Dog Waste Bags - Why Some Say "No"

By Kay Ringelstetter


Recent studies have shown that 41% of dog owners rarely or never clean up after their dogs. They don't use dog waste bags, pooper scoopers, or any other method of disposing of their dog's feces. What are their reasons for this?

1) "Because it eventually goes away". But does it? Certainly! It is washed into our lakes and streams, posing a threat to our water and harming fish and wildlife. New lab techniques have determined that dog waste contributes 20% -30% of fecal bacteria contaminating our streams and lakes As it "goes away" into our lawns, it causes burns, unsightly discoloring and toxicity to new growth. And it is also tracked into our homes, on to our carpets, into our vehicles.

2) "My dog is small, so the waste is small". That may be true, but a single gram of dog feces contains 23 million coliform bacteria. Dog feces are common carriers of giardia, salmonella, roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms and 6 other diseases. Even a tiny amount of dog waste will cause problems. It is still washed into our waterways, tracked into our homes, damaging to our lawns and poses a health hazard to all.

3) "I find it humiliating to carry plastic dog waste bags". Certainly this is also true! Especially when you are also carrying a cup of coffee or a sandwich. Especially when it could break and spill its contents wherever. Especially when everyone knows what you are carrying! Wag'n'Load solves this humility problem. The dog waste bag is hidden in an interior pocket, so no one knows what you are carrying. It is protected so it will not break. And you can carry your coffee or sandwich since you have used the hand sanitizer after picking up your dog's feces.

4) "Just because." This is a very sad reason. Owning a dog brings with it immense responsibilities, as we all know. This involves concern for the welfare of our pet, but also our family, our neighbors, and our communities. This certainly dictates a maturity level where "just because" should not even be in our vocabulary.

As responsible dog owners, we must all educate ourselves and others regarding the many and immense problems associated with dog waste that is not picked up. The EPA has placed dog poop in the same category as toxic chemicals, deeming it a "nonpoint source of pollution".
