As the cooler air rolls into Winchester and the Shenandoah Valley this September, many dog owners are enjoying long walks, backyard playtime, and cozy evenings with their pups. But with the change in season comes a hidden challenge most pet parents don’t think about: dog waste left behind in your yard can actually cause bigger problems in the fall.
At Shenandoah Scooper Squad, we believe September is the perfect month to double down on a clean, safe, and fresh yard for your family and pets. Here’s why.
🌧️ Fall Rain + Dog Waste = Trouble
September often brings more rainfall to Northern Virginia. When pet waste is left on the ground, rain doesn’t “wash it away” — it actually breaks it down into harmful bacteria and parasites that can seep into soil, run off into storm drains, and contaminate local waterways.
Keeping your yard clean this month helps protect:
- Your family and pets from exposure to bacteria.
- Our local community by reducing harmful runoff.
- Your grass from “burn spots” caused by waste build-up.
