Did you know there are over 1500 licensed dogs in Medway! Each of these dogs produces about ¾ pound of solid waste and over 7 billion bacteria daily! Bacteria and other parasites found in pet waste, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, can survive for long periods when left on the ground. During a rainstorm, these pollutants can be washed into local rivers and ponds! So scoop the poop…it’s the right thing to do!
