There are now over 60 million pet dogs in the United States alone! All these dogs have 1 thing in common - they eat and poop! Dogs are commonly infected with intestinal parasites which have the ability to potentially cause life threatening disease.
According to the CDC - human infection is an emerging public health issue as the human environment is increasingly shared with infected animals, either pets or wildlife. An infected dog can shed up to 50 Million worm eggs per week!
New animal ordinance laws now mandate that you cleanup fecal material while in public places. According to the CDC and the CAPC (Companion Animal Parasite Control) the best way to prevent human infection is by cleaning up fecal material on a daily and weekly basis.
