Keeping your pets on a leash ensures their safety, and the safety of wildlife around them. In addition to safety, it's important for pet owners to keep track of their pet's waste. Pet waste adds excess nutrients into the ecosystem that create unstable conditions. Across the US, 83 million pet dogs produce 10.6 million tons (that’s 21,200,000,000 pounds) of poop every year, each pound adding excess nutrients to the ecosystem if the waste isn’t disposed of properly (Leave No Trace 2017).
