Reasons why Pooper Trooper® can be beneficial to you.
People:
A single gram of dog waste can contain 23 million fecal coli form bacteria and can include parasites, viruses and diseases found in dog feces. One of the most devastating is Roundworm, which can cause blindness to children and can be transmitted to adults as well. Roundworm only take a few weeks to develop and can live for months, even years on your property. Our regular service appointments can ensure protection against the contamination and transmission of disease to people. For this reason, many women with young children and women who are pregnant have often hired Pooper Trooper® to handle their dog waste needs.
Pets:
Dogs step in it, smell it, some roll in it and there are those who often eat it. Many of them pick up serious diseases from it. The most common are: • Parvo Virus • Whipworms • Hookworms • Roundworms • Giardia • Coccidia. The best way to prevent these, and many other bacterial and parasitic infections that dogs can acquire from stools, is to remove feces on a regular basis and keep your dog current on vaccinations, fecal exams and de-worming.
Our Environment:
Bacterial source tracking studies in a watershed in the Seattle, Washington area found that nearly 20% of the bacteria isolates that could be matched with host animals were matched with dogs. This bacteria can pose health risks to humans and other animals and can result in the spread of disease. Pet waste is one of the leading causes of bacterial contamination in our local streams and waterways. Pet waste pollution can be avoided by ensuring waste is picked up routinely and not left out in the elements to eventually contaminate our environment.
