Why Regular Cleanup Matters for Irish Wolfhound Owners
A Irish Wolfhound produces approximately 313 pounds of waste per year — that's roughly 25.7 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.
