Why We Started
In today’s busy lifestyle, the unpleasant chore of cleaning up dog waste often falls to the bottom of the to-do list. We recognized that for many whether busy professionals, parents, or those with physical limitations maintaining a clean yard isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a necessity for property health and family wellness.

The Inconvenient Hard Truths About Pet Waste
Pet waste is classified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a dangerous pollutant, placing it in the same category as toxic chemicals and oil. In 2025, recent studies have further highlighted how uncollected waste fundamentally alters soil chemistry and local biodiversity.
Water Contamination and Algal Blooms
Stormwater Runoff: Rain washes uncollected waste into storm drains, which often lead directly to rivers and lakes without treatment.
Nutrient Overload: Pet waste is high in nitrogen and phosphorus. While these are plant nutrients, in excess they fuel harmful algal blooms that deplete oxygen in the water, creating “dead zones” where fish cannot survive.
Bacterial Load: One gram of dog waste contains roughly 23 million fecal coliform bacteria nearly twice the bacterial load of human waste. This can contaminate recreational waters, leading to beach closures and unsafe swimming conditions.
Soil Biodiversity and Vegetation
Not a Fertilizer: Unlike cow manure, dog waste is acidic and toxic to soil in its raw form due to the high-protein diets of pets.
Medication Residues: 2025 research indicates that residues from flea and worming medications excreted in pet waste can remain active in the soil, potentially killing beneficial insects and disrupting local food chains.
Long-Term Imbalance: Nutrient imbalances from accumulated pet waste can persist in nature reserves and parks for years after the animals are gone.
Public Health Risks (Pathogens)
Parasites: Waste can harbor roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms that linger in the soil for years. Children are particularly vulnerable to infections like toxocariasis, which can cause fever or even blindness in severe cases.
Diseases: It is a known carrier of parvovirus, giardia, salmonella, and E. coli.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Methane Release: As pet waste decomposes, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas significantly more potent than carbon dioxide.
Volume: One average dog produces about 274–275 pounds of waste annually. With millions of dogs in the U.S., unmanaged waste contributes significantly to landfill methane emissions.

Loved by Dogs, Trusted by Owners
Dogface has been totally incredible. Our yard stays spotless, and our dogs love their visits. The team is always friendly, on time, and super professional. I don’t have to worry about anything anymore. It’s the best decision we’ve made as pet parents.
I never thought I’d be so excited about a poop-scooping service, but Dogface really delivers! They’re consistent, fast, and my backyard has never looked better. Plus, my dogs adore them; they always show up with smiles and treats!
With three big dogs, keeping up with the mess was impossible until we found Dogface. Now the yard’s clean, it smells fresh, and we actually enjoy spending time outside again. These folks really care about what they do.
