The Dirty Truth: How Dog Poop Affects Your Lawn

The Dirty Truth: How Dog Poop Affects Your Lawn

If you're noticing yellow patches, dead grass, or a funky smell hanging around your garden, your dog’s poop might be to blame.

While it’s easy to assume the waste just “breaks down naturally,” the truth is far messier.

Dog waste is highly acidic, which can burn grass and disrupt the nutrient balance in your soil. And when it's not removed regularly, it builds up—creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, parasites, and flies.

Here's what dog poop does to your lawn:

💩 Creates brown or yellow dead patches

💩 Harbours harmful pathogens

💩 Attracts flies and pests

💩 Makes outdoor time less enjoyable for everyone

The longer it sits, the worse the damage. And while lawn treatments might temporarily mask the problem, the only real solution is consistent clean-up.

Don’t have the time (or desire) to scoop it yourself? That’s where Pooch Troop comes in. We offer reliable, no-hassle residential poop scooping services in Albuquerque, so your lawn stays green, clean, and safe for everyone—pets and people alike.
