Why Carry Dog Poop Bags? The Key Benefits:

• Environmental Responsibility: Picking up after your dog prevents harmful bacteria and parasites from contaminating soil and waterways, protecting the environment and local ecosystems.
• Public Health: Dog waste can carry diseases that are transferable to humans and other animals. Responsible disposal helps maintain a healthy community.
• Respect for Others: Leaving dog mess behind is inconsiderate to other walkers, park users, and residents. Carrying and using poop bags shows respect for shared public spaces.
• Avoid Fines: As outlined below, it's a legal requirement in both Ireland and the UK to clean up after your dog in public areas.
• Keeps Your Shoes Clean! Let's face it, nobody wants to step in dog poop. Being prepared saves you from messy accidents.

The Legal Side: Picking Up After Your Dog in Ireland and the UK

• United Kingdom: In the UK, it is a legal requirement for dog owners to clean up after their dogs in public places. Failure to do so can result in on-the-spot fines (Fixed Penalty Notices) which can vary in amount depending on the local council. Some areas also have Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) in place that specify where dogs must be kept on a lead and other related rules.
• Ireland: Similarly, in Ireland, it is the responsibility of dog owners to clean up after their pets in public areas. Local authorities have bye-laws in place, and failure to comply can lead to fines.
