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.
