Deploying Means Delegating Everything
Military deployment means leaving your dog in someone else's care for months or years. Whether your dog stays with family, friends, or a pet sitter, waste management needs to be part of the care plan before you leave.
Pre-Deployment Checklist
- Written care plan: Document your dog's waste routine, preferred areas, and any issues
- Supply stockpile: Leave a 6-month supply of bags, cleaners, and tools
- Professional service setup: Arrange and prepay service for the deployment period
- Emergency contacts: Provide vet information and backup caretaker contacts
- Financial arrangements: Budget for waste management costs in your deployment budget
For the Caretaker
If you are caring for a deployed service member's dog, waste management is part of the responsibility. The dog's routine should be maintained as closely as possible to reduce stress during the owner's absence.
Info
Clean Paws offers military family discounts and flexible scheduling for deployment periods. We understand the unique needs of military families and their pets.
Returning Home
When you return from deployment, schedule a deep yard cleanup to start fresh. Your dog will be excited to resume normal routines, and a clean yard makes the homecoming that much better.
