Dog

Rogue dogs fouling neighbours gardens is a particular problem in some areas. The trouble with dog faeces is that they may contain roundworm eggs (toxocara). These are very hardy eggs, resistant to heat and cold, and can survive up to 7 years in the soil. The eggs can pass on to children through ingestion and cause them to become very ill. In addition, dog urine can cause brown or yellow round patches to appear on your lawn. Dogs can be stopped using your garden with a variety of methods outlined below in the 'How to prevent entry' section.

Dog: Description & Life Cycle

In Britain we do not have a problem with roving packs of ownerless dogs. Almost every dog has an owner, but if you suspect that your problem is from a stray dog, you should contact your local council dog warden. They are always very helpful and will do their best to resolve your problem.
