Remind your pet to be a good neighbor

Dogs are smart–there’s no doubt about it. But sometimes when nature calls, they temporarily forget their manners.

That’s where you come in. When you’re walking your dog, please keep him or her on a leash, and remind your pet that your neighbors’ lawns weren’t created to be outdoor restrooms. That means keeping your pet on the roadway or sidewalk.

The high urea content of animal urine can leave lawns with unsightly kill zones that may take weeks to recover. And of course no one likes to step in or clean up piles left behind by someone else’s pet. Thank you for your help with this matter.
