Animal fouling
Every day dogs leave excrement on footways and public open spaces. Not only is it unsightly and a nuisance when you step in it, but contact can also lead to blindness due to an infection called 'Toxocara canis'.
How you can help:
- If you have a garden encourage your dog to 'go' there. You can always then bury the mess or clean it up and bin it.
- When you walk your dog always have at hand a poop scoop or simply a plastic bag.
- Every time your dog fouls "bag it and bin it".
It is every dog owners duty to clean up after their dog.
