Your Lawn Hates Dog Poop: 3 Reasons to Scoop It Up
“Our promise at Scoopstars NZ is to provide Porirua pet owners with a reliable, stress-free service that maintains clean, safe, and welcoming outdoor spaces ā for families, pets, and the wider community.”
– Founders Xavier and Trina
Reason 1: Dog Waste is Killing Your Yard
Ā
Improperly managed dog waste can significantly harm your lawn and the surrounding environment. It can create unsightly dead patches, weaken your turf, and encourage weed growth.
Ā
……additionally, it poses a risk to both soil and water quality. Regularly picking up after your dog is an easy way to keep your lawn healthy, prevent expensive repairs, and maintain a clean outdoor space.
Reason 2: Dog Poop Attract Nasties
Ā
Flies, mosquitos, and other insects are drawn to dog waste, using it as a food source and a place to lay eggs. This turns your yard into a breeding ground for pests. The presence of poop can also attract scavengers like rats, which are known to carry diseases.
Ā
When it rains, these “nasties” can wash into our stormwater drains, which flow directly into our local streams, the Porirua Harbour, and the sea, posing a health risk to the wider community and impacting our precious waterways.
Reason 3: One Less Thing to Think About!
Ā
Dog waste in the yard is one of those chores that often slips down the priority list. Over time, it can build up to the point where some yards go unused altogether, simply because of the mess and the smell.
Ā
Instead of worrying about it, let us take care of the job for you. Weāll scoop week-to-week, making sure your property stays clean, safe, and welcoming.
Ā
On top of that, we provide a kennel-grade cleanse to not only neutralise odours and help eliminate nasties, but bring your yard back to life.
Ā
So it feels fresh, inviting, and ready to be enjoyed again.
