New Puppy? Here’s the Scoop on Poop!

Bringing home a new puppy is exciting — new toys, cuddles, and a loyal companion to grow with your family. But there’s one part of puppy ownership nobody loves: the poop.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Here’s what every new dog owner should know about managing waste in your yard — and how Elite Scoops can help.

1. Puppies Poop — A Lot

Puppies can go up to 5 times a day while they’re young. That’s a lot of little landmines to track and scoop — especially in a busy household. If left alone, those piles build up quickly, creating sanitation issues and ruining your lawn.

2. Early Cleaning = Better Training

Keeping your yard clean actually reinforces potty training. Dogs avoid soiling areas that are kept clean, and a fresh yard helps them know where to go — and where not to.

3. Bacteria and Parasites Aren’t Just Gross — They’re Dangerous

Puppy waste can carry roundworms, Giardia, and other harmful bacteria. If not picked up promptly, it can infect other pets or even humans through the soil or paws.

4. You're Already Busy — Let Us Help

Between feeding schedules, vet visits, training, and sleepless nights, scooping poop probably isn’t at the top of your list — but it’s critical.

That’s where Elite Scoops comes in. We’ll keep your yard clean while you focus on bonding with your new best friend.
