The Green Dog Walker Programme is a non-confrontational friendly way to change attitudes about dog-fouling.
What’s the Green Hi Vis Vest for ?
If you see someone wearing the Green Dog Walkers Vest, it means they have “taken the pledge” to:
- Always clean up after their dog.
- Carry extra dog waste bags.
- Gladly give you a dog waste bag for your dog – just ask !
The Facts
- Dog fouling is a health hazard. Did you know that children and sports field players and wheelchair users are most at risk from toxocariasis due to dog fouling?
- You could be at risk from other potential infections from dogs including agents such as roundworm, salmonella and e-coli.
- Under the Litter Pollution Acts 1997 – 2003 a fine of €150 can be imposed for not cleaning up after your dog.
