As a local Pet Butler franchisee I see and step in a lot of dog poop. Pet Butler is an industry leader in the fast growing Pet Waste Cleanup business. Yes that’s correct; there are actually businesses that specialize in scooping dog poop. Over the last 20 years entrepreneurs have been scooping poop from back yards of dog owners all across America. This “grass roots" business is now maturing and consolidating with the growth of a few national Pooper Scooper companies.

Pet Butler, America’s Pet Waste Cleanup Service has been picking up since 1988. In 2008 Pet Butler will surpass the 100 franchise mark with offices coast to coast. We are professionals in our field and are truly number 1 in the number “2" business. But why scoop the poop. Why not just let it decompose into the soil.

Well to begin with dog poop is disgusting. Big brown mounds emanating a stench and attracting flies and other insects. It kills the grass and no matter where in the yard it is always under foot. Dog poop does not decompose like horse manure does. Based on the diet of dogs the by product does not become fertilizer. Diseases can and are transmitted by dog poop. An entire host of worms and parasites live in feces and can re-infect cured dogs as well as be passed onto humans. Children are especially at risk. Dog poop gets washed into our water system and helps contribute to water table pollution. Decaying waste breaks down using up oxygen and creating ammonia. This can lead to fish kills.
Managing dog waste is everyones responsibility. If you can’t or won’t scoop the poop call a professional.
