Why Regular Cleanup Matters for Dachshund Owners
A Dachshund produces approximately 52 pounds of waste per year — that's roughly 4.3 pounds every month accumulating in your yard. Without regular removal, this waste doesn't simply disappear. It breaks down into your soil, contaminating the ground where your family and pets play.
Dog waste contains harmful bacteria including E. coli, Salmonella, and parasites like roundworms and hookworms. The EPA classifies pet waste as a nonpoint source pollutant in the same category as herbicides and insecticides. For Dachshund owners in the Hudson Valley area, regular professional cleanup is the most effective way to protect your yard, your family, and your waterways.
