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

)✅ Double-bag and dispose of it properly

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.
