Default Dog poop is not good fertilizer

A quick web browser search will take you to dozens of sites that will tell you that dog poop is not good lawn fertilizer and is, in fact, a health hazard if left on lawns. Dog poop, unlike cow manure, not only doesn't have the proper nutrients to be beneficial fertilizer, it has the potential for passing a variety of diseases to other dogs and to humans.

Puppies, in particular, are at high risk for being infected with the potentially deadly Parvo Virus.

Further, what kind of grass seeds are you leaving on the lawns of strangers; St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bahia ? All three types can be found in The Villages. Leaving the wrong kind would be unwelcome.

You might want to consider being a good, thoughtful neighbor and pick up after your dog. I'm sure it would be appreciated.
