    Top Ten Reasons You Need Pet Butler

    1. Pet Butler is incredibly affordable. ”It’s a dirty job, but Pet Butler’s gonna doo it! We also pickup small trash and can treat your lawn for Mosquitoes, Ticks and fleas as well as repair yellow spots caused by your pet. Dirty deeds done dirty cheap!
    2. The average dog defecates 2 to 3 times each day and produces 10 ounces of waste every time it defecates. That’s a lot of doo!
    3. Cleaning up after your pet is disgusting. It’s a dirty job, Pet Butler’s gonna doo it! We are not too cool to get the “stool”.
    4. You are “too pooped to scoop” and have better things to do with your time. Your dog’s business is our business!
    5. Your children deserve a clean Poop-free yard. Pet Butler picks up where your dog left off…
    6. Your pet is part of the family and deserves a healthy environment to live and play. We will undo your doggie doo.

    8. 2 to 3 days of dog droppings from 100 dogs contributes enough bacteria and nutrients to temporarily close recreation areas to swimming and shell fishing (US EPA, 1993). Every dog has its Doo.
    9. It’s not just the law, it’s your doody. Dog waste is 3rd or 4th on the list of bacteria contributors to polluted waters but is the most easily controlled by proper disposal.

    But then CNN reported more bacteria in refrigerator icemakers than in toilets. My guess is that doggy poop and people poop are about the same degree of dirtiness. Dunno. Anyhow, does that mean it's okay to use your toilet bowl to make a huge batch of margaritas?

    My dogs like the toilet water so if I filled the toilets with margeritas, I think we would have a problem!

    Re: Top Ten Reasons You Need Pet Butler

    I'm embarrassed to say that I am actually considering using the Pet Butler because our full-time beach neighbor lets her dogs use our pool landscaping for their toilet several times every day. We are thinking about sending her copies of the invoicing to make a point. Then I decided to approach her with a friendly, neighborhood attitude next time I am down there. The worst she can do is kick me down her stairs. I don't understand this mentality. I mean, we never take our dog out for a walk without the blue bag brigade. My husband has actually gone back up our road in CA with a flashlight on the few times he forgot the bag. This beach dog once ran at me snarling when I caught him/her in the act and tried to shoo it away. Is anyone aware of a pet poop deterent, such as sprays? I am so tired to spending my first morning at the beach picking up four months worth of petrified dog turdies.

    I guess you could always get a gardening fork and work it into the beds in your yard. It makes great fertilizer.

    Re: Top Ten Reasons You Need Pet Butler

    actually, dog poop contains too high nitrogen content to be considered useable fertilzer in it's natural state. also, since dogs are carnivores, their poop has the potential to contain e-coli, not something to have hanging around the yard. another reason to have dog poop picked up by every dog owner, is that the rainwater runoff eventually ends up in every body of water around here. this could cause algae blooms, consuming O2 and cutting off light to anything underwater. and quite frankly, who wants to recreate in sh*t?

    approximately 40% of dog owners refuse to pick up their dog's poop. Donna, you must confront your offending neighbor regarding this. she is just a lazy scofflaw, who is not behaving 'neighborly' in any way. there's no reason in the world for you to be financially responsible for her.

    Donna - JR makes a lot of sense.

    Donna be glad your neighbor doesn't have one or more BARKING dogs!!! I have that problem with my neighbors. Talk about not being neighborly, Arrrrrrgh! I don't know how theey stand the barking because I'm next door and it's like they are right outside my window. I can't go into my yard and enjoy it because the "cute" little doggies bark at every move. It's even worse when they leave them for hours and the dogs bark nonstop and the owners probably don't know and don't care. I can't go out on my back porch without them starting up. I can't have company over because as soon as we go out on the porch we can't even hear each other.

    Wow what a rant.

    I thought all poop contains high N content. Even fresh mushroom compost must be allowed to air out before planting anything in it because it will burn your plants otherwise. If the poop is up to four months old, it should be much less harsh on your plants.

    Now on the Ecoli thing, you have a good point. Also, if the other dog has fleas, the flea eggs could be in the poop, and if your dog eats digest the flea eggs, it can lead to worms inside your own dog. I wonder how shocked your neighbor would be to get a Vet bill of a few hundred dollars???

