Next Practice Proper Pet Management While Visiting the Waterfront
All pet owners enjoy walking their 4-legged friends and playing freebee with them at the beach. The wastes from our pets, whether in our yard or at the beach, is a source of thriving bacteria that can contaminate our waters. You can help reduce the impact of your pet’s excretion by following some simple steps.
:arrow: Properly dispose of your pet’s waste, while at the beach. Doggie Bags will do just fine.
:arrow: Properly dispose of the pet’s waste on your lawn and when walking your pet around the neighborhood. If left on lawns, sidewalks, or alleys, pet waste will wash into local sewers and waterways. Remember this too goes right into our permeable soils to the aquasheds and eventually right down to the lakes.
:arrow: Dog beaches should be properly laid out and carefully monitored. Dog beaches are becoming more popular, and controversial, in some cities. If they are going to exist, they should not lead to beach contamination or migratory bird disturbances.
