If it’s still in the yard
Clean up can be a chore, and you know your dog is doing his or her business right in front of you, but there are still a few things you can do to make the job easier on yourself. We recommend getting a pet waste removal service so that someone else does all of the heavy lifting for you. Dept. of Doody offers pet waste removal services that will eliminate unsightly piles dog poop, odor & germs.
If it’s on the sidewalk
Exercise caution when cleaning up after your dog. Use a disposable container and some newspapers or paper towels to pick up your dog’s waste. Remember, in some areas, it is illegal to place this poop in a public trashcan. Once you have completed the cleanup and disposed of the pile responsibly, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. We recommend using disinfectant wipes if available for this purpose.
If It Ends Up on Your Shoes
If dog poop happens to fall on your shoe, quickly wipe it off and then dispose of the soiled tissue or paper towel in a plastic bag. Hose off the sole of your shoe thoroughly to prevent smearing and then dry with paper towel if you’re going inside right away. Be sure to wash your hands after as well!
If it ends up inside the house…
If the dog poop ends up inside the home, remove any large pieces of feces with your hands or a pet hair removal tool. Thoroughly wash and dry the area afterwards to prevent dirt and bacteria from spreading to other parts of the house. If it’s on a hard surface, an all-purpose cleaner and some paper towels should do the job. If it ended up in the carpet- then a carpet shampoo may be in order!
