the street carrying a bag of your own feces? Yet your feces are much safer and less disease-carrying, than your dog's waste, which has the potential to cause 11 diseases and is also a standard carrier of worms and their eggs. Carrying dog poop bags in this unprotected manner is not only disgusting, but very unsafe.

4) Our final error is that we fail to do the most obvious and important task.  犬 食ふん プロキュア  want to ask a question: What now ? after visiting toilet facilities? You wash the hands, correct? Now why in the world don't we do exactly the same after handling dog waste? You might say "I didn't touch anything". Nevertheless, you still wash after visiting the bathroom . don't you, when you didn't touch anything? You may say "there is no soap and water nearby". Did you ever hear of hand sanitizer? You might say "I've never done it no one else does either". Are you going to continue to live in the past, not move forward to do what is correct and healthy and fail to teach others by your example the correct way to pick up dog waste?

The aforementioned four errors are very common mistakes in picking up canine feces yet are very an easy task to fix. By doing so, we will continue to improve our environment, our health and wellness and the health of others. In addition, you will be viewed as a responsible dog owner who is mature, knowledgeable, safety-conscious and considerate of others.
