How do you determine the number of pickups?

What about smells?

How do we keep our patios clean until scheduled pickup?

  • The most responsible way to pickup after “you know who” is to flush his or her bowel movement down the toilet.

Don’t you think this product/service promotes not walking your dog?

  • Our product is designed to take the place of the quick-and-to-the-point walks that usually take place early in the morning or late at night, walks that are usually just used for bathroom breaks - not exercise. Essentially, we believe that bathroom breaks are bathroom breaks, and walks should be predominantly for exercise. We still strongly recommend your dog receive the daily exercise/walks he or she deserves.
