Every year, dogs generate an astonishing amount of waste—more than 5.8 billion pounds of dog poo nationwide. To put that into perspective, that’s enough dog poop to cover roughly 900 football fields more than a foot deep.

Why hire Rocky Mountain Scoopers?
You may look at the dog poo in your yard and think it’s harmless or just a minor inconvenience—but it’s far more serious than it appears. Dog poo isn’t only unpleasant to step around; it can also pose real health risks to both people and pets.
So why is dog poo such a concern? Dog waste often carries parasites such as roundworm, which are spread through contaminated dog poop left behind in yards, parks, and other outdoor spaces. Roundworm eggs and similar parasites can survive in soil for years, lying dormant until they find a new host. Anyone who comes into contact with contaminated ground is at risk of exposure.
Children are particularly vulnerable. Kids frequently play outside, whether in the backyard or at playgrounds, and they often touch their faces, rub their eyes, or put their hands in their mouths. These everyday behaviors significantly increase the risk of infection when dog poo is present.
Adults aren’t immune either. Think about common outdoor activities—kicking a soccer ball, tossing a baseball, or playing Frisbee at a park. These objects often come into direct contact with the ground, where parasite eggs may be present. Exposure can make people seriously ill, and in some cases, parasites can even pose dangers to unborn children.
By hiring a professional service like Rocky Mountain Scoopers, you dramatically reduce the chances of parasites lingering in places where people live, play, and work. We don’t just clean residential yards—we also service businesses, parks, and public spaces throughout Utah, anywhere dog poo may be present.
Dog Poo and the Environment
Many pet owners don’t realize that dog poo is harmful to more than just human health—it’s also damaging to your lawn and the environment. Dog waste contains high levels of ammonia, which can burn grass and leave behind unsightly brown patches across your yard.
The environmental impact goes even further. When dog poo is left on the ground, rain and irrigation cause it to break down and wash into storm drains. From there, it can enter local Utah rivers, streams, and waterways, contributing to pollution. Along with parasites like roundworm, dog poo can introduce bacteria and pathogens into water sources that people and wildlife depend on.
One particularly concerning bacterium is campylobacter, which can cause severe gastrointestinal illness in humans. In vulnerable populations—such as infants, the elderly, or individuals with compromised immune systems—this infection can be especially dangerous and, in rare cases, life-threatening.
Dog poo may also carry E. coli, parvovirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis. These pathogens are not something to take lightly, and preventing their spread starts with proper waste removal.
