Why picking up after your dog is important Why picking up after your dog is important

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!

💡 Did you know one dog poo can:
⚠️ Pollute a tennis court–sized area of the sea
⚠️ Make our pavements smelly, dirty, and unsafe
⚠️ Make kids, adults and even other dogs sick

Here is a fascinating video on the effect of dog fouling on our local beaches: Leave only Paw Prints - Acclimatize

You've bagged it, now bin it!

To tackle the rise in incidents of bagged waste being left behind in our parks, streets and green spaces, pledgers will receive the Earth Rated Poop Bag Dispenser which comes with a handy clip to make bringing the bagged mess to the bin easier than ever. Don't double your litter! Bring the bag to the bin.

Take the Pledge!
