Backyard BBQ Season? Don’t Let Dog Poop Crash the Party

Summer is here—longer days, warm evenings, and one of the best parts of the season: backyard BBQs.

You’ve got the grill fired up, drinks chilling, and the guest list confirmed.But there’s one thing that could ruin the whole vibe before it even starts:

Dog poop in the yard.


Let’s Talk About the Real Problem

Dog waste isn’t harmless. It’s toxic to grass, full of bacteria, and a total party-killer.





Here’s what you’re actually dealing with:

  • Bad smells that linger in the heat

  • Embarrassing accidents for guests (barefoot or not!)

  • Health risks from parasites and bacteria

  • Dead patches in your lawn

Even one pile left out can cause all four.


One Quick Cleanup = A Much Better Party

Booking just one visit from Puppy Pal before your BBQ can make a huge difference.

Here’s what we do:

✅ Walk your entire yard edge-to-edge

✅ Remove every pile (even hidden ones

)✅ Double-bag and dispose of it properly

✅ Leave your yard clean, safe, and party-ready

Dog-Friendly Parties? Here’s How to Keep It Clean

If you’re inviting other pet owners (or letting your pup roam), follow these pro tips:


Set Up a Doggie Zone

Create a spot in the yard with mulch or fake turf where dogs can do their business.

Add a poop bag station and a waste bin to keep it contained.


Keep Water Handy

Hot weather + BBQ food = thirsty pups.Put out bowls of clean water around shady spots.


Be the Responsible Host

Keep extra bags nearby and gently point guests to the designated area if needed.


Why Regular Cleanups Matter—Even Without a Party

In hot weather, waste breaks down faster, attracting flies and bacteria.

Recurring cleanups keep your lawn:

  • Smelling fresh

  • Free of harmful germs

  • Safe for kids and pets

  • Visually clean for guests

We offer weekly, bi-weekly, and custom plans.


Signs You Need a Cleanup (Even If You Don’t See Poop)

Not sure it’s time? Watch for these:

  • Strong smell near the back door

  • Dogs sniffing the same spot repeatedly

  • More flies around the grass

  • Shoes mysteriously tracking in dirt…

Spoiler: it might not be dirt.