    Dog waste poses threat to water

    By Traci Watson, USA TODAY




    Cities want to pick up 'piles'






    By Traci Watson, USA TODAY

    Cities struggle with 'dog piles' Where they're cracking down:

    · San Diego. The city spent roughly $10,000 on extra trash cans, nagging signs and plastic "mutt mitts" at its Dog Beach, where the surf was closed to swimmers 125 times in 2000. The measures led to "measurably fewer dog piles. That's the term we use," says Ted Medina, deputy director for coastal parks. He estimates the beach is 30%-40% cleaner than it was before the effort started late last year.

    · Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area near Atlanta. Bacteria levels in the river exceed standards so often that a Web site tells would-be boaters and swimmers whether the river is safe on any given day. To help clean it up, park officials recently started giving tickets to visitors who have dogs but no doggie bags.

    · Boulder, Colo. Here the problem wasn't dirty water but the nitrogen in dog droppings. Native grasses in the city's mountain parks are used to low-nitrogen conditions. But with dogs doing their business, weeds were muscling aside the grasses. The city did 10 months of education before starting to hand out $100 fines last year. Boulder officials had to convince residents that dog waste "is not fertilizer," says Mike Patton, co-director of open space and mountain parks. "Some people really did believe it was."





    For as long as the dog has been man's best friend, dog waste has posed a menace to man's nose and foot. Now science has revealed a more unsavory truth: It's an environmental pollutant.

    In the mid-1990s, scientists perfected methods for tracking the origin of nasty bacteria in streams and seawater. From Clearwater, Fla., to Arlington, Va., to Boise the trail has led straight to the hunched-up dog — and to owners who don't pick up after their pets.

    At some beaches, dogs help raise bacteria levels so high that visitors must stay out of the water. Goaded by such studies, some cities have directed as much as $10,000 in the last few years to encourage dog owners to clean up after their pets. A few municipalities have started issuing citations to those who ignore pet clean-up ordinances.

    Many dog lovers are in denial about their pooches' leavings. But researchers have named the idea that areas used by dogs pump more bacteria into waterways — the "Fido hypothesis."

    Dogs are only one of many fixtures of suburban America that add to water pollution. Lawn fertilizers, rinse water from driveways and motor oil commonly end up in streams and lakes.

    But unlike those sources, dogs generate disease-causing bacteria that can make people sick. Studies done in the last few years put dogs third or fourth on the list of contributors to bacteria in contaminated waters. "Dogs are one of our usual suspects," says Valerie Harwood, a microbiologist at the University of South Florida. "At certain sites, we find their effect to be significant."

    It doesn't take a Ph.D. to figure out that dog do is nasty. But it took science to determine how nasty it is.

    From mutt to blue-blooded champion, all dogs harbor so-called coliform bacteria, which live in the gut. The group includes E. coli, a bacterium that can cause disease, and fecal coliform bacteria, which spread through feces. Dogs also carry salmonella and giardia. Environmental officials use measurements of some of these bacteria as barometers of how much fecal matter has contaminated a body of water.

    This wouldn't matter if pet dogs were as rare as pet chinchillas. But four in 10 U.S. households include at least one dog, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association. The association's statistics also show that Americans owned 54.6 million dogs in 1996 and 68 million dogs in 2000. Of that total, 45% were "large" dogs — 40 pounds or more.

    Those numbers add up to a lot of kibble. That wouldn't matter if all dog owners also owned a pooper-scooper. But several studies have found that roughly 40% of Americans don't pick up their dogs' feces (women are more likely to do so than men).

    New analysis provides answers

    The environmental impact of dog waste went unrecognized for decades. Then scientists developed lab techniques to determine the origin of fecal bacteria contaminating water. One method is a variant of DNA fingerprinting. Another method looks at the antibiotic resistance of microbes from different species.

    Scientists caution that the methods are still new. They are able to distinguish between major and minor sources of pollution, but they can't say with precision whether dogs contribute 20% or 30% of the pollution in a stream. "There's inherently some error," says Don Stoeckel, a microbiologist for the Ohio district of the U.S. Geological Survey who's studying bacteria-tracking methods. "I think the best (they) can do is give you some evidence of the magnitude of each source."

