It shouldn’t be something that we as pet professionals have to remind people but as a dog owner it is your responsibility to clean up after your dog!
Not only is it your responsibility it is the law! You can be issued with a fine, a court notice, and even prosecution if you are caught not picking it up.
If you are taking public spaces and other peoples land it is just downright rude to leave your dog poo, and even worse bagging it and leaving it. I’ve even seen people with poo bags hanging out of their pocket who still refuse to pick it up.
If you can’t do this basic part of dog ownership then what else are you not doing?
There are so many good poo bag companies out there nowadays, and I’m sure the people who refuse to pick it up don’t even care about the quality of the bags.
If you see someone not picking up their dog poo then please report to the dog warden so a case can be built. Dog poo carries alot of bacteria and can be dangerous across many species.
