Do you pick up after your dog?

Our dogs don't get off our property... we don't live in the city, but even we pick up the poo so that we don't step in it in the yard. We use a shovel and get it out of the way. I am thinking of using dog poo as a fertalizer for a garden this year.. something to do with the poo.

I always pick up after my dog too. He lives inside the home with us but sometimes he gets crumbs in his bed or on the floor from his dog food or his treats. He also drips water on the floor when he gets a drink. I clean it up as soon as I see it. We let him out to play in the front yard. He uses the bathroom in the back yard though. I can't stand when he poops in the yard and it just lays there. I will go out and scoop it up or I will have my daughter do it. I don't want anyone to step in it. I also do not want to suck it up in my lawn mower bad either. That is very stinky and nasty too.

I live in New York City. I wish that there were free mutt mitts here!!! I buy a biodegradable brand of poop bags, and bring them with me when we go for our walks. However, in the winter, he uses a litter pan with a wee wee pad in it since he is only 8 lbs and could easily get sick in the snow (or I might lose him in the snow when the snow is higher than his head!!!)

It's really gross here, because a lot of people don't clean up after their dogs. It's really gross, and is how a lot of diseases are spread from dog to dog (there are really no diseases that humans can get from dogs)

Oh yes I alwayts take a bag out with me and pick up after her. Its not fair for the other people to have to walk around it or even see it. I clean it up myself. Which is what i hope they would do if they had a pet as well.

We always bring along a bag to pick up our dog's poo. Other then the nation's garden, our neighbourhood parks do not have bags or the "mutt mitt" so every owner shld bring their own bag. But some people do not bother to pick up after their dog, they think that to bring their dogs downstairs to do its business outdoor means they can save the effort of cleaning up. So sometimes u do see poo on the grass.

I have a question, how do u clean the pee? There was once my silly dog pee on the walkway. I did not have any water with me, neither there is any water available nearby. After standing there for a min or so, i decided to walk away feeling guilty n praying tt no one saw wat my dog did n point their fingers at me.

I don't have a dog, but when my MIL and her dog come to visit, we bring a plastic grocery sack & pick it up inside the bag, similar to the mutt mitt. I live in an apartment and not everyone is courteous so it's pretty gross sometimes in the grassy area behind us. It would be nice if there were dispensers here. Maybe it would remind the owners to clean up the mess.

That is gross..I had a dalmatian puppy before and he litters everywhere in the house and I pick it up with newspapers..but in the end I had to return him to my sister because the house stinks. No I won't be caught dead picking up doggies litters...ewww...Well in our country dogs are not usually taken to parks they are just guard dogs at home.

I don't have a dog, and this is one reason I'm glad I don't. I don't want to have to pick up dog poop.

It is an offence here too. There are a number of fancy products available to help pick up poo. The council were giving away these cute little bags that dogs wear around their necks. They are supposed to contain the bag(s) you use to pick up the poos.Of course we have to carry around a spade. Then carry the dog poo bag away. Oghhh. and we are not allowed to put the basgs of dog poo in public rubbish bins.

I have a pooper-scooper I bought from a pet shop whenever I take my dog beyond my yard for a walk. At a dog park I used those free mitts also. If you are going to be a responsible pet owner, then you have to clean up after your dog. I wouldnt want to step in it, would you?