    Nonetheless, Stoeckel says, the analytical tools do provide useful information. Researchers have studied dozens of waterways. Wild birds and humans usually head the roster of who's fouling the water. But in some areas, dogs make significant deposits.

    At Morro Bay, Calif., for example, dogs contribute roughly 10% of the E. coli, says Christopher Kitts, a microbiologist at California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo. "And that can be the difference between a beach closing and a beach not closing," he says.

    Places where dogs dirty the water:

    Stevenson Creek in Clearwater, Fla. Residents were worried that a sewage treatment plant contaminated the creek. But when Harwood tested the water, she found that dogs, along with leaky septic tanks and wild animals, were to blame for high bacteria counts. Dog feces probably washed out of yards by the creek, Harwood says.
    Four Mile Run in Arlington and Fairfax counties, Va. Studies show that dogs add to the contamination in this suburban Washington, D.C. stream. Officials calculate that the 12,000 dogs living in Four Mile Run's watershed leave behind more than 5,000 pounds of "solid waste" every day.
    Boise River in Boise. The river suffers from high bacteria levels that make it unsuitable for swimming. Testing of streams and drainpipes flowing into the river showed that in urban areas, dogs were a leading culprit. In some spots, dogs and cats account for even more of the bacteria than human feces — from dysfunctional septic tanks and leaky sewage pipes — do.
    Fines don't sway some

    Even where dogs aren't the prime offenders, they're one of the few polluters authorities have control over. At many California beaches, for example, seagulls and other birds are most responsible for high bacteria levels. But federal laws protect birds.

    That leaves dogs. Officials know that they have a lot of educating to do before people realize their pooch can be a canine sewage pipe. Some people find it humiliating to carry a plastic bag.

    A survey by the Center for Watershed Protection in 1999 found that of the 41% of respondents who rarely or never clean up after their dogs, 44% would refuse to do so in the face of fines and neighbors' complaints. Reasons included, "because it eventually goes away," "small dog, small waste," and "just because."

    So more cities may follow the lead of Laguna Beach, Calif., a wealthy beach enclave. The city provides pooper-scoopers at the local dog park. But many people "don't take care of their little friends," says Victor Hillstead, the city's parks and buildings manager.

    So the city hired Entre-Manure, poop-scooping service based in nearby Dana Point whose motto is "#1 in the #2 Business." Since the city's contract started in January, the service has collected 187 pounds of dog waste from the city. "I'm real proud of that fact," says Craig Stern, founder and chief picker-upper. "That's pollution that'll never reach the ocean."

    Re: HOA'S Top Ten Reasons You Need Pet Butler

    Actually Doggie DOO is much more harmful than our POOP. It contains a high level of bacteria and Nitrogen meaning it is not a good manure or compost. It takes up to seven years to decompose even if mowed over.

    Doggie Poo also contains many bacteria and from mutt to blue-blooded champion, all dogs harbor so-called coliform bacteria, which live in the gut. The group includes E. coli, a bacterium that can cause disease, and fecal coliform bacteria, which spread through feces. Dogs also carry salmonella and giardia.

    Dogs also carry worm eggs, some of these are Zoonotic, can transfer to people, especially children who play on lawns.

    In your own yards urnine destroys grass areas, poop destroys grass areas and leaves a nast odor. Pet Butler services treat all of these problems enhancing the look and smell of your lawns. We also hose off decks, feed and water animals, treat for Fleas, Ticks and Mosquitos using a 100% natural product. So there are many benefits to our services

    Re: Top Ten Reasons You Need Pet Butler

    Some people find it humiliating to carry a plastic bag.

    on the contrary, they should hold the bag high as a sign of pride. "i'm not a nasty litterbug, environmental criminal, and bad neighbor. i'm responsible for all my dog does, love cleaning up after my dog, and other dog owners should too. look at me in my fur..." honestly, i could see where a plastic bag and fur may clash. but don't furs have pockets?


    Reasons for not picking it up

    * because it eventually goes away
    * just because
    * too much work
    * on edge of my property
    * it's in my yard
    * it's in the woods
    * not prepared
    * no reason
    * small dog, small waste
    * use as fertilizer
    * sanitary reasons
    * own a cat or other kind of pet

    Reasons for picking up

    # it's the law
    # environmental reasons
    # hygiene/health reasons
    # neighborhood courtesy
    # it should be done
    # keep the yard clean

    Another difference is that human feces generally goes through a sewage treatment process, whereas dog poop just lays around us.

