Handling Stool

Operating Procedure

 

Picking up stool

  • Stool must be picked up and disposed of immediately. Even if the poop is not from the pet you were walking, it is imperative to remove the feces ASAP.
  • Poop must be disposed in one of the garbage-bag-lined galvanized can with a tight fitting lid. The lid MUST remain on the can at all times to prevent dogs and flies from accessing it.
  • Stool can contain viruses, bacteria, parasites, diseases like Giardia, and more. Rememeber, saftey first! 
  • Any abnormal stool (blood, diarrhea, loose, mucus, and stool with foreign bodies in it) should be brought to the attention of a manager immediately.
  • There should always be one poop scoop set, a bucket, and steel can per fenced-in area.
    • If any poop scoops need to be replaced, please let a manager know.
  • Please see "Cleaning Up Diarrhea and/or Vomit" Precedure if a pet makes a mess in their room.
