Though some of these companies name may seem funny to some, according to SiouxFall.Org , pet waste is certainly no laughing matter! Pet waste causes an assortment of environmental issues when it enters the Big Sioux River. Decaying pet waste consumes oxygen and also can release ammonia. Both low oxygen levels and ammonia can damage the health of fish and other aquatic life within our local waterways. Pet waste also carries a variety of bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can threaten the health of both wildlife and humans alike. Nutrients within pet waste promote weed and algae growth (eutrophication) if it finds its way into a body of water. Both cloudy and green, Eutrophic water makes swimming and recreation unappealing and even unhealthy.

What Can We Do?

Cleaning up after your pooch isn’t just a courtesy for those walking behind you; it is also a healthy and environmentally sound thing to do. Pet waste can be a significant source of water pollution. When pet waste is not properly disposed of, it can be carried by rain or snow runoff directly into our local waterways or through our storm drainage system. Please follow these guidelines to ensure that we keep Sioux Falls and our local waterways clean!

Pick up after your pet every single time. Check with your pet store for products that make cleaning up easier.

Throw away pet waste in the garbage, never into the gutter or storm drain.

Carry extra bags in your car so you are always prepared when traveling with your pet.

Get involved in a pet-owners’ group and help to remind others to pick up after their pets.

Cats are making a name for themselves. These hot-shot superstars in funny cat videos, memes, reels, and TikTok videos. So why not give them a special month of glory where we can celebrate their stubbornness, independence, and selective self-sustainable being. February is for the cats, and more specifically it's for their health, it is called National Cat Health Month." Pet Pals encourages every cat parent to spend the month with extra focus on their cat's physical and emotional well-being, and research signs of unhealthy behavior or illness. Pet Pals has compiled 3 tips to help ensure your furry cat friend stays in tip-top shape. 1. Litter boxes should be in a well-lit, quiet, and ventilated room of the house that's easily accessible to your kitty. It should not be in a dark, noisy place because he may choose not to use it. You should also clean it once a day. It's a good way to notice changes that may be a sign of health issues. 2. Even though cats spend approximately five hours a day grooming themselves, they still need our help to stay happy and healthy. Depending on the length of your kitty's hair, you'll want to make brushing part of your weekly or daily routine. 3. Yes. Feline pet parents also need to get their kitties used to nail trims and teeth cleanings. Slowly get them used to have their paws and nails touched. Do the same with their teeth and gums. An excellent way to start with dental health is by having them taste kitty toothpaste. Extend ‘agape’ love to your kitty friend. As Albert Schweitzer once said, “There are two means of refuge from the misery of life – music and cats.” Pet Pals - Pet care, dog walking, and dog mentor experts in the Sioux Empire committed to making people and pets' lives easier, healthier, and happier. Your Pet Will Thank You! Happy National Cat Health Month! Brag about you cat in the comments, pictures and/or video encouraged!