    Re: Top Ten Reasons You Need Pet Butler

    So if I pick up the poo in my yard and place it in the garbage, it goes to the landfill and leaches into the ground water eventually, how is the end result different from my dogs pooping in the bushes in my yard when I, and my neighbors are on the County water system?

    Just Curious.

    Doesn't garbage get burnt? Our city has incinerators, but not so in Walton County?

    Not in Walton Co. Before going into the landfill (located next to the jail), the prisoners (I am not kidding) sort through the garbage supposedly pulling out the clean recycables which go through the recycling process (supposedly). Can you imagine having to open up garbage bags filled with dirty diapers and dog poo? That should be enough punishment to keep people from going to jail.

    If Martians come to earth and see this, maybe they will take my dogs instead of me.

    FYI - When I take my dogs out of the boundries of my yard, I also scoop their poop, trying to set a good example.

    Pet Butler (franchise) has been around up here for several years. I see the van in my neighborhood occasionally. Maybe I would use them if I had a big dog. Picking up big poop just grosses me out. Toy poodle poop..not so bad.

    Re: Top Ten Reasons You Need Pet Butler

    This is verbatim from The Orlando Sentinel Sunday, 19 Feb...."If Memory serves him right, he had best forget it." When you live in a small town like Winter Park, there's little chance of escaping your past, or, turns out, your lawyer. In a fit of temper in 1999, David Strong, now a candidate for mayor smeared dog doo doo on a neighbor's shirt and neck. A police report identified the offending stains as " a green-brown substance" with the "odor of excrement". Strong said last week that he "dealt with it inappropriately " and regretted the incident. It was the culmination of a neighborhood fued about whose dogs were doing what in whose yard. Strong was arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge, but completed anger-management class and community service through a pre-trial diversion program, and the charge was dropped. Six months later, a petition to seal the case was filed, but after 2 months, it was withdrawn. The lawyer handling the petition was Kenneth "Kip" Marchman, current mayor and Strong's opponent in the March 14 election............Jay Leno, David Letterman, have at it.

    Actually, I have 2 dogs and Pet Butler is awesome. I am now a client of the service it is affordable and it is nice to not have poop all in my yard. It is a wonderful idea. I think with all the people who have dogs around here it is a smart idea. When they were at our house numerous people asked how they could get the service. Keep up the good work Pet Butler.

    Well, If you are considering using them go for it. They just started for me about a week ago and the service is wonderful. They pick up and spray so it kills any bacteria and spray so it takes away any smell. Everything they use is safe if your dogs get near it. They also bring treats for your dogs. I think our dogs enjoyed the visit most.

    Did I miss something or has nobody said that Pet Butler has a really crappy job

    Yes, our bags are in a little container attached to our leash and she's dressed better than me so i guess there's no question about who's in charge.

    Got to be the most disgusting thread on the board but hilarious!

    I'll know how to spot you while I am out with my 2 bohemians! We try to be chic but I finally had to give in to the Target bags. Maybe when my 2 will grow into chic!

    She dresses better than I do. I kid you not. We just got her first bathing suit for walks on the beach. She's hairless and needs to be covered. Someone in seacrest stopped me and said that Sunshine is getting famous over there. Quite the fashion maven right down to her pink toenails. I think I have empty nest syndrome.

    BTW,

    As one who's big on scooping, I've been trying to get Seacrest Beach 2 to put some sort of receptacles every few blocks to encourage owners to clean up . Even if they are little bags or something. Have gotten shot down so if you live in Seacrest Beach 2 and support some sort of receptacle to put your baggies in while out on walks, email Connie our association manager at seacrestmanager@earthlink.net Thanks

    I'll be down this weekend for a couple of weeks. I am going to have my eyes peeled for the fashion diva "Sunshine'.

    Gladly! I hate carrying those things around until I get back home. With 2 of them, those "deposits" add up!

    Wll thankfully Sunshines tiny little deposits haven't increased my net holdings that much! Hoping to be back in town with the little deb next week so see you then. Maybe it'll be warm enough for her to sport her new bathing suit. Hope to see you. She's the one with the bad dressed owner

    Sunshine, you didn't tell us that you made tiny little deposits.
