The Dog Fouling Issue
Dog fouling poses a serious health risk on Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown’s parks, beaches and paths when not cleaned up properly. After 2 weeks, uncollected dog poop becomes a host for disease such as Salmonella, E-coli and roundworm!
The Green Dog Walker Pledge
The Green Dog Walkers scheme is a positive and pro-active way to encourage and support responsible dog ownership in Dún Laoghaire Rathdown. It aims to raise awareness of the problem of dog fouling and arm dog owners with the tools to ensure our parks, paths and beaches remain beautiful and safe for everyone.
When you sign up and “Take the Pledge” we will send you a complimentary Green Dog Walker sustainable material poop bag dispenser and an additional roll of degradable doggie bags.
By taking the pledge you agree to always clean up after your dog, to carry extra doggie bags and to gladly give others a bag for their dog if they ask for one. By using the green doggie bone, you are signalling that you are a responsible dog owner participating in and supporting the scheme.
So please join the scheme and join the community of dog walkers taking steps to tackle dog fouling in Dún Laoghire-Rathdown.
