Have you ever left your dog droppings on the grass or in the woods, thinking it didn’t matter because no one might step in it? Or maybe you thought it would decompose and help fertilize the ground.

Well, it certainly will decompose. But dog feces contain lots of bacteria and viruses, and that’s not good for our water systems. So pick up your dog’s poop with a plastic bag, and throw it away.

Here’s a handy graphic picked up by BarkPost that explains why it’s so important.
