Dog Fouling

Picking up your dog’s mess is an important part of being a responsible dog owner.

The minority of irresponsible dog owners who do not clean up after their dogs give all dog owners a bad name.

Remember to always carry a poo bag with you. Tie one to your lead so you always have a spare. Dispose of dog mess in a designated poo bin or any public litter bin. Don’t discard your used poo bags for someone else to pick up. It’s important to keep sight of your dog at all times when in a public space so that you can see when and where they poo. If you see someone in need of a poo bag offer them one of yours! Remember to wash your hands after your walk. Dog faeces may contain worms that can be a threat to human health. For advice about treating your dog against worms, contact your vet.
